WETT stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer, the Canadian program that trains the people who inspect wood-burning systems. Ontario insurers commonly ask for a WETT inspection when you buy a house with a fireplace or stove, switch insurance companies, or install a new wood appliance, and real estate agents ask for one during a sale.
The inspector checks the appliance, the chimney or stove pipe, clearances to anything that can burn, the hearth and floor protection, and the flue, then writes up what meets the installation code and what does not. If something fails, the report says exactly what has to change, and we can quote the fix the same day.
