Eligibility is based on two primary factors:

1. Wood stove: To be eligible for the wood stove exchange program, you must currently rely on an old or uncertified freestanding wood stove or wood stove insert as an essential heat source during the winter months to stay warm. This guide can help you determine if your stove qualifies.
   
2. Income: To qualify for a full-cost replacement, your household income must be at or below 80% of the region's median family income. If your household is above that threshold, you will still qualify for a replacement rebate between $1,500 and $3,500. Review this chart to determine the amount you qualify for.
