I was looking at purchasing an older Timberline double door wood stove from a friend and putting it in the basement.
My insurance agent told me I need professional installation and inspection as well as the stove can not be my only source of heat (which it is not) for it to comply with the homeowners insurance. I specifically asked about the UL number and or EPA certification and he said just the installation and inspection.
Would someone explain about the UL number and why it is needed. Should I check with my agent in person and have him check the policy with me there.
I do not want to spend a good bit of money having this installed and it ends up not passing inspection and the insurance attempts to not cover the stove and or my fire coverage.
Thanks for the help.
