The Fall voucher season is now closed to all areas of the county except within the city limits of Colfax and Martis Valley.

If you submit an application and you chose to be placed on the waiting list, please know that vouchers will not be issued to applicants who purchase their new appliance prior to receiving a voucher. If you have any questions, please read the program Handbook linked below or call (530) 745-2316. Thank you.

The goal of the Burn Bright Burn Right Wood Stove Replacement Program is to encourage owners of residential and commercial property countywide to replace non-EPA certified wood burning appliances with newer and cleaner burning EPA Phase II certified wood burning appliances, gas appliances, or pellet stoves. Replacing non-certified wood burning appliances with an EPA Phase II certified stove/insert, pellet stove, or gas stove helps to reduce particulate matter in the air and helps the District maintain compliance with state and federal air quality standards for PM (particulate matter).
Rebate Amounts (subject to change): As an incentive to replace existing non-certified wood stoves or open hearth fireplaces, the District is offering up to:
· $750 for Placer County property owners, or
· $1500 for property owners at or below 60% of the Placer County median income
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR VOUCHER BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW HEATING APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE FUNDED BY THIS PROGRAM. NO EXCEPTIONS.
