Never heard of it before, so it’s not a big shocker to learn that I got it wrong after looking it up! icon_redface.gif

Level II Inspection: The addition of a new home heating appliance or a change in the type of fuel a homeowner is burning requires a Level II inspection.

This inspection level is also required upon the sale or transfer of a property or after an operating malfunction or external event that is likely to have caused damage to the chimney.

The scope of a Level II inspection includes that of the Level I inspection plus the inspection of accessible portions of the attics, crawl spaces and basements. It may also include a performance test such as a smoke test or a pressure test and possibly an interior chimney video inspection if recommended by the certified chimney sweep.

thanks to Joe H for the link, it is a better explaination than I was going to post.

Regards

Gerry
