Apply to Become a Participating Retailer
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is seeking applications from interested hearth retailers located in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) that wish to participate in the Fireplace & Woodstove Change-Out Program as a contracted retailer. Contracted retailers assist this voucher program by selling eligible new and cleaner-burning devices to San Joaquin Valley residents.
Residential Wood Smoke Reduction Program
If you purchased a new certified wood or pellet device through the Fireplace & Woodstove Change-Out Program, take advantage of more burn days by registering your device.
Participation in the program occurs in three phases:
- Voucher Application – Submit a complete application and all required documents to the District for review.
- Voucher Approved – Present your approved voucher to a participating program retailer and purchase and install your new device.
- Voucher Redemption – Redeem your voucher by submitting a complete Claim for Payment Packet to the District, and the District will reimburse you for eligible costs, up to the approved voucher amount.
Incentive
The eligible incentive amount is based on whether the residential property has access to piped natural gas and the new device type that will be purchased.
Eligibility
OPTION 1 - DEVICE ELIGIBILITY FOR FIREPLACE REPLACEMENT
The old device must be located at a residence within the District's boundaries. Applicants must submit an application and obtain an approved voucher from the District prior to purchasing the new device.
The eligibility of the new device is based on the old device type and whether the residential property has access to piped natural gas.
OPTION 2 - DEVICE ELIGIBILITY FOR FIREPLACE DECOMMISSIONING
The old device must be located at a residence within the District’s boundaries. Applicants must submit an application and obtain an approved voucher from the District prior to any decommissioning work taking place.
Fireplace decommissioning Option 2 cannot be combined with Option 1 as only one voucher may be issued per address.
