AMENEricV said:Another failed government program. I trusted the energy star label in replacing all my appliances and now the label is just a sticker in some cases. After 28 years of working for the government it's really no surprise. Hopefully they get it back in line so people can use that certification as a guideline in buying all sorts of home appliances and devices, not just our gassers. I recently purchased a Bosch dishwasher and it was certified, but they explained why it was a certified unit so I am confident I got an energy efficient unit.
Was hoping you would reply with where you received this info and when it took place. I do not believe you are telling the true story.Help us out.......altheating said:Econoburn Boilers did have the Energy Star Certification, buy due to a court decision, the Energy Star designation was removed after a competitor complained after they could not meet the requirements of the testing due to their inability to be tested and pass the test. A court decision was made to have the Energy Star label removed. Must be that the other company thought that Econoburn would have had an unfair sales advantage. Yup, it would have.. having the only wood boiler on the market that qualified for the Energy Star Label sure looks good on your resume! The Econoburn boiler didn't change, only the advertising literature. It still meets all the requirements for Energy Star, just can't or won't use it in the advertising.
Yes you do qualify for the tax credit . The tax credit and being Energy Star qualified is two different things. To be qualified means they could show the Energy Star logo. They did show the logo letting the consumer believe they were qualified. There are people out in the world that bought a Econoburn on this basis over lets say a BioHeat or maybe a EKO.heat4steve said:This is a little confusing. Can the $1500 credit be used or not for an econoburn? I did purchase but was informed by both econoburn and the distributor that the credit applies. Was this a lie? If so are ther any wood boilers that qualify. Thanks
Someone get him a gas-powered grinder so he get this axe-grinding done with , , ,
He is coorect I am a Econoburn dealer. Unhappy of the fact I was taken. The letter from the EPA was the proof. I will stop posting on thisWebmaster said:Dear Friends,
shagy is a commercial member who apparently sells other models and his web site dumps on his competitors.
There is more involved here than his simple question - sorry!
I am therefore closing the thread, as commercial members dumping on products is against our Forum guidelines.......
