He took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns and he provided us with answers to all our questions.
We are very happy with the quality of their service and we will be definitely using their services in the future.
It took the person so long to NOT clean the stove, that they never cleaned the oil burner flue in the basement. A week later they sent someone else out who was down the basement for no more than 2-3 minutes and said I was all set.
Never once did someone go on my roof.
I complained to the main office and was told no one needed to go on the roof. I expressed my concern that neither flue was cleaned properly, since the stove wasn't disconnected and the oil burner took mere seconds to complete. I was told it was by the person on the phone, and I needed to pay.
Obviously I refused, and wanted it done properly.
After a few traded voicemails, I got a letter that they filed a complaint to my credit report. My score was 780 at the time.
So thanks.
And then when I had a different company come out to inspect, he said the oil burner flue was terrible (this was less than a month later) and it took him almost 30 minutes to clean it, including going up on the roof with a brush. The stove he completely disconnected and cleaned, which he said was necessary and there was no proper way to clean the stove flue without disconnecting it from the vent pipe.
Terrible overall experience. Truly awful.
company (Mountainview Fuel). We had an issue with our furnace and the exhaust was coming back into the
house. Since we were unable to run the furnace to avoid fumes (we had
to turn it off) we were without heat and hot water until American
Chimney Sweeps could come out. I called on Tuesday and left a message with the answering service. I found it odd that they were closed on a Tuesday. But they called me back the next business morning (Wednesday) and came over at 11:30 am. They removed a bad blockage in the vent. They thankfully fixed the problem without issue. They were prompt, professional and friendly. I had to pay $250 instead of $199 because it was an emergency situation and they had to fit me in. Overall, I would recommend them.
