Frequently asked questions
Is the Travis Industries Answer NexGen Hybrid EPA certified?
The Travis Industries Answer NexGen Hybrid holds EPA certification number 306-22a 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 Travis Industries Answer NexGen Hybrid's emission rate?
The Travis Industries Answer NexGen Hybrid is certified at 1.3 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 Answer NexGen Hybrid heat?
Roughly 850–1,150 sq ft, estimated from its 28,961 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 Answer 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 Answer NexGen Hybrid's certified efficiency is 76% 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.
