Frequently asked questions
Is the Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL EPA certified?
Yes, the Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL is on the EPA's current list of certified wood heaters (certification number 143-18) and meets the 2020 NSPS Step 2 emission limits.
What is the Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL's emission rate?
The Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL is certified at 1.7 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 Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL heat?
Roughly 1,150–1,600 sq ft, estimated from its 39,447 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 Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL 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 Innovative Hearth Products S160AGL's certified efficiency is 69% 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.
