Yes, the Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid is on the EPA's current list of certified wood heaters (certification number 331-22) and meets the 2020 NSPS Step 2 emission limits.
What is the Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid's emission rate?
The Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid is certified at 1.2 grams of particulates per hour (tested with crib wood). Real-world emissions depend heavily on fuel moisture and operation — the lab figure assumes seasoned fuel and correct air settings.
How many square feet can the Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid heat?
Roughly 1,100–1,500 sq ft, estimated from its 38,005 BTU/h peak output at 25–35 BTU/h per square foot. Insulation, climate, ceiling height, and floor plan move this figure substantially in both directions.
Does the Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid 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 Travis Industries 42 Apex NexGen-Hybrid's certified efficiency is 77% HHV, which met 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.
