Why Get an inspection by a WETT certified technician?
- To have the full assurance that your wood-burning appliance is installed in accordance with building and fire code requirements. Safety is paramount, and wood-burning appliances are manufactured to work safely and efficiently when they are installed, used and maintained properly.
- To satisfy the requirements of the insurance company.
- Having a WETT inspection done before listing a home alerts the homeowner of any potential repairs that may require attention.
- Making any repairs ahead of listing a home avoids having these issues become stumbling blocks when a purchaser submits an offer.
