What rating would that be? I'm confused.... Seems any excuse they can come up with, I could understand (a little more) if the OWB was your only heat source and freezing pipes were a concern. On the other hand any heat system can fail and allow pipes to freeze.
I know when you have a trailer appliances need to be "rated" for mobile home use. Ours is a double-wide sitting on a walk-out basement,the furnace is no longer in the hallway closet it is in the basement and is a high efficiency propane forced air unit that is not rated for mobile home use BUT Pioneer dont care about that. My ex- agent has a OWB heating a stick built house and Pioneer is okay with that.
IT makes absolutely no sense to me.
Well, here's the latest... My insurance rates went up $60 per year because of my OWB.
The kicker is, it's not because of the fire hazard but rather that they consider it an additional "out building" and want to cover replacement costs!!! I thought I'd seen it all! So on top of that my insurance coverage already more than covers my actual outbuilding and the value of the OWB in the event I have a total loss of both at the same time.
So I'm currently shopping around for insurance, and looks like I'll be switching shortly based on some quotes I've already received.
That seems quite reasonable actually.
