Before you ask for quotes
Installing a wood stove, fireplace or chimney falls under subcategory 10. Your insurer may require a compliant installation: ask the contractor for a written record of the work.
Give the appliance you want (wood, pellets, gas), the room, whether there is an existing chimney and the floor. Ask for a copy of the appliance’s certification and have the chimney swept at least once a year; your insurer may ask for proof of a compliant installation.
Subcategories on these companies’ licences: 10 Solid-fuel space heating (wood stoves, fireplaces).
