Pellet Stove Inspection in Richmond — FAQ
How often should a pellet stove be inspected?
NFPA 211 calls for an annual inspection of the appliance and venting. Heavy burners — anyone going through several tons of pellets a season — benefit from a mid-season cleaning too, since fly-ash builds up fast at high burn rates.
What does the inspection actually cover?
Pulling and cleaning the burn pot and heat exchanger, checking the venting and door/glass gaskets for leaks, testing the igniter, auger, and both blowers, verifying the vacuum/pressure safety switches, and confirming proper draft. The aim is catching a worn gasket or weak blower before it becomes a no-heat or smoke-spillage problem.
What happens if I skip it?
Fly-ash restricts airflow and overworks the blower and igniter, and a degraded door or vent gasket can leak combustion gas (including CO) into the room. Skipped service is the leading cause of midwinter breakdowns and a slow drop in heat output.
Will an inspection improve how well it heats?
Often noticeably. A caked heat exchanger and ash-choked burn pot kill efficiency; cleaning them and resetting the air-to-fuel adjustment restores output. Any worn part gets flagged with a written estimate, not fixed by surprise.
