Truckee offering rebates for wood stoves

Truckee residents may receive a rebate for the removal of non-compliant solid fuel burning devices, including wood stoves and fireplace inserts.

The Truckee Town Council reinstated the program this summer. The council had previously allocated $64,000 as part of the 2016-17 budget cycle from the town’s air quality mitigation fund for the program.

The available rebates will be $600 for replacement of a non-compliant solid fuel burning device with a Phase II EPA Certified wood stove or pellet stove, or $1,000 for replacement of a non-compliant solid fuel burning device with natural gas service, for a maximum of $1,600 per residential unit.

Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will expire once the funds have been exhausted.
