She is very knowledgeable and follows up quickly on any questions or concerns. It was so easy to work with her. Tom from the Service Dept. which is located at Brassworks Fine Home Details, their Providence office, installed the unit and was very helpful explaining everything to us. They will do a yearly servicing of this unit. We had not been able to use our wood burning fireplace since our stone fireplace has an oversized arch which caused the smoke to come into the living room rather than go up the flue. It was suggested to us that inserting a gas fireplace insert would solve the problem and allow us to have an actual fire. It works with a remote so one button turns it on and off. There is no longer any wood that needs to be brought in and it is clean. There are controls on the remote to make the temperature in the room stay constant or if you want the fire to stay on you can manually set it to just burn until you want to stop it or it gets too hot in the room. You can adjust the flame, fan and lights. The "wood" pieces are ceramic made to look exactly like wood that has been tinged a little and there are embers in the bottom. The scene is so realistic! The heat warms the room and there is a backup pack you can plug in in case you lose your power and need some heat from the fireplace. It looks beautiful and adds a lot to your room. The only thing missing was the smell of a fire burning but we have gotten a candle from Yankee Candle (also at Bed Bath and Beyond) which smells like a fireplace and crackles. We advise using the plumber Boston Fine Home Details recommends for the gas line to be run - Paul DeVito. He and his son, Kyle, only work on this type of plumbing work and are excellent. Boston Fine Home Details works with Best Chimney Services in Dedham to help install the gas flue down the chimney. You also need to add in this cost for the gas line, an electrician's fee to insert an outlet in the fireplace and Best Chimney's fees to your total cost. Susan Grabowsky can inform you of general costs for these different businesses and recommendations of reliable people. One tip is to allow for several days to air out your house because you need to light the fire and open the windows (close door of room if you can) to allow for the materials used in the production of the unit to burn off. We highly recommend Boston Fine Home Details and the associated businesses listed above. You will love your new fireplace! A picture is attached.

Do you think I could even get a return phone call or email from Boston/Cambridge area stores? The answer is NO. I emailed Chelmsford Fireplace to ask which models of Valor, Jotul, and Rais they had on the showroom floor. I had a clearly written returned email in ten minutes. I went up to Chelmsford and purchased a Valor stove within 15 minutes of arrival on a Saturday, and it was installed the following Friday. I knew this was a quality place as i entered the store. The store was crowded with customers, it was clean and organized, and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. This is completely the opposite situation that I have found at other stores. If you want to speak to someone who knows their business and products, take that 30 minute ride up from Boston. I promise, it will be worth it. Since I am located in Somerville I am out of their installation area. No problem, they have The Fireplace Guys LLC out of Malden do their Boston installations. The installation was executed perfectly and complete in four hours. A fantastic overall experience.

I bet Maureen's never burned a single house down. Look, Dave is honest and pleasant and he knows his stuff. He's a good guy. He can do mortar work too, FYI. He only works in Arlington! Maybe Belmont, I don't remember for sure, but nowhere else! You should move here and buy a house with a chimney just so you can have Dave check it out. Or call me, I'm an expert now.

The short of the story is that John continuously gave me bad information about my delivery date. Twelve weeks pasted and the stove was finally in Massachusetts ( but not in Norwood). John left a voicemail stating I could go an pick up my stove at another store or wait another week for it to arrive in Norwood....... This is plain old bad business,needless to say I did not wait another week and I cancelled my stove. Under no circumstances would I ever do business with Norwood Fireplace.
