Here's a Last Minute Gift Idea

The following information was written by David Danelski and published in the Sun newspaper on Tuesday, December 20, 2011.


If you have ever wanted a gas log in your fireplace, now is the time to make the switch. The South Coast Air Quality Management District has made $500,000 available on a first come, first served basis for fireplace inserts.


According to the agency, 1.2 million households in the South Coast Air Basin have wood burning fireplaces or wood stoves that can emit five tons of fine particle pollution per day, roughly four times the fine particle pollution produced by the region's power plants in the same period.


The agency is offering residents up to $200 to offset the expense of purchasing and installing natural gas fireplace logs. They estimate purchase and installation to be about $500.\People living in Orange County and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties below 3,000 feet in elevation are eligible for the subsides.


The gas logs must be purchased from participating retailers. To find a participating retailer and confirm eligible zip codes, you can visit http://www.healthyhearths.org/ and click on Gas Log Incentives or call 800-288-7664.
