I don’t know what WETT certification really is but apparently more and more home insurance agencies require wood stoves to have it.
My snag currently with getting house insurance on my new home is that, despite the wood stove having an approved mechanical inspection but the City of Yellowknife, it does not say that the inspector was WETT certified.
This is what the insurance company needs, something that verifies it was WETT certified.
So I’m jumping through hoops with my closing date getting nearer and nearer and I’m hoping to say you some trouble.
I’m not saying to make sure your wood stove is WETT certified, I’m saying make sure you ask your insurance company if they require it or not.
Are you sure they are not saying you need a home inspection by a home inspector that is WETT certified? That’s what I had. I also use only a wood burning stove to heat my cabin. The inspector actually told me about stove top fans. I added one of those, and it does not effect the outcome of the certification and couldn’t find too many places to find info about them til I found and picked one off of http://stovefanreviews.com I also picked
up an ash vacuum at http://ashvacuumreview.com The combination of the fan to dissipate the heat and the vacuum to keep things
burning efficiently is my sole method of heating my place in the mountains.
