I have read a few topics about permits and insurance.
Do not forget to call your local code officer and check on permits, and your insurance company.
My code officer asked me lots of questions but did not require a permit.
My house insurance is going up $50.00 for a pellet stove!
Plus they are coming out to take pictures of the install.
I just wanted to be on the safe side, just in case.
 
In the township I live in I have to have a permit which is $50.00, after the install either the fire chief or building inspector will check the install. My Insurance will will go up $200.00 a year. They will not inspect the install but I need to fax them a copy of the WETT certificate.
