WETT Inspection

If your home features a wood-burning fireplace, stove, or insert — or if you’re considering buying a home that does — there’s one essential safety check you shouldn’t overlook: a WETT inspection. Short for Wood Energy Technical Training.

 

A WETT inspection is a certified evaluation of your wood-burning appliance and its installation to ensure it meets national safety standards. It’s not just a formality — it’s your best defense against fire hazards, insurance issues, and costly repairs down the road.

 

What Is a WETT Inspection? A WETT inspection is performed by a certified WETT inspector — a professional trained to evaluate the safety, condition, and compliance of wood-burning systems, including:

- Wood stoves (free-standing or insert)

- Fireplaces (masonry or factory-built)

- Chimneys and flues -

Venting systems

- Hearth pads and clearances.

 

The inspector checks for proper installation, structural integrity, ventilation, and compliance with the National Fire Code and CSA standards.

 

The goal? To ensure your system operates safely — and that you’re protected in case of a claim or sale.
