Seems like customer service is only good when there isnt an issue...We purchased a gas fireplace from NW Natural through a designer (recommended by NW Natural) and have been going through the install. There has unfortunately been a few small errors with all parties involved regarding this install. As we have been trying to figure out the main issue with this fireplace/install the sales contact and floor manager at NW Natural have been less than professional - to put it nicely. While our contractor and designer have been open and have been taking responsibility for issues, NW Natural has been defensive and not constructive in helping figure out the issues. In fact, the actual order for the fireplace had an error, which likely could have been a mistake from the NW Natural employee placing the order. They spent most of the time blaming the contractor and werent willing to look very deeply on their end to help figure out what may have gone wrong. Had they simply just looked at the details of the sales order, the issue would have been obvious. My partner finally went to NW Natural with our contractor today (taking the day off of work) to try to understand/resolve the issue. The floor manager actually said that he didnt see us as the customer - as the fireplace purchase was through the designer (thus the designer was the customer, not us as the end user). He also made unprofessional comments about our contractor and was moderately helpful with the problem. We did finally figure out the root cause and have a path forward, but the level of customer service from the NW Natural personnel was definitely poor and an unpleasant experience.

We visited the NW Natural Appliance Center twice in our quest to figure out a new gas fireplace insert and had great experiences both times. Matthew got us started and Christine answered our many questions (kindly and patiently!) and took our order. The showroom is really helpful in terms of allowing you to see different options for gas inserts. I recommend starting here for anyone in Portland looking for fireplace inserts (and probably anything else that uses natural gas).

Solid customer service from a personable team. Ordering and scheduling a pickup was a snap. They assembled my new grill, at no cost, and had it ready in a little over a day and provided a thorough overview of the new grill. When a snafu at pickup occurred they went about fixing it immediately. I was on may way home to BBQ in no time.

Excellent service, and a variety of options were offered. Would recommend to everyone needing their gas fireplace to be brought up to code, or completely replaced.

Excellent, excellent customer service!! Purchased a gas fire place insert at this center many years ago and the customer has not changed. Installers, superb with a great personality. I have one more appliance to convert to gas and will be planning this with rep at nw natural appliance center.

Horrible service ! I hope if I ever get my product that it is not as substandard as the customer service has been. Bought a stove in April. Was assured that they had a certain number of that stove coming in with an estimated arrival of May 14. That worked perfect for my project. Now on May 25, I call to check when I can pick up my stove and I am told it wont be here until June 25th. I have received no notice from the company prior to me calling 10 days after it should have been there only to find out its delayed more than a month. I get the delays due to Covid but it is the lack of communication and initial sales pitch that there were a certain number coming in which forced me to make a deposit to get one of those locked in that are very troubling to me. And now nothing but excuses. No action to get my stove here any sooner. All while my project is on hold.

Since the last ice storm, we wanted to convert our fireplace to a gas insert. Primary reason was to have an additional heat source before the next storm. We went to NW Natural Appliance Center to sort out the options and decide what we wanted to do.Patrick answered all our questions and put us in touch with a contractor.We are looking forward to our new fireplace and heat source.

Suzie was great throughout the process. She was able to help my wife and I locate the right fireplace for our home and pick options that made sense for us.The best feeling is not being pressured. It was a comfortable process and we felt like it was a partnership.We are really excited to have our new unit installed for the holidays.

I was shopping for a gas insert for an existing wood burning fireplace, and called to make a viewing appointment at NW Natural. I was connected with Trevor, who answered my questions, and didnt try to upsell (and in fact helped me evaluate features realistically based on my own preferences and needs). He generated a reasonable quote with a credit, and provided contact information for as many installers as I requested without pressuring me to go with a specific one. Overall a positive experience. Very pleased with the product and experience.

What do you do when your built in outdoor grill is completely rusted out and grilling season is right around the corner? EASY! Call Trevor at NW Natural Appliance Center. What a great experience! He was a great listener, positive and upbeat (without being overbearing or upselling), provided me with a range of choices based on my budget, connected me with an installer to make sure all measurement were accurate and away we go! Skip the the big retail stores and call Trevor at NW Natural Appliance - youll be in good hands!! 👍🏼😊

Have purchased multiple appliances, beyond standard heating/gas, and continue to find NNG staff and products outstanding. This morning, after 7 years of frequent use of a Gas insert, the unit’s pilot stopped lighting the main burner. Although I tried traditional efforts of common sense, user manual, and online research, I hit a wall and called NNG. “Mathew” quickly and politely listened to me describe the challenge and symptoms, asked a couple of clarifying questions, then proceeded to offer a simple solution that I could handle and within 5 minutes all was well. The cleaning of the sensors inside the unit were easy to access and then I could file off the buildup that naturally occurs over 7 years. Saved a service call, unnecessary parts, and got room warmed up in minutes. Thank you NNG and Mathew! Appreciate your great service during these challenging times.

