Certification may be earned by hearth industry professionals in three hearth specialties: NFI Gas Specialist, NFI Wood burning Specialist and NFI Pellet Specialist. Certification is renewed every three years. NFI Certified Specialists have a dated certificate, wallet card, and are listed on the NFI Certified Internet list.
