Fireplace installation they did had to be re-done
RD Mechanical was recommended to me by Rona Building Supplies in Pemberton, to install a new gas fireplace. The fireplace was being installed for propane and was purchased with the necessary parts to do so. I had a propane tank installed outside the residence also. The tenants told me the fireplace kept sooting up and did not give off much heat, though it was supposed to heat 1000 sq ft. I asked a different gas fitter to check the fireplace. He discovered that the fireplace had NOT been converted to propane by RD Mechanical, even though they connected it to the propane tank! Which was a dangerous situation as the fuel aperture opening was set for natural gas and too large for propane, which was allowing too much fuel into the unit. RD Mechanical's installers either didn't check whether the fireplace worked correctly after they installed it, or did check but weren't concerned that the flames were huge. They lost the propane conversion parts, which had to be re-ordered. The owner billed me $1800 even though I was originally quoted $500. It cost me another $500 to get the installation repaired.
