B.C. Air Quality

Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program

SuperStove cartoon heroThe provincial wood stove exchange is a program designed to encourage British Columbians to change out their older, smoky wood stoves for low-emission appliances including new CSA-/EPA-certified clean-burning wood stoves.

The key messages of this program are:

  • Government is taking a proactive approach to improving air quality and fuel efficiency.
  • Individual action addresses a collective problem, and government is helping to facilitate that action.
  • Old appliance changeout is one aspect of this new provincial program; Burn It Smart workshops are essential, since even newer wood stoves must be operated properly to realize the improved efficiency.
