As we wait for the fall to arrive, there are some asking "is New York State going to ban Fireplaces and wood stoves this year"?

The summer heat is still pressing on and the New York State Fair is about to begin. However, the cooler air is coming and many homeowners believe the most affordable way to heat their home is with firewood.

Are the days of having your home heated with a wood furnace going away in New York State? There's a pending law in New York that will begin to change how buildings and homes in New York are heated in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. 

This bill known as the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act was signed in 2019 and will start to have a big impact in 2022.

Sections 2 and 3 of the bill would modify the Environmental Conservation Law to establish the New York state climate action council, and green-house gas emissions limits and reporting requirements, and provisions to address potential impacts on disadvantaged communities.

According to the bill, this portion of the law will go into effect as of October.

The bill would take effect on the same date as a chapter of the law of 2019 relating to a permanent environmental justice advisory group as proposed except that the community air monitoring program required by section 2 of the act shall take effect on October 1, 2022.

Similar to the reasons there won't be any gas ATV's available in New York State, this new law aims to end the damage to the environment that is caused by outdoor boilers/wood-burning furnaces.

New York City is set to ban gas hookups in new buildings, effectively requiring all-electric heating and cooking. The move could influence how cities around the world seek to reduce the burning of fossil fuels. https://t.co/E6EtznjOl6
