Who should be contacted for an inspection of a wood-burning heater in a waterfront cottage?

1. Building Inspector

2. Chimney Sweep

3. Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks

4. TSSA Inspector

5. WETT Inspector

6. Fire Marshal

The correct answer is: WETT Inspector

A WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) Inspector should be contacted for an inspection of a wood-burning heater in a waterfront cottage. WETT Inspectors are specially trained and certified to inspect wood-burning systems and ensure they meet safety standards and regulations. They can verify the compliance of the heater with local building codes and insurance requirements, making them the most appropriate choice for this scenario. The other options are not the best choices for a wood-burning heater inspection in a waterfront cottage. A Building Inspector may not have the specific expertise needed for inspecting wood-burning heaters. A Chimney Sweep is typically responsible for cleaning chimneys and may not have the necessary expertise for a comprehensive wood-burning heater inspection. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks is concerned with environmental matters and not specific to wood-burning heater inspections. TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) Inspectors primarily focus on safety standards for various equipment and systems but may not have the specialization in wood-burning heaters. The Fire Marshal is responsible for fire prevention and investigation, but they may not have the expertise for inspecting wood-burning heaters.
