Appliance Tax Holiday information from Buncombe County News (I’ve also been told Lowe’s will be offering an additional 10% off all Energy-Star Appliance purchases during the tax holiday):

Tax Holiday for Energy Star Appliances – November 6 – 8
Are you thinking of renovating your kitchen or just updating a few appliances? If so, you may want to take advantage of the sales tax holiday for certain Energy Star qualified products coming November 6 – 8, 2009.

According to the Department of Revenue, an Energy Star qualified product is a product that meets the energy efficient guidelines set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Energy and is authorized to carry the Energy Star label. Clothes washers, freezers, refrigerators, central air conditioners, room air conditioners, air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers, and programmable thermostats will be exempt from State and local sales and use tax when purchased during the sale tax holiday period. There is no threshold, as is the case with items sold during the August sales tax holiday for clothing, school supplies, computers, etc.”
