Will not service

I contacted this company because they were listed as a dealer from the Co. that made my fireplace (Kingsman). I bought my fireplace online, had it installed by a licensed plumber, but now need a regular service. Enchanted fireside told me they only service fireplaces they sell. when I told them they were listed as a dealer, they said they don't sell them, so they won't service it, but they are listed online as a seller listed by kingman. They were also listed on the NFI website which is the national fireplace institute, which listed them as certified for gas products , but yet they would not service my fireplace.. My opinion is they should be removed from those websites. I think it terrible, they stated they didn't sell this product because I didn't purchase there. "We are proud to provide exceptional fireplace repair and maintenance service to residents and businesses in the Worcester region" is a quote from THERE OWN WEBSITE.... This is definitely not good public relations.. Now I wouldn't purchase anything there myself!!!!

I assume they wouldn't fix your fireplace because if the don't see the stove they can't get parts.

Hi Debra, I reached out to you when you first contacted me via Facebook to see how we might be able to help, at least to refer you to a service professional, but I did not hear back. I hope you have been able to resolve the issue with your fireplace.

If not, please contact me at the store. The Enchanted Fireside service team is dedicated to supporting only those clients who have purchased their fireplaces, stoves, and inserts from our store. We're just not big enough to be able to help everyone! We don't even advertise our services outside of our customer base.

Based on your feedback, I revised the wording on our website to make this even more clear. And as you have probably learned, this is a standard policy in the hearth industry. Because of the issue of future support and maintenance, we consistently turn down sales for installations even in Boston because they are outside of our service area. We know those clients will be better served in the long run by buying more local.

If your dealer did not make this clear when you purchased your fireplace, I believe they did you a disservice. Regarding replacement parts, we have not carried the Kingsman line for several years, and have made several requests to have our name removed from their website. You will notice that Kingsman is not listed on the Enchanted Fireside website as a supported brand. Again, I hope you have been able to resolve the issue with your fireplace.

If not, please contact me directly at the store and I will do my best to help. Warm regards, Karen DiVerdi, Owner, Enchanted Fireside

Excellent customer service by Enchanted Fireside

Our gas fireplace wouldn't start and we were referred to Rachael to help troubleshoot the problem. We tried several things ourselves such as changing the batteries in the remote before calling Enchanted Fireside, but none worked. After Rachael walked us through several steps, we were able to make an adjustment to the fireplace that provided the solution. Our hats go off to Rachael who did an excellent job in helping us come up with the solution. We commend Enchanted Fireside for the excellent customer service provided. Keep up the good work. It was a great help to solve the problem over the telephone rather than have to have a service call.

Bad quality

Their Employees suck.

I stopped by there on a sat afternoon to pick up a gasket and snapdisk for my piece of *** Quadra fire Castille stove. The sales person was put off by the fact that I even dared ask for a part. She was very busy doing nothing in the empty showroom. She reluctantly looked up the two very simple parts and went to get them. She came back with the wrong gasket and would not make any effort to re lookup the part and told me to come back on monday when someone from service would be there. I explained that I had the insert pulled out of my fireplace and pulled all apart and that I would like to put it back together and use it. She said sorry come back on monday or take the wrong gasket. I asked if I could look at their stock of gaskets because I would know the right part and she said no, we have to many different one and besides this is the gasket the part# calls for. Then the other sales person got up from his desk/computer, put his search for Red Sox tickets on hold to tell me that they cant look for them because there are to many. I guess they are just too BUSY DOING NOTHING to actually help a paying customer. I wont go back on Monday or ever again. I will buy these parts online, save alot of money and make sure that I tell everyone I run into not to do business with enchanted fireside or buy a Quadra fire Pellet stove. By the way, I have had this stove for 4-5 years and have had nothing but problems with it. Even when its running its best it only heats the room that its in. I have replaced many parts on it mostly myself, but have had their Extremely expensive service tech out several times which always turns out to cost 3 or 4 hundred bucks. The tech is a nice guy and very knowledgeable, I don't know why he works for such a *** company. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Dis- Enchanted fireside!!!

Screws holding door hinge fell out

Several years ago I purchased a Quadra Fire Castile pellet stove and until recently the stove was relatively trouble free. This week I noticed the doors (both the cast iron door and glass) were loose. I removed the side panel and found the screws holding the hinge had fallen out and the thread in the stove was stripped. I called my friends at Fireside to fix it. I was told I would have to wait a week and half and the service call would be $160.00 paid up front and $85.00 per hour for the repair. I am retired and need to get the stove fixed. The price is way unreasonable and I wonder if they can fix it.

Enchanted Fireside terrible service

I bought a quadrafire from enchanted about 3 years ago and have had numerous issues that of course always happen during the winter. After buying it the control box failed and I was down for 3 weeks waiting for a repair person. Last year I had numerous issues that included a defective ignitor that caused me to be down for a week. I could not pay the 80.00 for an ignitor that I could get online for 35.00. Now my pellet stove keeps blowing fuses. I called enchanted and they wanted 15.00 for a 1.00 fuse! I bought a pack of 5 for 5.86 from Granger and guess what the piece of junk keeps blowing fuses. Enchanted can get someone out here in guess......, you got that right 3 weeks! So if you like being charged excessively for parts and wait weeks for service then buy from these bums. Trust me when your stove breaks, and it will, you will wait 2-3 weeks for anyone to come out. My son bought a Harmin from The Stove Shop in Shrewsbury and has not had a day of problems. Stay away from Enchanted they sell you and do not support them after

NEVER BUY A QUADRAFIRE, THEIR PRODUCTS DON'T LAST AND YOU'' HAVE REPEATED WARRANTY ISSUES. CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS.

