WETT Inspection

Wood Energy Transfer Technology


A $50.00 WETT inspection is available with our home inspection package. Our Regular price is $150.00. Most home insurance companies now require a WETT inspection prior to issuing policy. A WETT inspection involves checking the appliance for certification by a registered agency such as ULC or Warnock Hersey and ensuring all clearance requirements are met. If unit is not certified requirements are more stringent. Chimneys also have to be inspected which requires that they be visible. One common problem often found in older homes is the fireplace hearth usually projects only 12 inches. Today's requirement is 16 inches of non-combustible projection from the front of fireplace. We provide Professional WETT inspection services to Barrie and Simcoe County.

Using Fluorescent Lighting In The Home

As fluorescent lights made their debut, most were excited about the new kind of light bulb which was able to produce bright, white light and spread it over wide areas efficiently while requiring only a little maintenance. This type of lighting was soon widespread in schools and offices, mostly because of their suitability for being used in larger areas. Bit by bit fluorescent lighting also found a foothold amongst home lighting choices.

Q. WHAT IS A "HOME INSPECTION"?

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. The Barrie Home Inspector's report will include an evaluation of the condition of the home's heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and visible structure.

 

Having a home inspected is like buying a used car. You would want to take your prospective car to your local mechanic to ensure that there are no major repairs that are going to be needed. Having you home inspected is basically the same thing, you are asking a professionals opinion about the home you are interested in purchasing.

 

Q. Why do I need a home inspection?

The purchase of a home is probably one of the largest investments you will ever make in your lifetime. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy, so that you can minimize unpleasant surprises and financial expeditures later. Of course, a home inspection will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase, and will be able to make a confident buying decision. If you have owned your home for a long time, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and recommend preventive measures which might avoid costly future repairs. In addition, home sellers may opt for having an inspection prior to placing the home on the market to gain a better understanding of conditions which the buyer's inspector may point out. This provides an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition. Call (705) 795-8255 to book your Risk Free home inspection - 7 days a week at your convenience. My friendly approach to home inspections will help you to understand your new home. I encourage you to attend the inspection that usually takes about 3 hours. Napoleon Home Inspections offers the best detailed inspection reports in the industry and I will always spend time going through the report with you. My 28 year inspection experience, home building experience combined with excellent people skills will help you feel right at home. My commitment to customer satisfaction is second to none.
