Rebates (verify; don’t trust a random Facebook ad)
Microwaves rarely carry energy rebates. Check your utility only if bundling with a larger kitchen remodel. Start with IRS, ENERGY STAR, and DSIRE.
Local tip: Hot kitchens and garages cook electronics — ask whether the bid covers a service call if the board fails again in peak season.
