US Biomass Tax Credit
The US government has re-instated a renewable energy incentive designed to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and increase clean, efficient home heating with wood and pellet fuels. The US Biomass Tax credit allows for a 10% consumer tax credit up to $300 for eligible stoves bought in 2013 and it is retroactive, so that qualifying stoves purchased in 2012 can also get the credit. In addition to the purchase price, consumers can include the cost of professional installation. The Biomass Credit expred at the end of 2011 and H.R. 8 has now extended it through December 31, 2013.
