Many folks use fossil-fuel burning boilers as their home’s central heating system. Now, Maine Energy Systems and its Austrian partner ÖkoFEN are bringing efficient, clean, and renewable wood pellet boiler options to interested residential customers.

Homeowners who install modern wood heating systems can now get a new tax credit, under the federal omnibus bill passed late last year.
New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation supported the measure, which the state’s timber industry has wanted for years.
The credit applies to home heating systems such as stoves and boilers that run on cordwood, wood chips or wood pellets, with a federal rating of at least 75% efficiency.
These systems can cost thousands - or tens of thousands - of dollars up front, but are cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels over time.
With the new credit, homeowners who install one of these systems can take 26% of the installation cost off their tax liability for 2021. The credit steps down to 22% in 2022 and 2023.
