My stove's fan was making a loud noise this past winter so I called around to find someone who could come out and look at it and replace it. Either nobody would respond to my calls or wouldn't look at it because they didn't install it. One of those people gave me Hot Spot Stoves & Mechanical phone number. Jesse responded immediately. He came out looked at it and to my relief was able to order a new fan and install it. Jesse is very professional and a very nice person. I am very thankful I found this company and will use them for my annual cleaning. I highly recommend this company!

Deans was unable to tell the difference between a repair and buildup. I've also contacted Travis Industries the maker of the stove. To let them know about the experience I had with Dean's stove and spa. No customer should have to go through predatory selling tactics that deans uses. People are Travis Industries picked up the phone and at least took the time to listen. They asked for an e-mail and pictures and all of those have been sent off. Time will tell to see if anything happens. Lopi I did get back to me. So that's good. I've been not been waiting for over a week for my refund. I guess it's up to you whether or not you do business with them if you do good luck.

We couldnt seem to control the burn rate in the stove and were going through wood very fast. Turns out they never attached the chimney pipe to the back of the stove. When we called them on it they just claimed it wasn't their fault. The stove ended up cracking due to being overfired because we couldnt control the air intake. They offered zero assistance and we are out thousands of dollars. Were honestly probably very fortunate our house didn't burn down. Stay away from this place.

I knew this place because last year my water would not clear and when I took water to this store Mary was so nice and helpful and she did not charge me for testing water and I purchased only what was needed and sure enough crystal clear water within a day.

He text me back saying it was not a big deal and he fixed it with no worries. He is also going to try and connect with me and show me some tips. I am beyond impressed with such great customer service, helpful, nice and just genuine. I wish all businesses ran like this one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WOULD BE FOOLISH NOT TO CALL THEM FIRST :)

Calls to them to find out if they were coming were unanswered and there was no way to leave a voicemail. When they did finally show up - they cleaned the dryer vent and said I was all set. The ugly - The first time using the dryer following the cleaning, the dryer would stop and gave an error that there was blockage. Had to call them to come back out. They did not show up the day they said, and again calls to them went unanswered. Got a hold of them 2 days after they said they'd come back. They did come that evening and pulled a giant wad of dust out of the vent that they had already cleaned. So long story short, my dryer was left in a state that could have started a house fire. For this reason alone, I will be choosing a different company in the future.
