Stove Specifics

Friday, May 9th, 2008

If you are installing a stove in your home, might it be wood, coal, pellet, etc. There are specifics that need to be followed for some insurance companies. I know you don’t want to hear this but before installing your stove contact your rep to find out if there are any stipulations that need to be followed when installing your stove. I ran into an issue today with a stove inspection where the height requirements for the coverage were not met. They now need to put fire/heat deflector between the stove and the wood beam above the stove. They also put a metal piece of flashing between the vent to the chimney and the ceiling above that. They are going to need to fire proof that section as well. Just a heads up to think of these things before moving forward with some of these projects. Let me know what you might have run into.
