As temperatures fall and thoughts turn to warding off the approaching cold weather, Americans have more incentive than ever to install a new wood or pellet-burning stove! Homeowners can save significantly thanks to a federal consumer tax credit designed to encourage energy-conscious purchases. It can cover 30 percent of the cost of clean, fuel-efficient stoves and fireplace inserts, up to a maximum credit of $1,500. The tax credit applies to stoves or fireplace inserts purchased between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010, so time is running out.
Purchasers of qualifying stoves and inserts can claim the credit on their federal tax return. These consumers should save their receipt and the manufacturer's certification that states the appliance they purchased is eligible. Installation and venting costs are included in calculating the credit's total value, as long as professional installation is required for the proper and safe operation of the stove.

Technology changes have made wood stoves more decorative and efficient than in years past. They use one-third less firewood and correct use results in cleaner indoor air quality. The bottom line: visit Survival Products today to start saving.
