Breathe Easier with Cleaner Outdoor Wood-Fired Heaters (PDF) (1pg, 451k, About PDF)
Below are 3 lists of cleaner burning hydronic heaters that qualify for the EPA voluntary program. The first table is for models that qualify for the Phase 2 white tag (about 90 percent cleaner than unqualified models). The second table is for models that qualify for the Phase 1 orange tag for "year round" use (about 70 percent cleaner than unqualified models). Please note that although the tag is calculated for year round use, some jurisdictions may not allow "year round" use (i.e., not during summer for just hot water rather than heat). The third table is for models that qualify for the Phase 1 orange tag for "heating season use only." These emissions are calculated as if the model is only used during the heating season. Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow models that only qualify for "heating season use only" because their emissions would be greater if they are used year round.
Please Note that some states and/or local jurisdictions do not allow models that only qualify for "Heating Season Only" use. Also, please note that all data below are according to EPA Method 28 OWHH unless otherwise noted. One manufacturer has asked to use the "cordwood exception" to use the ASTM cordwood test method in lieu of the EPA method. Labels based on the "cordwood exception" expire 12/31/08.
