I can't seem to find anything on the PA site about it:http://www.energysavers.gov/financial/rebates/state_PA.cfm
The State of Pennsylvania will implement a mail-in rebate program to help residents replace older, inefficient appliances with new ENERGY STAR® qualified and ultra-efficient appliances.
The program is tentatively scheduled to begin in April 2010. Residents may be able to "reserve" rebates in advance; the program will end when funds are depleted.
Eligible products include
* Gas storage water heaters
* Gas tankless water heaters
* Oil furnaces
* Gas furnaces
* Oil boilers
* Gas boilers
Residents are encouraged to recycle their old appliances.
Contact:
Total Funding: $11,944,000
Program information subject to change. Rebates may be offered for a limited time only. Before purchasing a product, check with your program sponsor to ensure rebates are available, and to confirm product eligibility and program requirements. Products purchased must meet efficiency criteria as established by the state.

I would imagine because of the underfed pot design it's the only one capable of burning biomass(corn, wood pellets).KLook wrote:How can one company qualify and another not? Is EFM that much more efficient or did they take the time to get certified?

Edit: Hmmmm... I'd imagine some of the wood/coal combos might fall into that category. The Harman TLC comes to mind.

The rebate is not for a coal stoker but for bio mass. EFM just lucked out because of the design.

The EFM stokers qualify under a FEDERAL Tax Credit for energy improvements. The first post in this thread is about a PENNSYLVANIA appliance rebate program. They are two separate programs with differing rules and processes for the purchaser to obtain a benefit.Richard S. wrote:The EFM stokers qualify for rebate : The EFM 520 Stoker-Boiler Qualifies for a $1500 Tax Credit
