I am a repeat customer and was told there was nothing else that could be offered to me. I Paid for a full inspection 2023 or 2024 and the year before had an inspection as well. I was told it's not needed every year unless there are problems. But their policy now is of such if they touch my insert, even removing the glass to hit a reset button for the remote they would have to do a full inspection. So total Cost would be close to $600.00 when all that is needed is a remote. I did find a company to Come and handle the remote only but I would have rather stayed with Fireplace Tech. Disappointed

I was motivated to write a positive review about my experience with Creative Energy (CE) after…read morepurchasing a Hot Springs hot tub and a Lopi fireplace insert. Looking back on the entire process, I found the level of service and value added by their entire team to be truly impressive. Cole and Will in sales were both great to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right products. Behind them is an equally impressive team: Doris and Cara handled sales coordination, invoicing, billing, and scheduling with precision and professionalism, while Alex and Omar did a fantastic job with site surveys, delivery, installation, and service. Every step of the process was handled smoothly and confidently. I felt listened to, respected, and treated fairly. What really sets Creative Energy apart is their culture. Despite having multiple stores across the bay area, they operate with the feel of a family business. Not only did they take great care of me, but they also went out of their way to help other members of my family. This left me feeling special and a part of Creative Energy "family." My first impression was that their policies and procedures were a bit strict but after going through multiple transactions, it became clear that their structure and organization allow them to deliver such a consistently high level of service and execution. Another big plus was how well their multiple locations work together. If one store doesn't have what you need, they seamlessly work with other locations to get it for you. I also have found their staff to be knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and follow-up on after the sale issues. They also have a very handy text service that lets you communicate with text messages or voicemail. Finally, after doing my research and going through several purchases with them, I found their pricing to be very fair considering the level of service and value provided. If you are in the market for a high-quality hot tub or fireplace insert, I highly recommend that you consider Creative Energy. It is not only the great products they sell but also but the quality of what you find "under the hood" with their sales and service teams.

Need to be careful about this. I picked Darren because he's local. Previous owners somehow screwed up the functionality of my fireplace.

Darren diagnosed the problem and did a custom fix, installed a smoke guard, chain screen protector; did a great job, doesn't leak anymore.

This would've been a 5 star review but... Scheduling was complicated. I was getting phone calls,…read moremessages and text from three different numbers and it was confusing. I thought I had an appointment confirmed but then I was told because I didn't call someone back it was cancelled..then they showed up?? The guys were nice. Eli explained what they were doing. They were quick and efficient and they left everything clean. They did a great job. They explained what they did and what they saw that might need work And at that point, they walked out the door with a five star review. Here's where it gets dicey. When they came, my flue was open. Being widowed I've learned to make fires but I have never opened or shut the flue. It was open when they got there and when they left the last thing they said was "OK now you can make a fire". But they didn't tell me that they had shut the flue or damper. I didn't know it was a thing until I made a fire and my house filled up with smoke. Opening all the doors and windows didn't work. The fire alarm kept going off. I couldn't make it stop. I shut the glass on the fireplace. Ended up having to call the fire department. I had to get my cats and throw them out in the rain and wait outside. The fire dept confirmed the flue was closed. They opened it and they brought in big fans to air the smoke out of my house. It's still smell smoky. The worst thing is this was super traumatic for me. I didn't know why the house was smoky I didn't know what to do. I didn't have my husband or anyone to help and I was panicked. It was a really horrible experience except for the hot firefighters lol. Based on that they would get zero stars so I gave them 2

I requested quotes from several duct cleaning companies through Yelp and Duct Pros stood out for…read morebeing straightforward and reasonably priced compared to others. One big tip skip the promo emails. The deals you get by contacting them directly are much better than what's advertised in those marketing blasts. Booking and pricing experience Communication was easy and transparent. No aggressive upselling, no pressure to add unnecessary services. They also offer solid incentives if you schedule on a weekend and are flexible with payment options, which I appreciated. Service experience The crew showed up on time and finished everything efficiently in about two hours. They did not show up with flashy uniforms or branded trucks, but honestly that mattered far less than the quality of the work. They clearly knew what they were doing and moved with purpose. They went the extra mile by pulling out the dryer and cleaning it thoroughly from the inside, not just the vent line. Bathroom exhaust fans were cleaned properly as well, which is something a lot of companies rush through. Results This is a relatively newer house so there wasn't a ton of buildup, but the work was done cleanly and professionally. No mess left behind and no shortcuts taken. Final verdict If you want honest work, fair pricing, and zero sales nonsense, Duct Pros is an easy recommendation. I would book them again without hesitation.

This is who you want to hire to fix / repair / clean your chimney! Martin is fantastic. He told me…read moreexactly what I needed to do for safety and to protect my house, and different options with transparent pricing based on whether I planned to use the furnace vs just keep the chimney and house safe. He showed me where other people were trying to sell me "fixes" I didn't need. He patiently answered all my questions as an uneducated but curious homeowner comparing multiple quotes. He responded quickly to all texts and calls and was always very kind and generous with his time. The quote for the work I decided to do was similar / less than another company I looked at and Mr Chimney seemed like a far more professional company in terms of communication, presenting options, estimate, etc. Their office seems understaffed (maybe just 1 person working there?), but Erica is super nice and sent the estimate and scheduled the job...best to call her because they must be overwhelmed with email and I didn't get a response to email. The day of the work, the workers came on time, were super nice and explained everything and answered all my questions. They were supposed to do a number of repairs including fix my damper. They unfortunately said the damper couldn't be fixed but they were able to close it and I don't plan to use the fireplace, so they removed the charge whereas other companies might have charged me just for getting it to move enough to close fully or tried to talk me into replacing it. They simply presented the options and their costs and said I could decide later if I decide to use the fireplace. The workers were neat and clean, worked efficiently, and the chimney looks brand new after their repairs. After the work, I was cleaning leaves out of my gutters, and thought I saw some cement dust that had blown into the gutters during the work and was worried it could turn to cement in the rain and clog my gutters. I called Martin and he sent his workers back the next day to clean it up. He told me actually it was not cement dust but some debris from the roof but his team kindly cleaned it out anyway to assuage my concern-- truly old fashioned customer-centered values which is rare in this day and age. I would hire them again for any work and highly recommend them. Thanks, Martin, Erica, and team!!
