My pellet stove wasn't working. Frankie came and tried multiple things to get it to go. After replacing multiple different parts to check what was the problem, he found the problem and got it going for me! He was on time, courteous, very clean, and a pleasure to have in my home. read more

Fire & Water - Frankie, with my now working pellet stove. Look at that fire! - General Contractors Near Me - Richland, Washington

We moved into our "new to us" 20 yr old home and needed to have the gas fireplace cleaned and serviced. The technician, Frankie, was on time. He was polite and informative. He was thorough in his cleaning and service of the unit. The service and some mileage was south of $300. The flames are larger and the embers are actually visible. We're very happy with the results. read more

Fire & Water - a log with a burning candle - General Contractors Near Me - Richland, Washington

I called initially to repair my natural gas fire place, it turned into an expensive cleaning and diagnostic. For the amount this company charges, you would believe the service is A+. This particular company cancelled my 2 scheduled appointments for the same reason both times, someone had called in sick. On top of all that, when they did try and call me to inform me someone had called in sick, and can't keep appt. I was called at 7am, unfortunately, I am a retired disabled veteran, and not up before 8 am. I will finish by adding they replaced a thermocouple with a new and didn't need replaced. I was told the after the fact the problem is a gas valve. This company charges $150.00 more for parts and a separate charge for labor. I gave them $100 deposit to replace the part, and later felt my hands are tied. Their customer service by one representative was horrible, and rude, hopefully you don't get that rep. read more

Just want to start by saying that the installers of our new pellet stove were fabulous. Professional, timely, efficient, clean and capable. They took extra time to make sure the stove was installed correctly and worked efficiently and quietly. They are the only reason this review has 2 stars. The owners of the business on the other hand are dishonest, misleading, incompetent and our whole experience with them was a journey of frustration and anger. To start, we went into Fire and Water wanting a new mantle for our living room fireplace that had a wood burning stove insert already. Greg, the owner made an appointment to come and see that unit and one we had downstairs to give us a quote. During that visit, he convinced us that our existing unit was unsafe (lie), that our chimney was unlined (lie), that if we had a fire the insurance company would not cover it (lie), and that if we rushed our order that we would be eligible for a $2000 tax rebate on the 2023 taxes (lie). He convinced us that we needed a pellet stove for our upstairs unit or we would not be up to code when we tried to sell the house (misleading and a lie). This was the end of December and he convinced us if we rushed the order and got it in before the end of the year, we could get the tax break in 2023 (lie). When we got to Fire and Water, we spoke with his son Marcus who told us because their computers were down and had been for days, he would have to hand write the quote, and left off the mantle. He said he would be back in contact and NEVER called us back. The only time we spoke to anyone at Fire and Water was when we had to take time out of our schedules and go into the store and then it was never to talk to Marcus again. The mantle discussion was continuously dropped. When we were finally coming up to the time that our unit would come in, we went back into the store to talk about the mantle one more time. I was extremely frustrated by the time as we realized that 90% of what Greg told me was a LIE and we wanted to put the entire project on hold, only to be told at that time that our order was non-refundable (we were not informed of this at the time we put the order in, or we would have waited). Yet, they conversation about the mantle still hadn't happened, and we were were now just going to go ahead with the pellet stove and get done with these dishonest, incompetent imbeciles. When we asked to talk with Greg, we were told "I am not talking with those people." So the owner was too much of a coward to have a earnest conversation with a client. The irony of the situation was that we went into the conversation with wanting 2 units and 2 new mantles. Now we will NEVER being doing business with these people again, and they have lost at least $15K of additional work with us and more with the people we tell about our experience and convince to not work with them either. Please save yourselves the frustration of working with Fire and Water. Unless you know exactly what you want and can use their highly competent installers, don't trust anything anyone tells you in the store. I think they are not capable of telling the truth. read more

Fire and Water has serviced my gas fireplace since they installed it over 20 years ago. Each year they come out and clean it and turn on the pilot light. This year I had some trouble with my propane supply and they checked it and came out twice to relight it. They are so helpful!! read more

We chose Fire&Water to purchase our gas stove and have it installed. They have had our $4000 since the first week of Sept, but no stove has been installed.. We didn't even know that the stove had arrived until a week after it came in. I had to physically go into the store to find out because they won't tell you anything via phone. They scheduled an appt to install but the night before they were supposed to come out, WE had to call THEM to get a time. Now they say they're not coming out to install it and don't know when they will. We've had our family room torn up for almost 2 months waiting for this place to make good on their promises. read more

Fire and Water did our "annual" (once every 3 or 4 years) gas fireplace checkup and cleaning today. Scheduling was easy and the Technician, Riad, was right on time. Riad asked if it would be OK to spray paint the enclosure area of the fireplace - he explained that some customers did not like the temporary paint spray odor. Throughout the process of checking, cleaning and painting, Riad was friendly, efficient, and professional. He left our 15+ year old fireplace looking like new! This was indeed a most memorable and very affordable experience!!! read more

