SWCAA is offering grants of $500 to $8000 to help remove or replace old wood stoves, or to retrofit masonry fireplaces, within the agency’s jurisdiction. SWCAA will pay $500 to homeowners in the area who remove old wood stoves for the purpose of permanently removing them from service. Additionally, if you use an old wood stove for heating purposes and replace it with a device/system that uses a cleaner fuel, SWCAA will provide up to $8000 in grant money.

(includes wood-fired furnace and wood-fired hydronic heater replacement
Wood Stove Buybacks are for homeowners that have an old (pre-2005) or uncertified wood stove (or wood-fired furnace or hydronic heater) installed in their home. If they are willing to remove it and deliver it to a metal recycling facility to be destroyed, they can participate. Participants in this program option receive a payment for surrendering the old device.
