FAQs

Wood Stove Replacement Program

• What incentives does Energy Trust of Oregon offer?

  Energy Trust of Oregon offers added incentives in the form of rebates, depending on the replacement heating system you choose.  Check with your contractor or visit the Energy Trust website at www.energytrust.org for details and to see which stoves qualify.

• Why must the wood stove be disposed of at an approved site?

  It is important that older, inefficient wood stoves are not reused. Pendleton Sanitary Service (PSS) has agreed to destroy the old wood stoves that are collected and recycle them for scrap. You will receive proof when you drop your old wood stove off at PSS. Notify the drop-off site attendant that you are participating in the Wood Stove Replacement Program. Fill out pertinent information and have the attendant stamp the completed form. If the old wood stove is dropped off by the contractor, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the stamped receipt.

• Are fireplaces included?

  No, the loan applies only to the replacement of uncertified wood stoves. A common fireplace is not considered a wood stove. However, uncertified fireplace inserts can be considered as wood stoves and are eligible for the program.
