The ignition switch was not working. The technician pulled the unit away from the wall and pushed it back in again and that fixed the problem with the ignition. I assume the movement must had wiggled something that had caused the problem. He also cleaned some build up on the inside but that was not what was causing the problem. In fact, he never did figure out what had been causing the switch not to work. He asked if I wanted him to figure it out and I said "No" since it was now working. For this half an hour of work they charged me a $300 "diagnostic" fee., despite the fact that they did not diagnose the problem with the switch. That equals a $600/hr. rate. The explained that they don't charge an hourly rate because if the tech was training a new employee, it would cost the client more for the extra time. .

They admitted that they did not have enough experience to diagnose the issue, and needed to have their boss come out to take a look and would charge us, not only for their time and not being able to diagnose the problem, but an additional cost to have the boss come out for a look and diagnosis. We chose to end things there and go with another company. However, even after speaking with the boss and him admitted no services were provided by not being able to even diagnose the problem, we were still charged over $250 for nothing. We are at square one and are going with another company who has guaranteed a diagnosis or there will be no charge. The techs who came out were extremely nice and hard working. I do not fault them for what has happened. I 100% fault the owner and the terrible business practices they have. If someone more experienced had to come after the first techs, but did not charge an additional fee for their own inexperience, I would have gladly paid. Save yourself a lot of time & money - I would highly suggest going elsewhere. PLEASE read other one star reviews because they are EXACTLY what we experienced.

When they came out, they got my wife (I work all day, so my wife had to deal with these people). Upon doing their inspection, they told my wife the following which was texted to me by her (see photo 1). We went ahead and hired this company to do the work and make those replacements (see photo 2 on how it looked before the work was done. What they said was going to be a week took almost three weeks and several phone calls with an update on what's going on. They came and did the work and we paid them. I'm going to assume they weren't going to think we were going to look at their work (please see photos 3 and 4 which is what we paid roughly 1800 dollars for). Needless to say I wasn't happy, and neither was my wife. She reached out to them and communicated what I thought was going on with their workmanship (please see photo number 5 for their reply). For them to actually argue that the collar they put on wasn't almost completely if not totally mangled and bent is absurd. Their reply was beyond mind boggling. We decided to have them come out and replace the mangled and bent collar (see photo 6 for the replaced collar). Also see photo 7 of the mess on my lawn they didn't clean up. The fact that they replaced the shoddy workmanship did help and ultimately prevent a complaint with the BBB and/or a potential lawsuit, but that is the last business I will do with these clowns. I will be giving my money and repeat business to a different chimney/fireplace company. Please take this review into consideration if you choose to go with this business.

The guys coming out to service the chimney and stove have been stellar. Unfortunately, I just tried to get some family members who are new to the area lined up with Top Hat on the phone and a guy named Ron was completely irritating. He was impatient, curt and wouldn't give me the information I needed without an attitude. I asked for list of measurements and photos my family should bring in to allow them to determine what could and couldn't be done and he refused to do that (because no one could come to their house to make the determination??) I am close to never calling Top Hat again for my own needs. I'll certainly check elsewhere for what my family hopes to install.

I cannot say enough great things about these people and this great business!

He was very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure everything was working perfectly before he left. What really stood out was how clean and careful he was while working.

Excellent service, great attention to detail, and a very positive experience overall. I would definitely recommend Fireside Hearth and Home to anyone looking for quality service.

I have been a customer for almost 30 years…read more Several weeks ago, I had my fireplace serviced. There was a problem with the flame. A service representative came and fixed the problem. He said I was good to go. Two days ago, the flame would not come on again. I called to explain what happened and tried to get another appointment. The earliest they had was an appointment in January. While I understand that this is a busy time of the year their position was there was nothing, they could do about it because they were completely booked. To me that is not a customer focused policy. It's hard for me to believe that there was not a way that they could have found a way to come and fix a problem that the service tech had not fixed. However, I realize that they have the right to run their business as they see fit. Just like I have the right to go elsewhere to have my fireplace serviced. That's exactly what I have done. My first of future appointments is next week.

I hired this company to install a fireplace, and from start to finish, it was a frustrating experience. Once I paid the down payment, the company's attitude completely shifted. Cindy, the lady that runs the office, was rude, dismissive, and frankly, condescending. Darin, the owner, "forgot" several commitments that were made during the quoting process, leaving us with an incomplete installation. I ended up having to either finish the work myself or hire other professionals to get the job done right -- including moving electrical, rebuilding the hearth base, and even hiring a roofer to fix the improperly installed chimney collar. This entire process left me feeling misled, overcharged, and really disappointed in the quality of both the service and the professionalism. If you decide to work with this company, make sure you get every single detail in writing and double-check everything. I would not hire them again. Would not recommend.
