Wood Stove Changeout Program

Do you heat with an old Wood Stove
or Fireplace Insert?

Start saving money today! "Instant rebates" starting at $400-$550 or more* are available to pre-qualified Spokane-area homeowners who trade-in their old wood stove or fireplace insert when a new wood, pellet or natural gas device is purchased and installed.

*The minimum rebate is $400 to switch to a new wood or pellet stove or insert and $550 to switch to a new gas stove or insert. In addition, some participating retailers/manufacturers will offer added rebates/discounts. These amounts vary from $50-$100 depending upon the type of device you're upgrading to and where you purchase it. Those who qualify will be sent a list of retailers and the added rebates/discounts available.

~~This is a limited-time offer. Initial application period is Jan. 2- Feb. 29, 2008.~~ EXTENDED APPLICATION PERIOD: Applications will be accepted after Feb. 29. Limited funds still remain. Get your application in as soon as possible! (There is no guarantee funds will be available at the time of your application submittal. We will contact all applicants and let them know of their application status.)

Why upgrade?
There are many reasons to upgrade your old wood stove or insert. Newer technology stoves burn much cleaner and efficiently, saving money and improving indoor and outdoor air quality. Click here to view a video comparing old wood stove technology with new technology devices.

Who Qualifies?

There are two main criteria to qualify:

You must be a homeowner living in the Spokane County Smoke Control Zone; and
You must regularly use an old, non-certified wood stove or fireplace insert to heat your home during winter. Don't know if your device is certified or not? Click here.

Fireplaces, including zero clearance fireplaces with glass doors & blowers do not qualify for this program. Pellet stoves also do not qualify for this program.

If you believe you meet these two critieria, the next step is to apply for a rebate voucher. The application form must be completed, signed and mailed to Spokane Clean Air. Applications will be accepted during an initial sign-up period, January 2 - February 29, 2008. If funds are left over, a second application period will be scheduled.

After reviewing your application, if it is determined that you qualify, Spokane Clean Air will send you a Rebate Voucher and a list of participating retailers who will accept the voucher. The voucher is good toward the purchase and professional installation of a new device (wood, pellet or natural gas) when your old wood stove or insert is removed by the retailer when they install your new device.

Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Rebates are not retroactive and are non-transferrable. One voucher per qualified household. Other terms and conditions apply and are listed on the back of the application form.

Who is funding this program?

Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency received a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and additional funding has been provided by Avista and Northwest Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association. Support has also come from area retailers and manufacturers.

Participating Retailers

If you'd rather pick up an application form, you may do so at any of these 13 participating retail locations, listed below, or at Spokane Clean Air's office, 1101 W. College, Suite 403.

Applications must be submitted to Spokane Clean Air for approval. Once approved (allow 2-4 weeks to process) a Rebate Voucher is sent with a list of these participating retailers and any additional discounts/rebates they'll provide.

You choose which retailer, from the list below, that you want to purchase a device from and schedule installation. At the time of installation, the retailer will remove your old wood stove or insert and will take it to a recycling center for destruction. If the device has already been removed, or you refuse to relinquish it to the retailer at the time of installation of the new device, you will be disqualified from the program
