MONTPELIER-The Clean Energy Development Fund (CEDF) at the Vermont Public Service Department announces a new program to help low- and moderate-income households in Windham County convert to wood pellet heating or to change out their old wood stove to a new, more efficient model.
With these new incentives, an income-qualified Windham County homeowner can receive $800 for cord wood stoves, $1,200 for wood-pellet stoves, and $15,000 for low income households and $12,000 for moderate income households to install a central pellet boiler or furnace.
A total of $208,095 is available for incentives from the CEDF. In addition, homeowners can receive incentives available to all homeowners statewide from Efficiency Vermont for pellet boilers or furnaces ($6,000) and wood or pellet stoves ($400). Visit efficiencyvermont.com/income-limit for more details.
The program is designed to offer assistance for income-eligible customers looking to replace their inefficient stove or to install an efficient cord wood or pellet stove or pellet boiler. This is part of the CEDF's continued effort to transform the state's heating sector to be cleaner and supportive of Vermont's local economy.
These wood heating incentives are only available for residential installations in Windham County. For more details, go to bit.ly/833-heat.
