      Status:
      Answered
      I bought a gas fireplace insert in 2021, it was on back order for months. I finally got it March 25, 2022 at the end of the season, it was not used at all until November 2022 through February 2023. In November of 2023 I changed all batteries, lite the pilot, made sure the burner came on, manually and with the remote. A few weeks later I woke up in the middle of the night, the fireplace was on and the house was very hot, even though the remote was turned off and the manual switch was off. The only way I could get it to go off was to turn the unit back to pilot. Haven’t been able to get the unit to come back on. I called ****** they said they didn’t service them, they gave me a number to call for technical service, with Hearth and Home Technologies when I called the number, they told me ****** was responsible. When I called ****** again, they once again gave me the same number I had already called to Hearth and Home. The lady that answered the phone told me that ****** was responsible, that the number they gave me was for dealers only. I then called ****** again and ask them to swap out this unit since it has so many problems and is still under warranty and has only been used one season. From the time the unit was installed when the fan came on, it would only run a second, go off, come back on several times before it would come on and stay on. They have determined the regulator is malfunctioning and the sensor is possibly going out on the fan. It is going to cost me another $494 to have the warranted parts put on including mileage, which is ridiculous for a unit that has barely been used. I’ve had to use 3 electric space heaters trying to supplement my heat just to try to stay warm in these single digit temperature, because my fireplace doesn’t work. I am a senior citizen living on Social Security and spending another $494 on a poorly built fireplace is difficult.

      Never will do business with them again. Bought a $1,000 salt system use it for almost 5 months and the cell went out. The company that makes the system said to take it back to Kasten for a replacement. Kasten still made us pay another $208. Plus tax for a new one. Not a very good place to do your business with.

      Upon review of the complaint and further investigation into the matter, we are providing you a summary of the communication between *** ******** (consumer), **** ********* (Kasten Pool and Spa Department Manager), and ********* ******** (****** **** ********* *******). In addition, upon request, we can provide copies of the purchase receipt and ****** **** ********* ***** Limited Warranty for the subject equipment (included with the item at purchase). 

      Wednesday, May 24, 2023
      Mr. ******** visited Kasten with a problem regarding the readout of his salt system. Mr. ********* provided Mr. ******** with the Carvin Tech Support number to assist in diagnosing the problem. 

      Thursday, May 25, 2023
      Mr. ********* received an email from Mr. ******** stating that he had diagnosed that Mr. ********'s salt cell was not functioning and needed to be replaced. 
      Mr. ********* sent a follow-up email asking if it was covered by warranty or at the customer's expense. Mr. ******** said it would be covered at 100% the first year and 50% the second year. 
      Upon further research, the ********'s purchased the salt system on 07/02/2021. Therefore, the item would be covered 50% by the warranty, while the ********'s would be responsible for the remaining 50%.

      Please note that we understand and have compassion for the ********'s position, as we take this matter very seriously. However, as outlined above, Kasten has done everything within its power and within the product warranty guidelines to address the consumer's issue fairly and appropriately. 

      We hope that this information helps, and we appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to respond and provide transparency to the situation.
