Permit needed for replacing a pellet stove

[Glenalmond]

I live in MA, town of Malden
I'm shopping for a new pellet stove to replace my current one
When I installed it 20 years ago I got a permit and had inspection etc all done
If I purchase a new pellet stove to replace my current one (I am planning on connecting it to my existing vent pipes) do I need to apply for a permit and have another inspection?
Same type of stove and base plate
Thanks

You need to check with your local building dept. in order to get the correct answer.

I would.

If the stoves were identical, and you regularly deep clean and inspect the vent pipe ect, then I myself would not. However, if the stove is different it will have a different nameplate, so the install would need to be re-inspected. What you could do, and what you need to do depends on you, but make sure your insurance is going to be good.
