Good buy

Cozy stoves who I purchased the stove from and who fitted it were brilliant. Stove looks good and has been much admired. Very easy to light. Only gripe is the air control lever is very stiff and often gets stuck. Have yet to use oven but top hobs work well.

Esse Customer Service is Long-Lasting.

The Customer Service and Engineers at Esse have been particularly helpful in 2025.
This is notable in that we bought our Esse Range Cooker in 2003 from Classic Range Cookers in Rugby.
As we did not have a suitable Chimney we purchased a GN Model with a Powerflue Extractor Fan. This Fan continued to run for 22years and then the Electronics gave up. None of the Maintenance Engineers could provide a solution.
So we phoned Customer Service and Engineers at Esse. They were very helpful and recommended Two Fan Manufacturing Companies in Denmark. Eventually we decided that we would have to purchase one of these rather expensive Systems. The problem then was in finding an Engineer who could both obtain and fit one.
Esse provided a Telephone Number for their Engineers. They were very patient and extremely Helpful. I phoned. My Heating Engineer, Richard Docherty Phoned. Our son Philip Canning who is the Future Projects Engineer at Ratcliffe Power Station phoned. The Fitting Engineer, Gary Lloyd also phoned. As a result of all these Contacts, Gary Lloyd (GNL) obtained and fitted an Exodraft Extractor Fan and Electronic Control System. Richard Docherty made the connections to the Esse GN Cooker.
The wonderful Result is that our 23 year old Esse GN Cooker works better than it ever did before, it is very much easier to control, as the Electronic system makes all the necessary changes.
The Total cost of the New Fan and Fitting was £2400 but it is supremely worth it, and should be recommended to all owners of Esss GN Cookers.
I can provide Contact Details of My Fitting Engineers if necessary. Many thanks to Esse for your concern for Customers.
