Wood Stove Replacement & Recycling Award Grants
Through a grant provided by the Washington Department of Ecology, ORCAA offers financial aid programs to residents who burn at least 1 cord of wood per year and want to remove their old, uncertified wood stove. The applicants must remove and destroy one or more of the following:
- a wood stove that is NOT compliant with 2020 New Source Performance Standards
- a fireplace insert that is NOT compliant with 2020 New Source Performance Standards
The wood stove replacement program requires professional installation of new devices, and ORCAA’s retailer partners handle the paperwork and billing. Program participation is limited to available funds.
NOTE: Some utility companies offer rebates or programs for weatherization and heating. Contact your local utility company for more information.
Wood Stove Replacement Program
This Wood Stove Replacement Incentive is available for residents of Thurston and Mason Counties as well as the eastern, more densely populated, areas of Clallam and Jefferson Counties (that is, area east of the Elwha River in Clallam County, and east of Olympic National Park in Jefferson County). The funding is provided by the Washington Department of Ecology through a Wood Smoke Reduction Grant, made available to reduce woodsmoke pollution in the parts of the state most at risk of exceeding health standards as a result of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution created by wood burning. Residents of qualifying locations who burn at least 1 cord of wood per year must remove and destroy one or more of the following:
- a wood stove that is NOT compliant with 2020 New Source Performance Standards
- a fireplace insert that is NOT compliant with 2020 New Source Performance Standards
Residents who qualify for the above — who, again, burn at least 1 cord of wood per year — and who are installing a new gas or electric appliance may qualify. The program requires professional installation of new devices, and ORCAA’s retailer partners handle the paperwork and billing. Program participation is limited to available funds.
Contact your local hearth products dealer, or HVAC dealer, for more details. The current rate of support for changing out a qualified wood stove to Natural Gas, Propane, electric ‘fire’ place, or pellet stove is $1,000, and $2,000 for changing to an electric Heat Pump – Ductless or Ducted.
NOTE: Residents who meet the same requirements listed above, but who simply want to remove and destroy an old, uncertified wood appliance without installing a new qualified appliance may apply for a Wood Stove Recycling Award. Find those details below.
