Looks to me like it qualifies. The manufacturer's page for that model states the efficiency as "over 75%."

What if you bought a used one that meets their criteria?

This, from the tax code, probably says "no".

Bummer just bought a used Woodstock Fireview.

Thanks!
 
Darn, where was this a couple years ago? Oh well we did get a $300 tax credit and $300 rebate from our electric company for installing a Geospring water heater.
 
Just realized some manufacturers have certified and have certificates available for download on their websites. Blaze king and jotul both have them......looks like i am all set.......
 
Don't forget the huge tax credit if you are in Oregon!
 
What's all involved? I had a blazeking installed in july. Do I need something from the manufacturer?

You can print it out from the website.
 
I saw the certificate but is that something I just keep for my records?

Yes, the certificate is to prove that the stove is epa certified if you get audited. I believe you're looking for tax form 5695 to claim the credit.
 
I had to file early because of FAFSA... But saw this and decided to do an amended return. Hopefully the check is in the mail!!!
 
I made use of this... i had to remind my accountant about it!
 
Did my taxes last night. I use turbo tax and it was not really clear were to enter this. If you click the "learn more" tab under the home energy savings section, a pop-up comes up and it talks about EPA approved wood burning stoves.
Entered the $900 my stove and install cost...

Boom...$300 bones saved.
 
Ah I bought mine in 2014...lost out on $300 bucks!
