Description
The St. Maries Woodstove Changeout Program, administered by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), provides rebates to homeowners in the St. Maries area who replace old, inefficient woodstoves with new, EPA-certified wood, pellet, gas, or electric heating appliances. The program aims to reduce air pollution and improve energy efficiency by encouraging the use of modern, cleaner-burning heating devices. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority for low-income households. All installations must be performed by DEQ-approved vendors, and old stoves must be properly recycled.
