Oregon's Heat Smart Program – Required Removal of Uncertified Woodstove Upon Home Sale
Selling a house with a woodstove?
If you are selling or purchasing a home with a woodstove or fireplace insert you must ensure the woodstove is certified prior to sale of the home. If it is not certified, the stove must be removed, decommissioned and reported to DEQ.
Examples of Certification Labels
Either an Oregon DEQ or a U.S. EPA certification label on the stove means the stove is emissions certified. A UL safety certification label does not mean the stove is certified.
What devices are not required to be removed?
- Fireplaces
- Pellet stoves
- Antique stoves
- Cook stoves
- Masonry heaters
- Central wood-fired furnaces
