In Oct.08 we bought our first stove the 'Gourmet Eclips 'for our kitchen, a room that we spend a lot of time in. We had moved into our house the year before and had spent a lot of money buying oil, by buying the stove we were hoping to both cut our oil bill and heat our home more efficiently, we did both of these things plus we were able to cook in the oven and the stove looks good too, it is made of dark blue soapstone. We have cooked roast chicken, stews bread puddings all sorts of casseroles and roasts, we are still experimenting with the oven and feel very virtuous when we can switch off the electricity and let the stove take over. It is also very nice to be able to watch the flames of the fire. We were so pleased with the stove that we ordered a 2nd one for the sitting room ,this time we ordered the 'Vision' because it has a larger heat capacity. The room is warm quickly and retains the heat for many hours. Only a small amount of dry wood is necessary just an armfull of small sticks will last for the evening.

We are extremely happy with the stoves performance. Since purchasing the Altech Stove we have significantly reduced our dependance on oil heating. We filled our oil tank at the same time we purchased the stove two years ago. We have not yet had to refill our oil tank and we would estimate that we would not need to purchase oil for another 3 years. Our stove is situated in our hall and heats both upstairs and downstairs. We find the stove very efficient and easy to use. We love the fact that it contiues to give out heat for hours even after the fire has gone out. The stove is very easy to keep clean and the ashes only have to be emptied once a week. We would have no problem in recommending others to purchase this type of stove.

It is now sometime since you so very kindly gave me advice and help with deciding what sort of stove would be the best thing for me. I wanted to thank you for this - also for the great work in installing the Altech Eclips stove in the rather difficult fireplace. It has certainly been a boon over the last winter and your after sales service has been much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in showing interested potential customers your handy work and recommending your services.
