Insurance-Wood Stove vs Pellet Stove
 

Hi, I hoping that someone would know the advantages or disadvantages for
insurance purposes between having a wood stove or a pellet stove. Would
having a pellet stove cause any problems for getting house insurance? Or
would anyone know where to look?

thanks a bunch!

You must ask an insurance agent -- bearing in mind that few
know much about wood stoves, but some jurisdictions provide
helpful information via the building code. (In Ontario Canada,
the only parts of the building code that are enforced retroactively
are those concerning solid-fuel heaters.)

The main problem with pellet stoves is that if the electricity
fails (when in some places you really want a wood stove)
the pellet stove stops working correctly.
