What is a WETT Inspection?
A WETT inspection stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer Inspection. A WETT inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by certified professionals, to ensure your wood-burning appliance is safe and meets specific regulations. Overall, a WETT inspection is a crucial safety measure for anyone who uses a wood-burning appliance like a fireplace, wood stove, or pellet stove. It promotes safe operation, efficient use of firewood, and peace of mind when enjoying the warmth and ambiance of a wood fire.
