Quadra-Fire Mt Vernon AE
Another problem is getting service from Quadrafire "authorized Dealers".It takes roughly four weeks to get a problem fixed,that means one quarter of the winter using heating oil! We have been trying to contact the manufacturer,but even the website is not the same any longer.Can anyone please provide their current website or contact?Thanks a lot!
