The list covers Altea, Calp, Muro de Alcoy and San Vicente del Raspeig, among other towns. Near Alicante itself, are Estufas de Leña y Pellets and Ferretería García. If you’re inland, ask each firm whether your village is inside their normal working area before you book a visit.
Chimeneas Calp, Terramar Chimeneas and Chimeneas Mediterránea lead on Google among firms with at least 20 reviews. The average rating across the list is 4.5 (firms with at least five reviews). Read the low-star reviews as well as the high ones: how a firm answers a complaint tells you a lot.
Size a stove to the room, not to the catalogue’s maximum output, and ask about the flue as well as the stove: most problems are flue problems. If the stove will heat water or radiators, ask for the system design in writing.
Questions to ask before you sign
- What output do you recommend for the room?
- Is the flue kit included, and how high will it go?
- Can it heat water or radiators?
- Who services it, and how often?
