Wood burning almost always takes place in fireplaces and stoves. Be aware that appliances designed to burn wood as a fuel require more maintenance than appliance using all other fuel types. Note: all fossil fuel burning heaters have a device known as a "heat exchanger." One of the most common methods of inspecting a heat exchanger is with a mirror and flashlight. Often very little of the heat exchanger is visible to the inspector without total disassembly of the unit. The inspector is not allowed to disassemble anything under the inspection guidelines with respect to inspections for individuals that do not own the property. Components not visible to the inspector cannot be effectively reviewed for defects. Any tests performed by the inspector to determine whether the heat exchanger is holed or cracked may be inconclusive. It is therefore recommended you request that the fuel supplier or a heating contractor review the heating system before taking possession of the property. If this concerns you do not hesitate to contact the inspector for additional information on this subject.
