Distance matters less for a one-off job than for servicing, so check how often they’ll come out to a rural plot.
Chimeneas Casas, Chimeneas Ramos and Venta de Leña y Carbón José López lead on Google among firms with at least 20 reviews. The average rating across the list is 4.2 (firms with at least five reviews). A handful of five-star reviews is a start, but ask for a job you can go and see.
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?
