Grants for homeowners to replace wood-burning heaters with electric heat pumps.
The Clean HEET Program was developed by the Air District to reduce wintertime wood smoke pollution and improve air quality by incentivizing Bay Area homeowners to replace their existing, operational, freestanding wood stoves or wood-burning fireplace inserts with electric heat pumps.
Up to $2 million in funding is available for the Clean HEET Program. Individual awards range from $3,000 - $10,500 for one stove/insert and $6,000 - $13,500 for two stoves/inserts.
All Bay Area homeowners are eligible to apply. Projects located in areas most impacted by air pollution will be prioritized first due to limited funding. Homeowners in West Oakland, East Oakland, Richmond-San Pablo, and Bayview Hunters Point/Southeast San Francisco are especially encouraged to apply.
The program does not provide reimbursement for work already performed.
