"Excellent experience with this company. We tried getting a hold of a different plumber 3 different times with no return call so when I was able to call J&L, talk to someone right away & schedule my service, I was ecstatic. The 2 guys that came were very polite, friendly and professional. They fixed our issue quickly & efficiently. It was a leak in our upstairs shower, so they did have to cut a hole in our ceiling to access the pipe & while they don't repair the hole, they took the drywall down neatly & were able to put it back up so it just requires a little bit of patching. I would definitely recommend them & will call them back the next time I have a plumbing issue."

Heavenly Heat Infrared Saunas are made for the chemically sensitive. That means that our infrared saunas create an ideal, safe, and effective detoxification environment for anyone seeking to eliminate toxic substances from their body.

"Terrible! Wish I had gone with another company. Here is the issue with Heavenly Heat. If your sauna arrives damaged or and issue arrives -- they have zero technical support. Your repairs will be done by any "joe" that heavenly heat finds to do the repair in your area. They will have no experience with Sauna's and are given no instructions regarding the chemical free aspect of these sauna's. The worst part is the buyer, me, was treated as if I was the problem for wanting my sauna repaired correctly. I would have refused the delivery had I realized I was receiving a damaged sauna and would have to spend hours and days trying to get this resolved. The owner, Bob Morgan, is extremely responsive before he has your money but after, is a different story. When inquiring about the sauna he would respond generally within 10 minutes. After you purchase, and particularly if you have a problem with it, you are treated as if you're a nuisance. My sister bought a competitors sauna around the same time and the service she received from knowledgable representatives was a world of difference from my experience. My other issue was that there were shipping delays and Bob would never communicate them. I would have to pursue him to get information. I think they make a decent sauna but I would not recommend for reasons stated above."

"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for. Just going in circles with them and FedEX. If they shipped after 14 days it would be 22 days from that point, 32 days from the date of order if they shipped it that day.

Every family’s needs will be different, but here’s a general guide to refrigerator size:

A 4—to 13 cu. ft. fridge, including top-freezer and bottom-freezer fridges, is best for one to two people.
14—to 24-cu. ft. fridges, including bottom freezers, top freezers, French door fridges, and side-by-side fridges, are best for a family of three to four people.
For families with five or more people, look for a fridge of 25 cu. ft or more. This includes all fridge types.
