Wood and pellet stove incentives in Massachusetts (2026)
The federal 25C tax credit for biomass stoves ended for appliances placed in service after December 31, 2025 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Pub. L. 119-21 §70505, amending IRC §25C). No federal credit applies to a 2026 installation. The table below covers Massachusetts state, utility, and local programs only.
We could not verify Massachusetts's incentive programs. The agency pages we check for Massachusetts blocked our automated review, so we cannot tell you whether a state, utility, or local program currently applies to wood and pellet heating appliances. This is not a finding that no programs exist. Please check your state energy office or air-quality agency directly, and ask your electric or gas utility.

What we could not check in Massachusetts
Some Massachusetts sources could not be reached during our review. We list what we tried and what happened, so you can judge the gap yourself rather than read an empty table as an answer.

State and utility sources —
HIGHEST-PRIORITY UNRESOLVED GAP. mass.gov returns HTTP 403 on every path including the root domain, blocking verification entirely; the session's WebSearch budget was also exhausted. MassCEC's own program page was checked and lists no biomass/wood/pellet program, but MA is among the likeliest states to have a real program. Recorded as an access gap, NOT as a confirmed absence — must be closed with an interactive browser before any MA page publishes.
