Columbia Housewarmers installed a new more efficient heading furnace in my 50 plus years old house. It was done professionally and quickly. My house is toasty warm.

We decided a year ago to get a Jotel wood burning stove. Best decision we ever made. Extremely helpful staff. They helped us make a better choice and decision. Highly recommend the purchase of the wood stove fan. Warms up the house real well.

It started with a very pleasant phone conversation with a polite 'phone answering lady (probably the owner)' - and ended with Adam arriving as scheduled, performing the chimney clean, WB stove clean and checking all for satisfactory operation. He was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. Will call them again when the need arises.

I bought a wood stove from them in fall 2016 and they installed it. It has worked perfectly since. Every June, they come out and clean the chimney and stove, work gets done promptly and correctly. Nothing at all to complain about. Just great service and quality.

About a year ago they sent 2 technicians to my house in Ocean Park, WA. and they did a service on my Quadra-Fire pellet stove and my gas( propane) fireplace insert. They worked just fine for about 2 days. Then my pellet stove stopped heating. I then started using my gas fireplace to heat my house but after a couple of days that quit working also. I received a bill in the mail about a week later but still haven't bothered to pay for a service call that clearly didn't work. I was interested in talking to them about upgrading my gas fireplace insert but not now.

Best folks around for heating problems! Very professional and fair to the customer. A few winters ago I was having heater problems, and Columbia Housewarmers apologized for not being able to send a repair person for two days because they were so busy. All of their competitors said they could put me on a six week waiting list. I bake cookies for Columbia Housewarmers!
