It was early spring in 1987 when Alan first started to do chimney cleanings for his own home. Jana began to recieve phone calls from friends for Alan to come and clean their stove or fireplace. He and Jana created Alan's Chimney Sweep from the popularity by word of mouth. Soon Jana was able to stay at home with their two children and to handle the business fulltime.
When the business became more known Alan began to work with two heating companies in Carson City, installing stoves, inserts, and fireplaces for them. Alan and Jana opened A.J's Stoves in 1997. Alan and Jana's only help at that time was their kids, Krystle(10), and Brian(8). Business stayed steady for years and Alan started looking for some good help.

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!! I WISH I READ THE REVIEWS PRIOR TO DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM! BEWARE!! BEWARE!! BEWARE!! DON'T BE FOOLDED BY THE GOOD REVIEWS A FEW OF THEM ARE FRIENDS OF THE EMPLOYEES!!!
I am not one to speak derogatory towards anyone. And, I am a bit bothered that I even have to write a review as I don't think it is kind. But, I am not sure what else to do and I was told to write a review to help others. I purchased our second wood burning stove from A.J.'s Stoves in Gardnerville NV. I paid $2800.00 for it and $600.00 to have it delivered and another $600.00 to

Absolutely horrid customer service. Picked out a stove and pre-install was scheduled. Two nice guys came out and checked everything out.. all was good with where we wanted the stove. We wanted to put the stove in the middle of the wall.. but were open to options. No problem they said other than a short elbow at the ceiling. Three weeks later two more guys from AJ's show up. They came to do a pre-install check. Hmm.. already had that done. But no worries.. had a second check done. These two guys agreed with the first two. The day of install.. Brian apparently their main installer

AJS is simple wonderful! From their selection, installers, to office help, AJ's is helpful and wonderful! they are a family owned and operated business as well. I needed help relighting my Regency gas stove and crystal walked me through it like a champ. the most difficult part was getting down on my knees. Krystal was kind, patient and explained things in laymen terms. We had it done in less than a minute. they could have easily scheduled a service call to have done it, but didn't. they just walked me through it. Appreciated more than i could express as i live on a very modest fixed income

This is the third time I have used AJ's, ( and the last ). After spending almost $4,000 dollars with AJ's, and being our hometown go to, I figured I would give them the benefit of doubt ( 3rd times a charm right ? ), and hoped this time would be a better experience since I spent that amount of money with them. Nope, they have proven to be consistently unworthy. We scheduled an appointment for a simple chimney sweep over a month in advance, ( May 13, 2019 ). The appointment was for today, June 21st, 2019 at noon. I took time off of work to meet their scheduling, and they finally

Had to wait for two months for them to come out. Because there was an inch of snow on the roof they said they couldn't go up there. We were told we had the best wood stove made. Our stove puts out so much smoke we've had to open all the windows to air the house. My guess, something isn't right with " the best stove made"
We were also told the way to control the heat was to open our windows ( wth?) I don't think that would work well when it's raining sideways into the house. In short, we paid $75 after waiting 2 months only to have it smoke up the house on our

A few weeks ago my husband and I drove from Carson City to check out their inventory and talk to someone. We are looking for a wood insert and have some specific requirements, so its like searching for a needle in a haystack. The blonde women who greeted us was initially nice, yet when my husband started asking about specific needs we had, she got very short with us. She kept interrupting my husband when he spoke, and when it was clear she didn't really want to help us, she stopped talking to him and spoke only to me. I was appalled at her "salesmanship". We will never go back.

I went into AJ's stoves and ordered the Mirage stove they had on display. I was told it would take about 3 weeks to get it in due to it being around Thanksgiving. I was okay with that. We had an install date of Jan. 9th. I tried calling a few days before hand just to verify and never got a call back. 4 calls later with no response, I decided to just go in there and see what was going on. I told them I had been trying to call for days and got the convenient response, "Oh, we just left you a message." They told me that since it was close to Christmas and New Years, the company

I needed help with the pellet stove installed in my home. I went in to AJ's and the blond lady was caustic and rude and refused to help me or even listen to what I needed. She was so nasty and unwilling to help that I would never do business with this store even if they were giving stoves away for free.

Having lived in Tahoe for years, one of the things I was after was a nice replacement for my fireplace.
Masonry fireplace but it had a gas log. Yeah it worked and was pretty, but I was always left wanting more. With central heat, the motivation wasn't ever really there but I would get the occasional bug and go looking over fireplace inserts every year or so.
One year the bug bit hard. So I decided that I wanted to do some (okay, a lot) of research into fireplace upgrades, replacements, etc. Found the wonderful world of inserts (and all my neighbors have them) so pretty much narrowed
