This program provides an incentive voucher to replace a pre-1992 or homemade non-EPA certified wood-burning stove or fireplace that is used as a primary source of heat with either an EPA-certified wood stove or insert, pellet stove or insert, natural gas, propane, or electric heating device. Vouchers of $1500 are available to all Lassen County residents with qualifying devices, who have not received a wood stove replacement grant within the last 5 years. For low-income residents enhanced vouchers of $3000 are available.

One of South Coast AQMD’s roles is to encourage the immediate use of commercially available, low, near-zero and zero emissions mobile and stationary technologies.  A variety of financial incentives, which include grants for incremental funding, subsidies or vouchers, are designed to promote voluntary introduction of new technologies on an accelerated schedule.  These incentives also provide manufacturers with justification to gear up for mass production of cleaner technologies.
