Induction Cooktop Loaner Program

The Town’s Climate Action Committee has set up a portable induction cooktop loaner program to loan a single burner induction cooktop for up to two weeks to any Fairfax resident.  

Induction stoves and cooktops are safe, sustainable, and efficient electric appliances that generate electricity from an electric magnetic field, which then directly heats the bottom of your pan.  

To try one out yourself, contact Neil Kraus at nkrausdc@sbcglobal.net and mention “induction cooktop” in the subject line of the email to be added to the waitlist. 

Ongoing Climate Action programs

• Landscape and Equipment Trade-in Rebate Program.
• Sign up to get a free assessment of your hot water heater as part of a new Fairfax and San Anselmo pilot program with Ready-Set-Replace. 

Summer camps are filling up, but there a few spots left in our sports camps:
