Wood stoves and
energy audits
Unlike all other combustion devices, the DOE has never set national standards for inspecting wood stoves during energy audits or weatherization programs. As a result, many states have little or no guidance on how wood stores should be inspected and homeowners are not getting written reports on the safety of their stove as they get for their boiler or furnace.
