Top 6 Reasons to Exchange your old stove NOW

for a high efficiency unit...

1. Cash in on big $avings - $250 from the Airshed Management Society - the program continues until April 2010 or until all rebates have been used.
• $500 rebates from the Town of Smithers (for first 20)
• $300 rebates from the District of Houston (local residents only)
• $500 rebates from the Village of Telkwa (for first 6)
• $100 rebates from City of Terrace (for first 10)
• $50 rebates from the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS electoral area residents only)
• $375 through EcoAction Home Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program
• No fees from municipalities and regional districts for recycling and related building inspections

2. Help clean up the air in your neighbourhood and in your home! Emission certified stoves result in emission reductions of around 70% compared to uncertified.

3. Reduce annual fuel and firewood needs: New, high efficiency woodstoves use 1/3 less wood, saving you time and money. High efficiency appliances using other fuels such as pellets, also qualify.

4. Act on great financing options through local Credit Unions. Loans up to $5000 for program participants with low interest rates. Firewood savings will easily cover your financing costs.

5. Support community goals of cleaner air by 2010. The Town of Smithers, Village of Burns Lake, District of Houston and the City of Terrace have adopted bylaws to reduce emissions from wood burning appliances. When you burn clean, you support clean air communities and the BVLD Community Action Plan for Clean Air (adopted June 2004).

6. Protect your home and family: Clean burning stoves greatly reduce risks of chimney fire. And by burning less wood, your new high efficiency stove may qualify as a secondary heat source thereby reducing your insurance costs.
