Vermont Castings has been known for years as the gold standard in wood stoves. No other manufacturer competes with our tradition of beauty, quality and efficiency. Built proud and strong at our foundry in Vermont, our VC and Dutchwest cast and steel wood stoves are part of the American heritage. Now you can get that time honored tradition and save money too!

Recent economic stimulus legislation has included a 30% (up to $1500) consumer tax credit on the purchase of a 75% efficient biomass burning stove. This legislation takes effect immediately and is retroactive to any eligible stove purchased since January 1, 2009. The credit is available through 2010. Tax payers should keep in mind that this is a credit, not a deduction, on their income tax returns. Therefore the entire eligible amount is credited to your tax bill.

The following Vermont Castings models are eligible for the credit:
