| 10% Tax Credit For Pellet Stoves |
Economic Stimulus Bill Promotes Renewable EnergyNew Legislation Increases Tax Credit for HomeownersTax Credit Frequently Asked Questions (HPBA.org) Arlington, VA – February 17, 2009: The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 signed into law today by President Obama includes a 10% tax credit (up to $1,500) for the purchase in 2011 of a 75%-efficient biomass-burning stove as measured using a lower heating value. The tax credit provisions are an extension of the tax credits for energy efficiency into 2011, BUT at lower levels. The levels revert back to those in effect in 2006 and 2007, which were 10% of the cost of the improvement, up to $500, with a $200 max for windows, and several other set maximums. Highlights:
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), in conjunction with the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI), worked to educate elected officials and their staffs on the benefits and energy efficiency of wood and pellet stoves. As the cost of heating oil and natural gas rise, this tax credit will help consumers save on energy costs. “This stimulus legislation supports renewable energy and will help consumers control their winter heating costs,” said Jack Goldman, president of HPBA. “It is a great example of how the hearth industry can work in Washington and on a grassroots level and help pass good legislation. With the long-term rise in home heating prices, this tax credit will help alleviate some of the initial cost for those consumers wanting to purchase a 75%-efficient wood or pellet stove next year.” The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), based in Arlington, VA, is the North American industry association for manufacturers, retailers, distributors, representatives, service firms and allied associates for all types of hearth, barbecue and patio appliances, fuels and accessories.
