This month I purchased a new unvented fireplace burner to heat the first floor of my home. Does this unvented fireplace (that puts out 32k BTUs) count as a qualified energy property cost for tax purposes? The closest option on TurboTax seems to be "Furnaces or hot water boilers", but it doesn't go into detail on what counts as a furnace.

To qualify as qualified energy property the item must the highest tier for Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE). You can search for your product at Energy Star.

Per the IRS guidelines, make sure you are installing the following qualified energy property:

Central air conditioners
Natural gas, propane or oil water heaters
Natural gas, propane or oil furnaces
Hot water boilers
