Frequently Asked Questions
They're commonly required for insurance policies, home purchases, new installations, or whenever concerns exist about a wood-burning system.
No. WETT certifies individual inspectors, not fireplaces or installations. After your inspection, you'll receive a professional inspection report completed by a WETT-certified inspector.
We'll clearly explain any deficiencies and recommend the next steps. Because Nordic Energy also installs and repairs wood-burning systems, we can help bring your installation into compliance if required.
An inspection report reflects the condition of the system on the day it was inspected. Any future changes to the appliance or venting system may affect its validity.
