Biomass Stove Tax Credit

Information from the HPBA and IRS

The tax credit for biomass heating appliances is available for installations through to Dec 31, 2024.
Applicable systems, whether they are stoves purchased to heat space or larger, whole-home heating systems, will now qualify for a renewable energy investment tax credit (Section 25(C) of the Internal Revenue Code). Beginning in 2023, consumers buying highly efficient wood or pellet stoves will be able to claim a 30% tax credit, capped at $2,000 annually. The credit is for appliances installed between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024. To be eligible for this credit, the appliance must have a thermal efficiency of at least 75% (HHV).
Please be aware that in 2025 the ongoing program was determined to end early, on Dec 31st, 2025. Additionally, a change in claim procedure was implemented which would require a PIN or QM Code in order to claim credit through the IRS for appliances installed on or after Jan 1st 2025.
We regret that these codes are not available; please be sure to always consult your tax advisor or local agencies to verify any credit availability.