We tried to purchase a KitchenAid appliance from NW Natural Appliance Center in order to avoid purchasing from a big box store. When I called to ask about the appliance the employee who answered didnt know about the model I asked about and made it clear that they generally only deal in high end appliances, i.e. Meile and Fisher and Paykel. However, the store lists KitchenAid as a brand they carry, so I asked that someone return my call.I never received a call back, so called again. The employee who answered said they did not have the item in stock, and it would take 5 to 6 months to get it. She said I should just go to a big box store to purchase the appliance.Long story short, dont use NW Natural for KitchenAid purchases. And not sure I would use them for anything else. Two stars for being honest about wait time.

We could not be happier with NW Naturals Appliance Center! Both Dan and Christine were incredibly helpful along the way and made sure that everything was perfect. It was so apparent that they truly value their customers and want to ensure their happiness. We definitely would recommend them and will use them again for any future appliance needs.

Refreshingly easy and helpful experience. I have been dealing with a headache of a kitchen remodel and had been communicating with so many different contractors and sellers. Trevor N. with NW Natural Appliance Center was a real breath of fresh air. He walked me through all my options and really listened to my ideas. I was most impressed with his follow through and how quickly he would get back to me with requested information. I would not hesitate to work with him again.

We saw the NW appliance Center ad in the paper and decided to finally check out a gas fireplace insert. Christine asked about what we were looking for and showed us our options. She also explained the features and options for each insert. After making our decision, Christine set us up with an installer which too care of the whole process...disposal of old wood insert, permits, install of new insert and inspectins. Very easy and smooth process. Highly recommend the appliance center and Christine.

I was very impressed with the service I received here. I worked with Patrick in purchasing a fireplace insert. He was knowledgeable, not pushy, helped me with getting a good price on the system I ordered and followed through with the whole process. I had a problem with the fan not functioning properly and they got service for me right away for that. The process was seamless with them coordinating the installation with the company they use, which also went really well. I would highly recommend them.

NW Natural Appliance, and Trevor Narvasa our sales rep, were excellent to work with! Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and really listened to what we wanted to do with our space. We arrived prepared with rough, yet detailed measurements and pictures. From there, Trevor was genuinely patient while we determined the design and functional needs we desired and was within our budget. Our installation hasnt been completed yet, however if that level of service is equivalent to what Trevor has provided so far, this will have been an exceptional experience.

I was looking for a propane grill (and didnt even know that natural gas was different than propane, which they set me straight on), and was led to purchase an amazing grill with an infrared insert. I definitely learned a lot and got more than I was looking for, at a great price and in less time than I expected. No high pressure tactics and lots of information were on hand. Highly recommended!

NW Natural Appliance has excellent customer service. Three years after buying an appliance from them I contacted them since the appliance had defective parts and needed a major repair but it was outside of the warranty period. They quickly followed up with the manufacturer and I was not charged for the repair. They care about their customers.

We stepped from the 90 degree day into the cool showroom at NWN to select inserts for two wood-burning fireplaces. A knowledgeable and very patient sales rep, Pat, helped us select two attractive models, pointing out unexpected advantages of gas inserts. He was familiar with his product and patient enough to explain again (and again) when numbers and styles started whirling in our heads. We came home satisfied that our choices were good, and that starting the work during this hot time of year will give us two cozy fireplaces from the first cold day this fall.

Looked at several gas grill sellers in the PDX area. Ultimately went with NW natural. So glad we did. Worked with Mathew and got a great new grill! I cross threaded the regulator during install. New grill and no way now no way to use it. This is during Covid lock down mind you. Their office not open. Mathew took a couple of panic calls from me (he was working from home ) and then he personally dropped off a new regulator to our door step! Wow what customer service! The grill install done and it is amazing as well. #blazegrills #NWnaturalforthewin

Trevor Narvasa was extremely helpful to me. I am installing a Heat N Glo gas fireplace that I purchased a few years ago. When I opened the box that was supposed to hold the fireplace front plate, I found the wrong item that does not fit my fireplace. The store where I purchased the appliance is out of business, and I thought I was totally stuck. Trevor found an adapter kit that will allow me to use current fronts with my fireplace. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and a great communicator. Thanks Trevor!

Our sales rep Trevor was very knowledgeable on his products. Our selection was not feasible due to specification on installation and Trevor had given us a second gas insert if the first selection did not hold to specifications. We did select the alternative gas insert, Roosevelt 29, which is brand new. My only issue is this gas insert did not have any options for the trim (copper) which would have been ideal for making this new gas insert more appealing to consumers.

I purchased a fireplace from here in October of 2014. Shortly after being professionally installed (approx. 6 months) the unit would not start. NWN sent someone out to service it, it started working again. Since then they have been out an additional 3 other times for the same issue and refuse to replace it. Today I woke up to it once again not starting! This is five times in 2 years! Paid over $4k for this unit. Go anywhere else follow up service is awful product they are supplying is garbage......
