The thermal efficiency rating of the HELIOS has been determined to be greater than 75%. Both the purchase of the HELIOS modular unit and its installation qualify for the tax credit through 2010.
Under the 2009 Economic Stimulus legislation, U.S. homeowners who purchase a 75-percent efficient biomass (wood or pellet) burning stove, fireplace or fireplace insert and place it into service in their home during 2009 or 2010 can receive a 30-percent tax credit for costs incurred, up to $1,500.
