Stove Dead after 1 year

Hello all, purchased a Hearthstone stove from the fireplace centre and patio shop, the firsrt year was great, now in the second season, a little more than a month into it, our wood stove is not functional. We had to hound the fireplace centre for almost 2 weeks before they sent someone out to look at it. At the time we were told that all the gaskets were shot and needed replacing. Odd since the stove wasn't even 2 years old. Well again another week and a half went by and constantly trying to get someone out here. First they told me it could take over a month to get a gasket kit, I had to keep complaining and email the manufacturer before I finally got some action. Well now it is the coldest day of the year and my wood stove still is not radiating sufficient heat to use it, have to use my propane furnace. A month long and still cannot use a product we spent almost 7 thousand dollars for. I won't even mention that the hearth pad is falling apart as well!!! I have nothing but distain for this company and the stove manufacturer, my advice run like the wind from this place.

Company Response

Dear Mr M.,

Thank you for your feedback and for drawing attention to your issue. I am glad you were able to fit us into your busy schedule and that during our extensive service visit we were able to demonstrate the correct operation of your Hearthstone stove and that it is working to your satisfaction.
Your Hearthstone stove is an excellent example of a modern high efficiency EPA approved wood stove and, as you experienced, operates differently from the old wood stoves our parents had at the cottage. The HPBA (Hearth, Patio & BBQ Association) recognized there is a learning curve to using EPA stoves which prompted them to release a series of video’s about the proper way to select, buy, split and store wood, and how to light both catalytic and non-catalytic wood stoves and ensure optimum efficient operation. As a result of your experience we now feature these video’s on our website
http://fireplacecenter.com/About_Us/Blog/EntryId/12/How-to-Light-an-EPA-Wood-Stove-and-Operate-Your-Stove-Efficiently.aspx
and are training our installers to educate new customers on the optimum operation of their new stoves. Rest assured we are constantly evaluating and improving our training procedure to ensure our customers are satisfied with our service and our products.

Gas Furnace

Excellent service, I highly recommend this company. My old gas furnace was in need of replacement being more than 15 years old. The replacement furnace is so quiet it's incredible, not to mention how much my Hydro bill has gone down because of the new electric blower motors the gas furnaces use these days. Wylie was fantastic, great advice, turned up when he said he would and despite some tricky pipework through the ceiling of my finished basement got it all done on time and with no mess.

Gas Fireplace Insert

We had a gas insert installed in our wood burning fireplace, and we are very happy with it. It's a good product and we got good service. Not cheap mind you, but still happy with it!

Napoleon BBQ

We looked around at a few specialty BBQ stores and we found the staff here friendly and knowledgable. We werent sure if we wanted weber and napoleon and they walked us through the pros/ cons of each. They delivered our grill when it was convenient for us and it sealed the deal when they threw in a couple accessories to match more so what a competitor was offering. Love you guys...love the grill!

Gas Fireplace

A few years ago The Fireplace Center & Patio Shop was recommended to me by my neighbour and it was an excellent recommendation. I contacted them and the next a salesperson arrived at my door. My problem was the heating system in my house. The salesperson walked around the house with me and without pressure or any sales pitch he informed me to wait another year due to the fact that I had just recently purchased my house. Two months later I received a telephone call from him and he wanted an update. He was very professional, courteous and I would highly recommend this company for any Gas Fireplaces or patio furniture.

wood stove service and parts

We were able to get help with a discontinued model and get parts, a paint kit and gaskets for it. The staff member gave us helpful advice to that saved us time and trouble to put the stove in top shape.

Installation of 3 gas fireplaces and a waterfall

When we built our house we had some trouble with one of our fireplaces and then the waterfall. They came and fixed the fireplace after a delay in time but to our satisfaction. Then we had problems with the waterfall. It seems they sell them but know nothing about them and we had nothing but trouble and bad discourteous service. The manager would not return calls. Very disheartening. Simple call backs go along way towards satisfaction.

Installation of insert in our fireplace

We went into the Firplace and Patio Shop with the dimensions of our fireplace, and met Ed who suggested the right insert for our fireplace. He visited our home, inspected the fireplace, and correctly modified the design to fit. After the order was delivered to his shop, he arranged for the installation. The installer crew did a great job, and the insert performed well all winter. We are very happy with this contractor who has made a big improvement to our living room.
