25 Years of Changeout Programs John Crouch Director of Public Affairs Hearth, Patio & Barbeque Association December 1, 2016 Albany, N. Y.
HPBA’s Experience • Primarily Western – NAA - Deadline Focus • Primarily Stoves/Inserts • Both Rural & Suburban – Wood vs. Gas • “Whole Town Changeouts” – Captures all the low income HH’s • Wide range-Climate & Populations – >4 K – over 4 Million
3 Reasons for Changeout Programs 1. Bring Emission Reductions Forward Woodstoves last a long time 2. Create Opportunity for Fuel Switch 30 -50% go to Gas or Propane 3. Teachable Moment Best Operation Dry Wood Stove Fair
3 Challenges • Maximize the Public Resources – Max the # of units? (vouchers? ) – Max the # amount of Wood? • Reach low income/non-English – Marginal HH’s – Spanish, other languages • DIY’s, & Proper Installation – Especially Wood – Good (as in Tall) Chimney’s
Changeout Issues • Tension between replacing the most stoves, and decreasing smoke • Where to set the incentive levels?
Low Income Families-Need Wood Heat

Not All Woodstoves • South Coast AQMD – Gas Logs/ Gas Inserts • San Joaquin Valley AQMD – 1800 Changeouts (March 2016) – 1300+ to NG or LP • Can Include Repair/Cat replacement • GHG changeouts – Wood to Wood – Reduces Black Carbon & Methane
Changeout Fundamentals 1. Fuel neutral: wood, pellet, or gas – anything is better! 2. No fuel bias: let the consumer decide 3. Careful installation: NFI 4. Education benefit: leverage 5. Old stove must be destroyed 6. Venting – Don’t Assume 7. Local Champion- Key 8. Government incentives critical to “harvest the old stoves”

Some Lessons Learned • Operators – Not Numbers • Stove Fair - Burn Smart Fair • Local Coordinator follow up & intervene to re-teach • Hammer away at Wood Moisture • Emphasis on tall Chimneys • Do Not – worry about stoves g/h
Summary • Changeouts can work, – Change appliances, and help change wood burning culture – Not a panacea • Local Champions/Flexible Programs • Grams/H are ONLY an indicator, – Laboratory numbers only – Operators are the real key
