Complaint Information: Dear [redacted] ***, We are not blaming you for the fire you experienced, we only advised you of some of the facts surrounding previous fires that pellet stove owners have experienced across the countryWe are not saying you were negligent or accusing you of poor maintenanceI don't see how we are being unresponsive and uncaringWe offered to send a tech out when you called about your fire, you declined and wanted the stove out of your home and that you called the insurance companyAt your request we came out, uninstalled the stove and patched the hole in the wallWe realize you are upset because we wont buy the unused fuelOnce again, we apologize but, we do not buy back fuel as was explained in the previous responseWe appreciate all your past business and wish you wellThis will be our last response as this matter is closedDean's Stove & Spa

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:I had already contacted the manufacturer when Dean's refused to fulfill the warrantyThey say it is the dealers responsibilityDean's is the dealerI had a certified technician look at the stove and it's obvious there is a problem with original motorIn none of the paperwork does it say I have to use Deans technicians to service the stoveIt's barely a year old Sincerely, [redacted]

Customer came in and picked up log set, no refund is needed

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
well the only statements that are true are that he came to my door with his hat and shirt on saying who he worked for and he shook my hand..he also started the stove because it was off..his approach toward my problem was not as he described in the statement..since the installation of this stove, the company has done everything to deflect the fact that they did not install this stove correctly..first they were saying it was a manufacturing defect, that they were not responsible for..now they are blaming it on me for vacuuming up hot ashes..at no time during his visit did he ask about the vacuum or look to inspect itday after the visit he called on my cell phone asking me about the vacuum..and to further go into the vacuum issue, the unit sold to me was supposed to be the more expensive vacuum which was supposed to handle the hotter ashes..at no time EVER did I use the vacuum when I was cleaning hot ashes..I ALWAYS waited for everything to cool off before said usethe rudeness started from the employee when we told him we were not happy with his assessment..we are not happy with the fact he accused *** *** of cursing at him, when in fact all we did was express our dis satisfaction with the companys constant deflection of the blameno I do not accept the statement given by deans and wish to have this issued settle because we have not used this stove since this second problem..now that the weather is getting colder and colder I am forced to use the electric heat in my house ( which is why we bought this stove in the first place ), causing my expenses to rise exorbitantly I have a $stove that I can not use and am not happy at all

My issue was never with the unavailability of the pipe, while that was frustrating to me I understoodMy issue was and will continue to be customer service or lack there ofI will only deal with *** as he is the most knowledgable and helpfulThe remainder of the staff needs some serious customer service lessonsThey are rude, very short with the customer and almost agitated by having to answer questionsThat is something no customer should have to experience once, let alone everytime I've spoken with someone who was not on the pellet stove side of the building and or ***.

Complaint Information: *** *** technician for Deans Stove went to the *** residence on 12/23/14, offered to remove his shoes when he was greeted at the doorHe was wearing his Deans hat, sweatshirt and clean work pantsHe shook *** *** hand and then proceeded to the stoveHe
started up the stove because it was offHe used a flashlight and smoke tested the pipe systemNo smoke at all*** took her cell phone to video him wiping her table off with a wet cleaner wipeHe reviewed the operation and maintenance of the stove to figure out where the dust may be coming fromhe never was given the chance to inspect the vacuum filters for holesHe was calm and polite but, he was not saying what **& *** wanted him to sayThey became rude and intimidating , *** began cursing as he started for the doorHe never said anything rude or unprofessional at any timeAs a matter of fact *** even called *** on 12/24/Christmas Eve around noon to advise him to check the vacuum filtersHe was very cordial and thanked him for the call and exchanged holiday wishesOur installation is not the cause of the residue in the houseThe dust can be caused by holes in the vacuum filter -since there are two, and it is very common that customers vacuum up hot ash that burns tiny holes in the filtersAll pellet stove users get at least some airborne dust when pellets are poured into the hopperThe *** admitted that they pour the pellets from the bag into a bucket, into the hopper that will certainly create a lot of dustIn conclusion our installation was done correctly and is not responsible for the dust, therefor will not be paying for any clean up*** the technician was very courteous and professional at all times and followed proper protocolSent on: 1/13/11:00:AM
