    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    10/8/22: Purchased a Harman P61 from Buck Stove. Prior to purchase I paid $69 for Marlayna G******* to approve the location of the stove;she had no concerns.11/1/22: Stove installed. New pipe installed,to include outside exhaust pipe,due to existing inside pipe being at the wrong angle for new stove. 10/17/23: Stove serviced by local Harman dealer. Said they needed to red-tag my stove. Exhaust pipe did not meet Harman installation requirements. Additional 6 inches of clearance from pipe to grade is needed. Tee pipe foam core adhered inside the pipe incorrectly,preventing cleaning. 10/24/23: Contacted Marlayna via email & certified mail regarding installation and requested she resolve the error. Asked for response via email. 10/26/23: Received voicemail from Marlayna stating they used an existing hole “so that would not fall under our responsibility cause it’s,you know,like if your previous stove was installed incorrectly,and you didn’t want us to do a new hole,and that would be that…”.She stated "we could work something out” but again said “this was an existing hole; we were replacing an existing stove”. She took no responsibility for the improper installation. My prior stove was installed correctly. It was not a Harman Stove. It had different installation requirements. Regardless, it is her employees’ responsibility to install their stove correctly. 10/26/23: Left voicemail for Marlayna requesting response via email.10/27/23: Sent Marlayna response via email & certified mail. She has yet to respond, as of 11/2. It is apparent that she feels she has no obligation to fix her employees’ errors and that she should not be held responsible for her employees’ actions. This is careless on her part.I will now have to pay someone else to fix her employees’ error to ensure that my stove is safe. Please investigate this retailer before something terrible happens due to her negligence. She also needs to be held accountable,to include repayment for the cost of fixing the issue.

    I bought a new propane gas log stove at this business and the blower has never worked, After 6-7 visits to my house to repair the unit I ended up with broken logs, extra parts and screws laying loose in the bottom of the fireplace. Many calls to the business and never get a call back. The blower is still not working and the warranty is over. I had to drive 45 minutes to another dealer for the logs $250 and I am paying this business $160 to come look at the stove. Run away from these guys!

    ************,We have never made you pay for the parts or the visits as we attempted to address the issue with your stove. If I remember correctly, we put in more than one blower, to have the same issue present itself after we left. If you recently called the store about your continued concerns, I was not made aware, and I apologize. If you have not, I would have appreciated a call, to allow us to address your continued concerns. If you still have issues, I will gladly address them. If your stove has been repaired by another company, I will reimburse you for your expense upon providing the receipt. We strive to provide customers with a good experience. If we fail to do that, I am committed to finding an appropriate remedy.
