Fireplace Installers in Salem

“Update: The owners of the company both called me and took time to understand the problems, both with the fireplace and with communication. One owner and a sales person came to our home and helped diagnose the problem and even got it going for a few days with the battery pack. The service tech and electricians came out about a week later and found the problem was apparently a faulty receptacle installed with the insert, they replaced that and now it works fine. It has added a lot of warmth to our home and is very attractive. In spite of the bumpy start I now feel that they did work to resolve the problem to my total satisfaction. I have never posted a negative review before, but unfortunately I have to say my experiences have been mixed with this company and the products they sell. The initial experience was okay - the showroom sales person knew the products well and was able to discuss them with me knowledgeably. Then it turned out our fireplace did not measure large enough for the inserts I was considering, and we were told we had to accept a smaller insert - fine, we accepted their expertise even though it was not explained to us in full why this was so. The installation was great - the crew was knowledgeable, clean and meticulous. However, 5 days after we had our new Heat-n-Glo Supreme 130-C installed, it failed! It will no longer light. I called the service folks at Fireside Home Solutions and was told they could not get out earlier than the next week to fix it, and they had re-arranged their schedule to try to make that happen for me, in spite of the fact that I could not be home on the day they had arranged. They would not fix it earlier, and part of the reason, I was told, was that they needed to do a 3-day confirmation call - I was told this _on the phone_, while talking to someone who could confirm the appointment! I just spent $3500 on an insert that _does not work_, and I would caution anyone about buying this insert and dealing with this company - be sure you understand how their service plan works before hoping to enjoy your new gas fireplace!”

“These folks are just great! I've used them so many times and the sales people are great. I can't say enough about their installers. A company is only as good as their installers, and Home Fire Stove has great installers. I needed new gas lines run for my Thermador stove as well as my new fireplaces and they took care of everything. I highly recommend Home Fire Stove! Thank you again Jeff!”

“I absolutely loved the service and thought behind this company’s work, and so thrill by the result! I hired them firstly for a chimney clean, and then after they showed evidence of my 1930 stucco clad cottage’s chimney starting to crumble, consulted me on options (because not using it was not an option..) I decided on a smaller Morso wood burning stove that Louis thought would work perfectly in my arched fireplace. It has been a life-changer! Service and installation was friendly, efficient and done within a day. The rest of winter was bliss!”

“David and his team did a masterful job adding seismic bracing to our VERY tall masonry chimney. These guys are the best in town when it comes to brick chimney work.”
