A Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT) inspection is a specialized assessment of wood-burning systems, including stoves, fireplaces, and chimneys, conducted by certified professionals. These professionals fall into categories like SITE® Basic Inspector, Technician, Chimney Sweep, or SITE® Comprehensive Inspector.

WETT inspections serve various purposes, such as insurance compliance, real estate transactions, and addressing system functionality concerns. It's important to note that WETT certifies individuals, not companies. Appliances or installations cannot be WETT certified. Instead, an inspection report is issued by a WETT-certified professional, specifying compliance with manufacturer's instructions and relevant codes.

Inspections are typically conducted for insurance purposes, real estate transactions, or to address concerns with the system's functionality.

No, appliances or installations cannot be WETT certified. A WETT inspection is performed by a certified professional to assess compliance with codes

and standards.

There are three levels of inspection:

Level 1: Visual Inspection (Readily Accessible)

Level 2: Technical Inspection (Accessible)

Level 3: Invasive Inspection (Concealed Accessibility)

The inspector will help determine the level based on your specific needs. For most insurance and real estate inspections, a Visual inspection may suffice.

However, if concerns arise, a higher level may be recommended.

You will receive a written report detailing compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions and relevant codes. The installation is either in compliance or not.

An inspection report is valid for four years from inspection.

You can use the "Find a WETT-certified Professional" search feature on the WETT Inc. website to locate a certified member in your area.

Level 1: Visual Inspection (Readily Accessible)

This level involves a non-invasive examination of the wood-burning system. It does not require special tools or the removal of panels or components. The inspector measures clearances, opens doors, and visually inspects accessible parts. This level is suitable for quickly reachable areas.

Level 2: Technical Inspection (Accessible)

This level allows for more extensive examination without invasive methods. It may involve moving or removing doors, panels, or other coverings. The inspector may also need to disassemble flue pipes or access components from the attic or roof. Basic hand tools and a ladder may be used.

Level 3: Invasive Inspection (Concealed Accessibility)

This is the most comprehensive level, requiring invasive methods for access. It may involve opening walls or ceilings and potentially compromising structural elements. Specialized tools like video scanning equipment may be used. A written agreement from the client and possibly a permit from the Authority Having Jurisdiction is required for this level.
