Heat stoves must have a thermal efficiency of 75%, as measured using a lower heating value, and be used to heat a dwelling unit or heat water for use in the same. The law defines biomass fuel as anything from agricultural crops, trees, wood wastes & residues to pellets, plants, grasses and fibers.
While the new tax credit is in effect for all of 2009 and 2010, the IRS has not issued the guidelines for determining which stoves meet the efficiency requirements to qualify for the credit or how a manufacturer will qualify their products.
These guidelines are expected by the later part of 2009; however, the credit applies to all qualifying stoves sold in 2009. As the IRS firms up the guidelines, stove manufacturers and dealers will be better able to make recommendations on products that are certified to be 75% efficient.
For more information about this new credit, check out the Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP). This organization has a lot of information on not only tax incentives for biomass heating equipment, but several other energy efficient heating components.

- The first pellet stove we bought was a Harmen Insert that works GREAT. The second pellet stove we bought was a Quadra-fire Mt Vernon insert (Bad Move). We have had nothing but problems with the Quadra-fire since the 1st month after Ace Hardware installed it. this has got to be the worst investment that I have ever made. The Auger jams every day. I was told that the pellets that we use may have ...
