All that may well be true in Canada; maybe in parts of the U.S. All I know it I never ran across it.We just had this conversation with someone else...who I shall not name.![]()
Our insurance costs increase a fair bit with a wood stove. And I don't believe you could put one in and run it until the whole thing was "inspected and approved." I think some insurance companies might even balk if it isn't a grandfathered situation. I know of someone who purchased a house...but couldn't use the fireplace because of the insurance.
