Sales/certification & installation
Sales/certification requirements: All wood heating appliances sold in Washington must be certified to meet Washington State emission limits:
- 4.5 grams of particles per hour for non-catalytic models
- 2.5 grams per hour for catalytic models.
Installation: It is illegal to install a wood heating appliance or factory-built fireplace that is not certified to meet Washington State air emission standards.
Your stove is certified if it has a plate with a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency label. Look for the EPA plate on the back or side of the stove or visit a hearth specialty retailer for more information. View detail.
Uncertified stoves produce five times or more pollution than certified models. An uncertified stove uses about a third more wood and will deposit more creosote in your chimney.
Buying a certified wood heating appliance: If you are considering a wood stove or fireplace insert for your home, or upgrading your old wood stove with something that heats cleaner and more efficiently, take a few minutes to determine which device is best for you by watching this 4 1/2 minute DVD: "A Quick Guide on how to Buy a Wood Stove for Home Heating".
