Sarah was fast to respond to my email inquiry and we set a date to visit the showroom. My husband…read moreand I both left work early to make sure we were on time for our appointment (over an hour's drive) and when we walked in, Sarah said, "You're ten minutes early!" And she complained about how people were late and it set her behind, she has a 7-yr-old there she's trying to look after, etc. it just felt unprofessional (and frankly rude given that we were not late. Is she badmouthing us to the next customer?) She encouraged us to buy the Stuv insert (the only one she carries now, she worked at that company for years, she is the sole distributor in VT... we got the whole sell) and when we asked about the federal tax credit she said, "oh, it's more trouble than it's worth, it's hard for an insert to meet the standards, it's only a small tax credit and probably won't put you in a lower bracket..." we later found out the Stuv isn't efficient enough to qualify. And the quote was almost $10,000 with installation. We were rushed through our appointment as she had someone else there next. We felt she was dismissive, talked too much and listened very little, and not forthcoming. We will go elsewhere and hope that she considers the customer a bit more in future. If she hardly has time while making the sale, how can they follow up on service?

He was conversational and enjoyed talking with him.

After trying to contact multiple different chimney service companies for the last month, we were so…read morehappy when Pinckletink returned our phone call for a request. We had reached out to three other companies, two of which we never even heard back from and one who said they wouldn't come this far out to our house (only a town or two over.) We were in desperate need of a chimney sweep and inspection. The woman who returned my call was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and got us booked with an appointment for the following week on a Monday morning! The two gentlemen who showed up to our home were very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. They went right to work and seemed to have everything taken care of in not talk much time. Although I wish the results of our chimney inspection were better (thanks previous owners of the house), the inspection was thorough and seemed reasonably priced. The young gentleman who gave me the results of our inspection was actually the owner of the company and said they would be emailing over photos of the complete inspection along with an estimate for any repairs we would need to have done before potentially installing a wood stove. If you're in the need of any chimney servicing, I highly suggest Pinckletink. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable!

From the moment our family walked through the door of Alternative Heat Source, Karl made us feel…read morecomfortable. He did not try to "sell" us a stove, he educated us on the differences, and made a recommendation based upon the stove we were currently using. His son, Kory, came out two days later and took a look at our current stove and chimney layout. He spent nearly an hour looking things over and patiently putting together a couple different quotes for us to ponder. Over the next few days, I emailed Kory with many questions, to which he was receptive and honest, and never tried to pressure us into making a decision. He only provided us with the necessary information to make an informed decision. Once we made our decision, Kory returned ten days later, and professionally installed our new stove. He even moved our old stove into our garage for us. He took the time to touch-up the paint on the stove pipe, and cleaned up every bit of the mess they made, even as minute as it was. I could not be happier with Alternative Heat Source, and highly recommend their sales and service.
