Yolo-Solano Air Quality District Incentive Program for Upgrades to Wood Stoves/Fire Places
The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District offers an incentive program to residents that live within the District to replace their old, non-EPA certified wood stove, fireplace insert, or open-hearth fireplace with a newer, cleaner-burning device, such as an EPA-certified wood stove/insert or a natural gas, propane, or electric heating device. The goal of the program is to reduce fine particle pollution found in wood smoke. Wood smoke is not only bad for the environment but can also affect your health. It is made up of a complex mixture of gases, like carbon dioxide, methane and air toxics, and fine, microscopic particles, called PM2.5. PM2.5 is so small, it can easily bypass the human body’s natural defenses, causing short-term health effects, like coughing and sneezing, and worsening existing conditions, such as asthma and heart disease.
To participate, applicants must:
* Live within the Sacramento Federal PM2.5 Nonattainment Area (NAA) and the District boundary.* Voucher incentive available (non-low income) up to $1000.
* If applying for a low-income ($3500) voucher, you must provide proof of income (see Voucher Program Information).
* Not remove existing appliance (woodstove/fireplace) or purchase a new device prior to Voucher approval.
Residents can learn more about the program and apply by visiting the District website at www.ysaqmd.org/woodstoves.
