Verified Reviewer New ReviewerAvalon Astoria Bay Problem
About a week ago my Avalon Astoria Bay free standing pellet stove lost power to the control board and the room filled with smoke. To get it running again I moved around the wiring harness and the control board door and it came back on. 2 days later this happened again and has been becoming more frequent as the week went on. Last night I tried bypassing the main 120 v input supply fuse. I ran the stove and 30 minutes later the same thing happened except that this time i found that the control board fuse had blown and i couldn't get the stove started due to that. I jumped out the fuse holder on the board to get rid of the smoke in the stove and then i let it shut down. Is this a control board issue?

Gas fireplace remote stopped working
Still have not heard back from the company. It's been more than three days. Remote unit is less than 4 years old and has not been dropped or abused.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerTravis does not back their own warranty
Travis/Lopi does not stand behind their warranty. I spent just shy of $5000.00 for a top of the line Lopi Woodburning stove. I was advised I was getting a 'deal' as the optional fan cover plate had been broken out when shipped to the store - I was getting a fan so that was fine. I saw the unit in factory wrapping and was not able to see the actual unit. the unit was shipped and arrived in a van with no way to unload it much less put it in my home. Andrew Leonard the owner told me I should 'borrow a forklift from my neighbour.' Seriously? I was forced to find options which cost me in having to pay a local business to finish the delivery. I gave a hundred of the apparent balance due to the neighbour to complete the delivery. When I unpacked the stove it was clear it went through no inspection at the retailer. The interior was filled with smashed firebricks, and some exterior damage. I contacted Andrew whose only concern was an additional 100 dollars. As for the broken part he said he would deliver them 'when he next was in my area.' (We are about 60 miles away.) This has never happened. I contact Lopi in the US who refused to intervene and back the product (despite warranty) saying this was their best dealer in Ontario. (I presume that means who they make the most money off of.) Lopi failed to take any responsibility. Mr. Leonard is a fast talking salesman, refused to solve this in writing and now almost 3 months later has avoided solving this mess which was clearly of his making. I would strongly encourage anyone to reconsider doing business with the organization or purchasing Lopi products as their warranty is useless as they only refer back to incompetent dealers.
User's recommendation: ALWAYS use a well-reviewed retailer if purchasing Travis/Lopi products as the manufacturer will not back warranties.

Pellet stove not working
No one answered the phone. We cleaned our pellet stove and now the pellets won't drop. The auger is working. Loretta

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerLook elsewhere!
I bought a top of the line fireplace. 3 months from install the paint was flaking and falling off exposing rust underneath. I contacted for help and was told I had to sand and paint it myself. Seriously!?! Do not buy this product unless you want to become a fireplace maker yourself!

I own a Travis Avalon DVL GSR2 NB Gas fireplace
I am very disappointed with the quality of the unit and the lack os service. The unit worked well for the first 4 years. It stopped working. I have had a service representative in that confirmed the electrical and gas lines are fine. The unit power box was replaced, fuses replaced and fresh batteries. Still no fan, no light. Unit goes on but the flame is not strong and the blower does not work. I have spent $800 in service repairs and still do not have a working unit. The lack of support from the local retail carrier is quite a disappointment. Avalon DVL GSR2 NB

Phone App Request
Would it be possible for you to hire an app developer to write a controller app for my new DVL 34? I see a number of manufacturers available in Google play store. This, and a little integration with the Lutron Caseta Wireless lighting controller which currently include three wireless thermostats, blinds, etc. would bring you into the world of home integration. A great product, but it is now 2020. ;) Thanks! I'm not pissed, but this is the only way to contact you.

Customer support is no good
Trying to repair a pioneer stove, and had a few questions' your web site says it has troubleshooting' so I sent you an email with my question, you then send me back an email with a useless link, so I must assume once you sell a stove and the warranty is up then your done with that customer?

The only thing more underwhelming about this product is the customer service. Referred back to the dealer that is equally as useless. Complete waste of money...buyer beware!

No costumer service department at ALL!
1/17/2019 This company is in the business of selling units. They do not even have a costumer service department! Glen in their tech support is who you are directed to when you have a problem. Glen is an unhappy AS5H01E, he was no help what so ever and told me it was my problem. All I needed to know is where I could purchase a blower for my grandparents stove. This is their only source of heat and it has been broken for a week and every dealer I have contacted says 2-3 weeks lead time. Again this company is trash and Glen is an unhelpful A55.

For example, removing prohibited words from the message or sending the message from a different email account may be sufficient to deliver your message. If you've tried and you're still not able to fix the problem, consider contacting the email admin at travisindustries.com to discuss what to do. While they're unlikely to remove or relax the rule, if you have a legitimate need to deliver your message they may offer guidance for how to do so.

I agree, mine starts up like a bomb exploding. I had the dealer aout about 8 times over the first year and finally they replaced the main burner that apparently had a crack in it.
Now, 2 year later, it has apparently cracked again. This has to be a faulty design.
