Old wood stoves
are a problem

They are inefficient, waste fuel, create dust in your home and can contribute to unhealthy indoor air because of excessive wood smoke.  These old stoves also pollute the outdoor air in residential neighborhoods creating a community health issue.  But there is a solution.  You can replace your old wood stove with new technology and receive many benefits, including cleaner air.

Receive up to $2,500 for your old wood stove!

This winter, in order to improve air quality in specific areas, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is offering financial incentives to help you replace your old wood stove or fireplace insert if you live in designated areas.  Coupons for discounts on new devices are being offered to residents within the City of Marysville and within the Tacoma / Pierce County community at-large, because these two areas are at risk of violating federal air pollution standards.  The goal of these incentives is to help reduce residential wood smoke by replacing old wood stoves and inserts with cleaner-burning, more-efficient home heating options: freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, central furnaces and heat pumps.

If you have a wood-burning stove or fireplace insert that qualifies (with a plate that reads 1994 or older or has no plate), you can receive a coupon for $200 to $750 off the price of a new heating device.  One condition of the coupon is that you must surrender your old wood burning stove or insert for recycling when you make the new purchase.  The coupon is good towards the purchase of a new device.  Higher discounts, up to $2,500 for specific heating devices, are available to income-qualified applicants in the Tacoma area.  Additional incentives from local utilities are also available for some new heating devices, and financing may be available through select partners.
