Residents of Boyle Heights area, Chino/Ontario/Corona area, City of San Bernardino area, City of Riverside area, and Norco/Corona area may be eligible to receive a voucher for replacing their old wood stove with an efficient heat source.
About the Award:
In the process of reducing emissions from wood-burning devices, South Coast AQMD is offering an incentive for residents, renters (with landlord approval), or landlords of a rental property in the areas surrounding cities of Riverside and San Bernardino or the community of Boyle Heights to replace their wood-burning device. If you are a resident of one of these areas you may be eligible to receive funds for an installation of a cleaner-burning alternative. This program is open to residents of specific zip codes within these areas, viewable within this pdf. Residents are eligible to replace their old wood stove with one of these efficient options: Gas Logs, Gas or Electric Fireplace/Stove/Insert, Certified Wood Stove/Insert (replacing non-certified stove or open fireplace), Alcohol Fueled Fireplace Insert, or an EPA Qualified Fireplace Retrofit Kit.
