ChimTech

Having purchased a home in a rural mountain town in far East County, and not having a lot of experience with electrical heat pumps I figured the pre-​existing electrical heat pump would be fine. After all, it worked great when the temperature was in the 40s & 50s… boy was I wrong… As soon as we had a number of winter nights in the 30s & even 20s I got tired of sleeping with a ski jacket, two plug-​in mobile heaters, and the family dog just for warmth… Heck, one night, I even begged an old girlfriend to get back together with me just so she’d stay over and I’d get extra body heat! Okay, just kidding about that last one but you get the idea…
So this past summer, I decided to invest in a new wood burning stove. Next, I needed to find an installer and I was referred to Jan & his company Chim Tech. YES, the stars were truly aligned in my favor with this recommendation! I cannot stress to the review readers what a true professional, amazing craftsman, and genuinely nice guy Jan was! Not only did he install my new stove to perfect functional and aesthetic standards but he was extremely educational on how he was installing my new investment as well as how I should use it properly.
As this November has already brought several nights at freezing temperatures, I really, really, appreciate having a perfectly installed wood burning stove. Thanks again for the excellent work Jan!

Jan is amazing! He was responsive, and informative. Most of all he was very personable. He knows his fireplaces! He has so far installed two inserts for us and will be bidding on another. They look fabulous. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a «Real» person and professional. I look forward to working with him on our future projects

I own a 1924 craftsman and I was looking for a gas insert that would provide heat to the living room. Jan helped me through the entire process! He came out & inspected the chimney & firebox. I needed to move the gas line & add electric to the firebox. He gave me referrals for the plumbing work (Patterson Plumbing) that I was also very happy with. I chose a Regency unit with a blower to distribute the hot air. I started working with him back in the fall of 2011.
I was going through a lot of life changes and it was obvious that my «to do» list was out of control. Jan offered to fix a couple projects on the roof as well. I feel this gesture was from his very kind nature and I appreciated the help. I didn’t feel he was trying to up sell me in any way, just offer a helping hand.
I’ve called him over the years with various question and he always follows up with me and provides the correct information. He knows his products!
Would be happy to work with him again.
