Save Money and Breathe Easier: How to Get Up to $5,000 to Upgrade Your Fireplace!
If you’ve been dreaming of a cleaner, more efficient way to heat your home, now is the perfect time to make it happen. At Buck Stove & Spa, we are excited to announce our partnership with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) to bring the Fireplace & Woodstove Change-Out Program (also known as the “Burn Cleaner” program) directly to our Visalia neighbors.
This initiative is a win-win for our community: you get a beautiful new heating appliance for a fraction of the cost, and we all benefit from cleaner air in the San Joaquin Valley.
What is the Change-Out Program?
Buck Stove & Spa has partnered with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) to promote the Fireplace & Woodstove Change-Out Program. This initiative provides Valley residents with vouchers ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to replace high-polluting, older wood-burning devices with cleaner alternatives like EPA-certified pellet stoves, gas inserts, or electric heat pumps.
Whether you have an old open-hearth masonry fireplace or an outdated wood stove, this program is designed to help you transition to modern technology that is easier to use and much better for the environment.
Why Should You Upgrade Now?
Aside from the massive savings, there are several reasons to consider an upgrade this season:
- Slash Your Heating Bills: Modern EPA-certified wood and pellet stoves, as well as high-efficiency gas inserts, produce more heat using significantly less fuel.
- Avoid “Check Before You Burn” Hassles: Many cleaner-burning options offer greater flexibility during winter air quality curtailments.
- Professional Installation: When you work with us, you aren’t just getting a stove; you’re getting peace of mind. Our licensed experts handle the installation to ensure everything is safe and up to code.
- Extra Incentives: On top of the voucher for the unit itself, certain upgrades qualify for an additional $650 to help cover installation costs.
