I got a Harman XXV last year and it is been through one season, with close to 2 tons of pellets through it. I got a call from the dealer offering to clean it for $189. Is this something I need to do? I did the basic cleaning in spring, but I just vacuumed out the inside, that's about it.
It sounds like this is something I want to do, but I just wanted to check with y'all.
Thanks!
I have a question: Since I know that you read the owners manual, when you got to the section that says to clean the stove
completely after
1 ton ( vacuuming, scraping, removing exhaust blower to clean, etc, etc, etc), why have you waited until 2 tons have gone through it to do a "complete" clean or have it cleaned by someone??
If you just aren't the "handy" type, you should have had it cleaned by the dealer after 1 ton. I agree with newf lover....either have it cleaned by the dealer and watch (take notes?) and do it yourself next time, or just pay the dealer after each ton.
If the dealer includes cleaning the exhaust piping as part of the service, then I think the price he quoted is pretty fair.
