A client asks you the following questions. Are you prepared to answer them?

-    Why is my insurance company worried about my woodstove or pellet stove?

-    What is a WETT inspection and who is qualified to perform one?

-    Why do I need to clean my chimney every year?

-    Why do I need a back-up heat source when I already have an outdoor wood-fired boiler?

Wood-burning appliances in all their variations require extra care and handling by the client but also by the broker!