I will never spend a dime at Fire and Water and the owner was one of the rudest individual business owner I have dealt with in the tri cities. He made rude comments about equipment installed in my home, he was misinformed about why he was called to my home, and he gave me false information about installing new equipment. I will never recommend this place to anyone!! If I were you, I'd shop around. Don't deal with the a-hole!! Do some research, after asking around I have heard this point of view from multiple people as well as contractors! read more

The owner Alex is not customer oriented, he can be quite unfriendly and even rude walking away when your *trying to talk with him. There are many heating and AC companies in the TC who service and clean stoves so you really don't need Fand W like we used to when his Dad ran the business. read more

This company lacks in customer service skills. If you need your pellet stove repaired or maintenance done on it, you might as well look up a YouTube video on how to do it yourselves. They won't schedule you when you call, or they take your number and never return calls. There almost like the United States Postal service; slow and unreliable. read more

Fire and Water, I take this time to write about my experience with FIRE and WATER. Having visited their store and set up an appointment for professional council regarding my two misbehaving propane gas fireplace inserts, the store owner promptly showed up. Neither of my fireplaces were running well, as in, flame turning on and off and very intermittent behaviour to say the least. After a 90 minute visit which included much dialogue with the owner of FIRE and WATER it was made clear that I was in need of new inserts, new flue stacks, and also a change out of the marble facia decoration because it would suffer damage while removing the old unit. I agreed to have the owner/salesman give me a bid for the replacement of both units. This was approximately the first week of December/20. I was told that I would hear from him after Christmas or possibly after the New Year. By mid January I heard nothing! I called the facility and spoke to two associates regarding my bid. The 2nd associate to whom I spoke with assured me that I would receive an email with a bid by that afternoon or the next day. NOTHING to date, 02/13/21. This is not my idea of customer service! It has now been 75 days since I made contact. If there has been an illness or some form of emergency with the owner or the company in general I could graciously excuse the negligence. Due to the fact that two attempts on my part to do business with FIRE and WATER have been cast aside I can only rate this company with 1star. The owner was knowledgable and friendly, so I hope that nothing has come of his health for that would be sad. However, letting me know why there has been no service would have been all it would have taken to assure me of their professionalism. As for this less than (poor) experience with their service, I give them a thumbs down. Nick Petrilli Kennewick Given the Cov-19 dilemna, I do hope that nothing became of the owners health! read more

Excellent service with a smile! I set up an appt. for service on my gas fireplace. As we had just moved here, we had no idea when it was last serviced. We had problems with the flames going out periodically, and the flames were so small you could not see much of them. The service technician knew his stuff! My logs we incorrectly positioned, hiding most of the flames. He adjusted the flame, made "embers" that glow when the flame comes on. Painted some spots here and there, vacumn, cleaned everything . My fireplace looks brand new and works perfectly!! read more

What a gem of a place. Went with my brother who wanted to buy a fireplace. Found the fireplace that he wanted and we waited around for help while the guy (employee or owner who knows) chatted it up with a couple (also customers). Which was fine because being a small business with a few stores, I can completely appreciate the fact that it is hard to provide quick service if there are two customers and only one staff member. BUT how about a "hi! I will be right with you after I help these folks" or just a simple nod acknowledging our presence. Nothing... we waiting a few minutes beyond what I consider acceptable and finally as I stood at the counter looking at this gem of a person he had no choice but to ask (without any greeting let alone apology of any sort) "is there something I can help you with?" and we told him we were interested in purchasing a fireplace... before we could even complete a sentence the gentlemen told us to "go online and find information" when my brother asked you have a website what is the address or can you give information as to what the model number is he again cut in firmly this time "I don't know... just google it!!" We thanked the gentlemen and walked out. What a joke. read more

Though they profess to be "open" on Saturdays, just be aware that their service technician is off on weekends and takes the service van home with him...along with all of their service parts! Not a very customer-friendly business in that respect. I will take my business elsewhere read more

Our experience from start to finish was great. After consulting with the owner about our situation and the set up we had, we picked out the woodstove we wanted. Knowledgeable and helpful are an understatement in describing the service we received just on that first visit. Installation and construction were well done. In fact, I would consider these guys to be craftsmen. Their work is top-notch. Their pride and attention to detail is something you don't very often see. What a surprise to have a contractor that does excellent work, on time and on budget - without any attitude. read more

Fire and Water recently built us a custom fire pit. They took the time to match our existing backyard barbecue setup and everything was perfect. Alex took the time to understand my needs and Paco built and installed the unit perfectly. Great people to work with. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more
