Does the fire department inspect wood stove or fireplace installations?
No; the fire department does not inspect solid fuel heating appliances such as wood stoves and fireplaces. Homeowners are advised to contact their home insurance providers before installing any wood-burning appliance as their policy will likely be affected. Also, it is recommended that wood stoves and fireplaces be checked regularly by a certified inspector. For further information regarding the installation and inspection of wood-burning appliances, contact Wood Energy Technology Transfer Inc. toll-free at 1-888-358-9388, or visit their website where you can search for the names of local WETT-certified inspectors and installers: www.wettinc.ca Return to List of Questions.