STAY AWAY FROM QUADRAFIRE. I LOST $4,000 AND HAVE A HUNK OF USELESS METAL

#1052289

I want to start off by apologizing for any inconvenience or hassle you have experienced with your Quadra fire stove. We understand your frustration with waiting for a service call in the middle of heating season.

At Enchanted Fireside, we pride ourselves on having the largest & most experienced service team in the area with 5 full-time employees dedicated entirely to service. During peak heating season, our technicians are in high demand, resulting in an inevitable 1-2 week backlog, with that being said we strongly recommend having our Service Team perform the annual maintenance during our slower spring season to prevent these issues late during the heating season. We are aware that issues can arise and do our best to get to each of our customers in a timely manner. I once again apologize for any hassle you have experienced with service or pricing.

Please feel free to call us at (800) 782-5500 I would be happy to speak with you directly to resolve any outstanding issues. Thank You!

Enchanted Fireplace, Worcester, MA

This place discriminates!!!! I am a female and I went in there and I was totally ignored. The older guy - I assume in sales, wouldn't even acknowledge my presence. He was a complete ***!! After standing in front of him trying to ask for help, he said in a minute. Continued to talk to a male who was doing work in the place!!! Finally, after being ignored I asked a question and he treated me like I was a dumb female! The only description I can give is he has a HUGE NOSE!!!!!!!! I was planning on buying 2 fireplaces with inserts (for my new home under construction) and a pellet store (for a gift) -- let me see -- they lost about 6K in sales.... Get rid of that guy!!!! His loss!!!

This is the worst place. The only game in town does not make you the best.

People are rude. The service is the worst. The inserts are contacted out. The fellows who put the inserts in are rough, and not professional.

Service if you want it, it will be in July not when needed. I strongly suggest go some where else. I have had nothing but a head ache, and our fire place has never worked correctly. Do not buy from this place you will be disappointed.

I am not the only person who feels this way. There are other places and they stand behind there work.

Run Run fast.

Enchanted Fireside didn't give me respect

I stopped by Enchanted Fireside to buy a fireplace twice, and each time they appeared nice, but something felt off. There was a fakeness about one of the salespeople I met, and each different salesperson gave me a different story about price. Twice, they told me they would call me back. They never called! I don't know about you, but if a place doesn't call back when you're trying to buy an expensive good, will they call back when you have a problem? This place might be OK, but again, things just didn't seem "right" to me.

I purchased Mt. Vernon from Enchanted 4 years ago.

I burn over 6 tons every year and I am pretty happy with the stove. This year a problem occurred. The combustion blower jammed. I normally have the stove serviced, cleaned, and the flue-sweeped annually.

I called for a service person to come. They were booked for a long time. I had to wait almost 4 weeks (pretty much the month of February). So it seems the complaint about waiting time for service by others is founded.

However, I am not saying this as a complaint because it is typical and understandable in this kind of business although I would love to have someone in the same week. Finally, the service person, Dan Tinger, showed up. He was very friendly, very compotent and frank/honest. He identified the problem was not anything electrical.

To do that he took the combustion fan out and tested it outside the stove's operating environment. The problem was that either the motor was gone or the bearing was gone. Either way, the part had to be changed, which Dan did. I am very satisfied with him and his service.

The service cost quite a bit (part cost, labor cost and travel time). I would think the part could be purchased cheaper (probably) online or from the manufacturer. I would not know but I know in this kind of business, some overcharge for parts are common. Labor cost for an hour was $75, and I think this is also typical in this line of business.

The travel time within 25 miles fee of $85 was a suprise. I did not mind it but I am sure some may argue this is not fair. Overall, Enchanted is an okay company.

Dan Tinger, the service guy, was the third service guy I had from Enchanted, and all of them were nice but Dan was a real Ti(n)ger ;-). I particularly liked him.

I have found the situation to be totally different, The sales professional are always willing to help and no sell you something you don't need. THey are very focused on helping customer say money on oil. Its 2012 - somebody has to helo me!

#511333

I am wondering if this unhappy customer had Enchanted Fireside do the instillation, or if they had someone else do it. Not having professional instillation often voids warentys.

I have dealt with this store for 15 years, and they have always been pleasant and helpful.

Reading the first review, I can't help but wonder who wrote it. It is beyond off.

#480888

I walked in and said "Skadush"

#365300

we have found them to be rude and the service poor. i would never buy from them again and once you do you are stuck because no other store wants to do service for a competitor. when something broke they had us call the manufactor and they were nasty I part that should last 10 plus years lasted a little over two and cost several hundred dollars to replace but whan you think about the fact that a stove is only used for 4-5 months that isn't much just not supportive when we spent several thousand dollars

#95334

Although we walked in at a busy fall time, and we waited a bit, we had the full attention of Karen the owner.

Your complaint seems to be missing something important. Something sounds a bit "off" with your complaint as if you are leaving out something.

Why didn't you get a price when you were in the store? Did you call them back after you were in the store to follow-up?
