Frequently asked questions
Is the DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H EPA certified?
The DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H holds EPA certification number n/a but is no longer on the current certified list — it is previously certified, which usually means the model is out of production. Already-installed units are unaffected by that status in most jurisdictions.
What is the DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H's emission rate?
The DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H is certified at 2.88 grams of particulates per hour (tested with cord wood). Real-world emissions depend heavily on fuel moisture and operation — the lab figure assumes seasoned fuel and correct air settings.
Does the DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H qualify for a federal tax credit?
No — the federal 25C credit for biomass stoves was terminated for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. The DECTRA (GARN) GARN WHS-1500H's certified efficiency is 65% HHV, which did not meet the credit's ≥75% HHV threshold while it existed. State and local incentive programs may still apply — check your state energy office and air district.
