Because I had not used my gas fireplace in 8 years, I called a "so-called" professional company THE FIREPLACE DOCTOR on 1-7 to inspect it and teach me how to use it correctly. I was charged a total of $820.00 ($125.00 for "service charge" $ 695.00 for "flashing"... Who even knows that 10 minutes on my roof accomplished the "flashing"?

My issues are these: 1) Immeiately after the techs. Left, I realized that they did not leave a receipt for the $820.00, just the $125.00 that I had paid separately. I calledTHE FIREPLACE DOCTOR and told them the situation. The receptionist said that she would "investigate" and get back to me the same day. I have Never heard from them! 2) When they came out, the techs removed the logs, and went over the frame with a dry paintbrush... They NEVER lit the gas to see if it was functioning correctly!!! After replacing the logs and lighting the gas, only a flame came out from the anterior 1/3 of the fireplace. After pointing this out to the tech. He moved a log, and it functioned ONLY on the complete anterior of the fireplace. I assumed it would get better after I had the firplace going for awhile. IT NEVER GOT ANY BETTER!!! So when I called THE FIREPLACE DOCTOR the receptionist said (she never mentioned the fact that I had called a day earlier about "no receipt") that they were not "licensed" to repair any defective gas outlets and i would have to call some company that is "licensed" in gas... WHO KNOWS IF THERE IS A "DEFECTIVE OUTLET" since they didn't try it without logs? What if they covered the gas outlets with their placement of the logs??? (Interesting to note that they don't say they are not "licensed in gas repair" in any of their advertisments). 3) The tech. Showed me pictures of the needed "flashing" (without which it was very dangerous and my house could burn down... I know that that is merely a game to sell their product) How am I supposed to know what flashing shoud look like?

THE FIREPLACE DOCTOR is a deceitful, untrustworthy company!!!
