Step 2 - Contact Us
Contact Sebco Gas to seek advice on the type of low-emission heating appliance to purchase. Upon purchase of your new appliance you will be given a rebate voucher. This form will need to be signed by us at the time of sale and installation, and by the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange staff or RDN landfill or transfer station staff when the old unit is sent in for recycling. Be aware that most insurance companies require notification if you are installing a new heating appliance. The value of the rebates cannot exceed the value of the appliance.
Visit the Regional District of Nanaimo for information on a program in your area.
Step 3 - Disposal
Your old stove must be taken to one of the authorized disposal locations to be recycled (whether by you or the installer). Upon disposal, your voucher will be signed OR you will be given a receipt, which will provide proof of destruction. This receipt should be attached to your signed rebate voucher.
Step 4 - Form Drop Off
Drop off your completed rebate form and the before and after images of the woodstove to the front counter at 411 Dunsmuir Street
