District Approved Devices

The following woodburning devices are approved for use in new and remodel residential construction:

  1. All EPA-Certified Phase II wood burning devices. Nearly all new freestanding woodstoves and fireplace inserts on the market are EPA-Certified Phase II devices. Freestanding woodstoves have a certification tag permanently affixed to the back of the unit. Fireplace inserts have a permanently affixed tag generally located on the lower front of the unit.
  2. All pellet-fueled woodheaters, as defined in Rule 504.
  3. All dedicated gas-fired fireplaces, as defined in Rule 504.
  4. Zero clearance fireplaces that are not EPA-certified, but can document the ability to meet the EPA-Phase II emission limits according to the procedures defined in Rule 504.
  5. Devices approved as clean-burn by other air quality agencies that have been reviewed and verified by the APCD.

It is important to note that the above list does not include all APCD-approved devices; it applies only to those devices which are not EPA-certified, but are still approved for use by the APCD. There are several woodburning devices on the market that are sold as zero-clearance fireplaces and are EPA-certified, and therefore acceptable for installation. If you have a question about a fireplace not specifically identified above, check to see if it has an EPA certification tag. If it does, then it automatically qualifies as an APCD-approved device. If there is no EPA certification tag, and the device is not listed above, then it most likely is not approved for installation.

The District will periodically update and redistribute this list as new appliances are developed that meet the emissions standards of the rule.
