Why Should You Join HPBA Pacific: Advocacy HPBA is working every day to fight for its members. There are agencies and regulations that are you know trying to shut down what we do. Tim Reed, Fireside Home Solutions Join HPBA Pacific at https://buff.ly/2MDbxaI #hpbapacific #hpba

Why Should You Join HPBA Pacific: Advocacy We're constantly informed about what’s going on in government affairs and with the EPA. It’s only HPBA that has given us that information, so I feel like I’m ahead of the game on that area. And, in fact being a part of HPBA, we understand that the HPBA is looking out for the industry and I really appreciate that being a member. It's worth its weight in gold.

Wood and Pellet Heater Investment Tax Credit. A sales opportunity!! Consumers buying highly efficient wood or pellet stoves or larger residential biomass heating systems will be eligible for 26% tax credit. New legislation was signed into law at the end of 2020 that included a tax credit for wood and pellet heaters. These systems will now qualify for a renewable energy investment tax credit (Section 25(D) of the Internal Revenue Code). The EPA site states OVERALL EFFICIENCY ...which is NOT the same number or formula as HHV which stands for High Heating Value. Therefore, the EPA site CANNOT be referenced for the purpose of choosing stoves for Biomass Tax Credit because it does not list the HHV number the Biomass Law itself states must be used. The IRS will be issuing additional guidance soon. We will let you know as soon as possible. Learn more at bit.ly/StoveTaxCredit

Forbidding natural-gas connections in new buildings ensures that more, not less, natural gas will be consumed to meet the demand for electricity. For example, natural gas is more than 90% efficient while electricity produced from natural gas is at best 60% efficient. Boiling a pot of water on an electric stove uses 150% as much natural gas as a gas stove. #HPBAPacific #naturalgas
