Is there a rebate/incentive for wood burning fireplace inserts? I thought I saw a commercial.
No, but there may be a federal tax credit available.
There are no Cash-Back Rewards offered through Focus on Energy for wood burning fireplace inserts. There is, however, a federal tax credit available for certain wood-burning fireplaces (also known as biomass fuel stoves). The government Web site does not specifically state whether or not fireplace inserts qualifies for the credit. The ENERGY STAR Web site has a Q&A page that provides pertinent information regarding biomass fuel stoves.
To learn the details regarding federal tax credits, I would suggest visiting the ENERGY STAR (R) Web site or the Tax Incentives Assistant Project Web site. These Web sites have information that consumers and businesses need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies.
