🌲WA State Biomass Tax Credit

This credit ends December 31st,
2025. That’s not a suggestion—it’s the law.

🔥 Don’t let winter sneak up without putting money back in your pocket.
 

Washington’s Biomass Tax Credit is in full swing—but it ends December 31st, 2025. That means Kitsap and Mason County homeowners like you have just a few months left to upgrade your stove or fireplace and grab serious savings.

What Qualifies for the Tax Credit?

Not every stove makes the cut. To qualify, your stove must:

  • Be an EPA-Certified Stove with at least 75% HHV efficiency

  • Be listed in the EPA Wood Heater Database [Click Here]

  • Be installed in your primary residence (sorry, vacation cabins don’t count)

 🏡 Here in Kitsap County, that means if you’re looking at wood or pellet stoves from trusted brands like Lopi, Hearthstone, or Morso (yes, the ones I sell and know like the back of my hand), you’re in the right lane.

🛠️ Can I Install It Myself?

Here’s where it gets interesting:

  • Yes, you can install it yourself. You can claim the cost of the stove and materials (chimney pipe, hearth pad, etc.).

  • But — you cannot claim your own labor. Only professional installation labor qualifies toward the tax credit.

👉 Pro tip from me: a professional installation may actually increase your eligible credit because those labor costs count. Plus, you’ll sleep better knowing everything is sealed, vented, and working safely.

 

📋 What You’ll Need to Claim the Credit

When tax time rolls around, make sure you’re ready with:
  • IRS Form 5695 (this is the Residential Energy Credits form you’ll attach to your return)

  • Receipts for your stove and all materials

  • Manufacturer’s Certification Statement (the golden ticket proving your stove qualifies)

  • Product Identification Number (PIN) — required starting in 2025, so don’t skip it

  • Documents You Should Keep on File

    Don’t toss this stuff in the junk drawer. You’ll want a clean folder (digital or paper) with:

      • The receipts

      • Your certification statement

      • Photos of your stove installation (helpful for backup proof)

      • A copy of your completed Form 5695

    Think of it like your “tax credit survival kit.” If the IRS ever has questions, you’re ready.

    💡 Why the Urgency?

    Because after December 31, 2025, this deal is gone. Permanently. If you live in Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Bainbridge, or anywhere else in Kitsap County, you don’t want to look back in January wishing you had pulled the trigger.

    We’re your Kitsap neighbors. No gimmicks, no spam, just straight talk and cozy homes.

    This credit ends December 31st, 2025. That’s not a suggestion—it’s the law.
