I called their office to let them know it did not appear to be working properly. I explained that the chair I sit in is approximately 10 feet from the fireplace but I could not feel the heat, while the literature for the blower states that it can accommodate up to 1000 sq ft of living space. They told me that the reason I wasn't feeling the heat from the fireplace was likely due to the fireplace only being, I believe they said a 20k BTU fireplace and it is not a very good one. I called Advantage Fireplace for the blower because they were the company that installed the fireplace when my house was built two years ago. They were hired by the contractor and I was not involved in the selection of the fireplace. I told them that I have to stand right in front of the fireplace to feel anything and I would have expected the blower to, at a minimum be able to blow the heat 10 feet to where I sit. I asked if there was a way to retrofit the fireplace and they said no, that I would have to replace it. I told them that it would have been nice if they told me that before I paid $400 for a blower and they chuckled and said sorry.
While I paid them to install a blower, which they did, I think they should have told me that the fireplace wasn't powerful enough for the blower to matter rather than just make a sale a customer wouldn't be happy with. Had they made me aware up front I probably would have looked into replacing the fireplace, spending more than $400, but they would have had a satisfied customer. Instead they have a disgruntled customer that feels they beat me out of $400.
Matt did a very good job.
Then one day I found http://www.advantagefireplace.com/ so I sent an email, explained what I needed, ... and and lt; 5 mins later I had an email response with a price, and lt; 10 mins later I had a chat with Tina and the job was scheduled!
The job was scheduled to be done 2 days after Halloween, the snow storm knocked out my power and I had zero heat, so I emailed Advantage and asked if the conversion could be done 2 days sooner (in order to get some heat). Things worked out and they were able to squeeze me in on Halloween. The conversion went without a hitch!
