There are many reasons to replace your old wood stove with a cleaner heat source. Some of them include:

• Save time and money: Switching to another heat source will save you the time and money you spent on buying, splitting and stacking firewood. Participating in this program gives you a rebate of $1,500-$3,500. Depending on what you replace your stove with, that may cover most of the costs associated with the replacement.
• Stay warmer: Old wood stoves are inefficient and do not produce enough heat. Replacing your old stove can keep you warmer in the winter.
• Improve health: Exposure to wood smoke has been linked to short and long-term health issues such as asthma attacks, reduced lung functions and increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
• Increase safety: Many old wood stoves pose serious fire risks. Getting rid of your old wood stove can protect the safety of your family and your home.
• Promote community health: Old wood stoves are a major source of air pollution in Washington County. Replacing these stoves promotes community health and livability.
