Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program

The Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program is designed to encourage British Columbians to change out their older, smoky wood stoves for low-emission appliances including newCSA-/EPA-certified clean-burning wood stoves.

The key goals of this program are:

• Improving community air quality by providing incentives to change out old smoky wood stoves with cleaner burning options.
• Providing education on clean burning techniques through Burn it Smart workshops, brochures, websites and social media.

Government is supporting individual action to solve a collective problem of poor air quality. Communities benefit from better air quality and participating individuals benefit from increased efficiency – saving money and reducing pollution.
