The Environmental Protection Agency has multiple certification programs to help consumers find the most energy- and water-efficient products in the marketplace. A new program called the Wood Heater Certification Program was originally designed to help reduce air pollution when it comes to burning firewood by highlighting the cleanest-burning wood stoves. But these certified wood stoves have also been found to be more efficient in generating actual heat when used, too. So when shopping for a new wood stove, look for the EPA-certified ones for the cleanest and most efficient models.
