Thanks for all your planning and hard work! We all appreciated your experiences and advice on improving our BBQing skills.
Everyone was still talking about the great food today and comparing what foods will be served this weekend for their families. You have inspired all of us to get creative.

Many Thanks!

Dedicated to probelm solve until the end!!!

Dear Friendly Fires,

We had a challenging time this winter with our pellet stove… something was just not right. It kept going out.
Friendly Fires researched many angles to discover the root cause. We persisted in reporting it was not going well. Invariably when the service technician was at our home, the stove went well, then the next day, the same problem recurred. We reached out to the manager with our story of frustration. Within 2 days all was miraculously sorted and our stove has kept us warm ever since. The team at FF were patient, understanding and dedicated to problem solve until we were satisfied. That level of service is rare these days. Thank you all.

A thoroughly satisfactory job – many thanks!

Last winter we were very glad of the pellet stove you installed for us a few years ago. It was REALLY put to work and trimmed our Hydro bill to half of that of some of our neighbours!

Last week, it was serviced by Duncan and Gilles. We have nothing but praise for both of them.

Duncan and Gilles arrived on time and were cheerful and friendly as usual. They were also very nice to the cat, who insisted on trying to help them.

They were scrupulous in keeping mess under control, meticulous in their work and always ready to answer my questions.

A thoroughly satisfactory job, many thanks!

Valor Retrofire success!

I wish to tell you about the efficiency of the men who did the installation. Gilles and his partner  were quick, clean and respectful, no mess , explained the operation in detail several times, all of which I appreciated immensely. If there are any bonuses to be handed out, I hope they are on the list. 

Very pleased with the whole operation,

Thanks,

Hi Lorraine, 

I just wanted to commend the two men (Duncan and Gill, I believe) for their professional and courtesy approach to my installation.  Also to Michael for his advice and help.     They  are a credit to your company and should be recognized accordingly.

Please pass on my sentiments to your management/owners.

I will definitely refer your company whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Friendly Fires to the rescue!!!

Hi Duane, 

As a follow-up to your courtesy call after my service appointment, I would just like to comment on my experience with Friendly Fires.

 First I must say, it was my good fortune to have run into you Duane.  And to have met your terrific Technician, Kyle, who was pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and got the job done (where many had failed before him)!  I also had conversations with Andrea and Jason who were both very nice, professional and patient!

 As you are aware, unfortunately I purchased my Valor Fireplace from another store (my misfortune, I thought I was out of your servicing area.)

 I dealt with the owner for three and a half years (it was not pleasant).  There were many costly service calls, a ton of excuses why the fireplace kept going off (obviously none of them were valid).  All I wanted was my brand new fireplace, which they installed, to work.  (In my opinion, it was not installed properly from the get go.)  They just were NOT QUALIFIED to do the job. 

 In comes FRIENDLY FIRES TO THE RESCUE.  Once again, I must say how knowledgeable your technician was.  Kyle knew his product and got the job done!! 

You can be 100%  assured that I will be recommending Friendly Fires to everyone I know (and to do themselves a favour,  stay away from the competition!!!!) 

THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!

 Sincerely, 

Patti Williamson

Westport Gas Stove – what an impression!

“Your service representatives, Duncan and Gil (Gilles), came to advise us on
January 10th about moving a Westport gas stove from one room to another.  My
wife and I were most impressed with these young men.  Their interpersonal
communication was excellent.  They were attentive, informative, unrushed,
and knowledgeable – if they didn’t have an answer to a question, they would
refer to their manual for technical information, or to management for
pricing issues. 

“As Gilles himself said, “I think the company is very honest, and they treat
me with respect!”  We would be very pleased to have these two gentlemen in
our home, or that of clients at any time.  We highly recommend them.”

Customer for life!

Hi Alex,

THANK-YOU VERY MUCH!!!

The fan arrived on Friday and we have been using it for the past few days.

Although it does not circulate quite as much air as the original one – IT IS VERY QUIET – much better than the last one!

As always, Cheryl and I really appreciate you and your company.  You are one of the few companies still providing excellent customer service.  We will continue to refer you to anyone looking for a fireplace, wood stove or appliances.

You have gained a customer for life! 

Sincerely,

Phil & Cheryl Beaudet

Pellet Stove Perfection!

Good day!  I would like to take the time and tell you how happy I am with the service person (Alex Vincent) you sent out to look at my EF2 pellet stove.  I have owned pellet stoves now for 15 years and to date, the technician you had sent had to be the best trained in this field.  He worked on my stove which I thought I was going to have to replace.  He took it apart and cleaned it better then anyone else has before and got it working as good as new.  You should be very proud of having a member like that on your team – please thank him again for the good work!

Hi Michael, 

Called your office today but it was your day-off so I made a payment with one of your colleagues. Wanted to tell you that we really like the Pacific Energy Super 27 wood stove, it pumps out lots of heat. The installers did a great job.  

Thanks very much for your help.
