We Are WETT Certified
In addition to providing high-quality fireplaces and wood stove installations, we are qualified and licensed to perform WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) inspections on existing wood burning fireplaces. These fireplace inspections are important to do for insurance purposes and following the purchase of a new home with an existing fireplace or woodstove to make sure that it is safe to use, as well as in older units. Contact us today to arrange for this inspection and protect your family’s safety.
Chimney Sweeps
To prevent creosote buildup that could cause blockage and chimney fire, we recommend a chimney sweeping on an annual basis. By providing a visual inspection, we make sure it’s safe to burn. During this service, we will go over any areas of concerns or questions you may have about burning your wood appliance.
About Wood
When you are considering using wood heat, ensure you are buying an EPA approved unit. Nowadays, advanced stoves emit 2-4 grams of smoke per hour compared to older units that can emit up to 40 grams per hour. When heating your home with wood, you are simply bringing part of the nature’s carbon cycle into your home and releasing its stored energy. Next, trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow, converting it to carbon that makes up almost half the weight of dry wood. As wood burns, this carbon is released as CO2 again. If, instead of being processed into firewood for home heating, if an old tree fell and rotted on the forest floor, the same amount of CO2 would go back into the atmosphere.
Considered a renewable energy source, most firewood is produced from old, damaged trees that are unfit for other purposes. When one of these trees is harvested from a woodlot, its absence creates an opening for sunlight to penetrate and stimulate the growth of smaller trees below. As these younger trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. With sustainable harvesting, our forests can provide a continual source of energy. Wood burning is now being considered to be carbon neutral.
Ideal for both heating and decorative ambiance, wood-burning fire provides optimal visual entertainment from the brilliant blazing flame, to a slow and steady flame—a natural ebb and flow with constant action. The crackling, popping, and hissing that some hear is an essential aspect to the fireplace experience. Quality, availability, and price of wood will vary from region to region.

What is a WETT certification? Why do I need this?
WETT stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer. It is important to know that your insurance company will ask you to have a WETT inspection to ensure that your wood burning unit is safe to use.
As a training organization, WETT trains people who wish to get involved with the sale, installation, inspection, and maintenance of wood heating appliances. Once people complete the training program and acquire enough experience, they become WETT certified in the specific area for which they sought training.
