Light My Fire

I have a Mendota fireplace that stopped working. I had a Worry Free contract with PSEG, so I called them. They diagnosed the problem to be a defective gas valve ...but was unable to fix it. I then called LNMto take a look at it....which i should have done in the first place. THey installed mu=y fireplace about 15 years ago!. Maintenance call was scheduled and John, who is an owner AND does maintenance/repairs , did the work. He was thoroughly familiar with MENDOTA fireplaces. He did a full check of the fireplace and determined that the problem was the thermocouple. ..the gas valve did not need to be replaced. Since he was here, he suggested to also change the thermopile. He had both parts in his truck. John also rechecked my wireless controller and made sure code was working fine. John was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional, and the pricing was very fair. I would highly recommend them

Awesome experience. Frank at the shop got t know what I was trying to achieve and then offered several models and options in dff price points. Melissa returned my phone calls and coordinated verything. John the owner and installer was great. He was on time, extremely neat, and thorough. It's been an absolute pleasure working with LMF and I'd recommend them to anyone.

WOW, WOW, WOW.  I could not be happier with the way this job turned out.  The work was meticulous and performed on time.  It was a pleasure dealing with John, Frankie, and Melissa.  Just wish I had another fireplace to remodel.

Everything from the initial sales visit to the final inspection went very well.  John, the owner and installer was very fast, efficient and competent.  Final gas and fire inspections were no problem.

John, Melissa, and the rest of the staff were amazing.  From sale to install their attention to customer's needs cannot be beat. 
When my boyfriend and I first went into the store the salesman (has been there 10+years) was perfect ? he took the time to ask us what our desires were and why we chose gas vs. a wood burning and was very honest about the positives and negatives of each, and then the positives and negatives of each unit they sold.  He even let us back in after closing time, with our workweek hours making it there by 6 was not possible, to look at the unit we liked one more time prior to purchasing.
 Once we decided on a unit, the same salesman asked our location (Bergen County), and immediately advised us that our inspector was especially strict and exactly what we need to do in order to have the install ready for hosting Christmas Eve. 
John and team met every promise they made to us, even from letting us know they would be there to install at 8am and actually showing up at 8am unlike almost any other contractor I have ever encountered.  There was a minor issue with the inspection
and not to our surprise John called the inspector and made another (very timely) visit to our house to ensure we were able to enjoy our fireplace for the holidays.
 The unit is fabulous and, although it is not sold by Light My Fire as a heating element, it certainly does give off a lot of heat.  We could not be happier with the whole process.
Thank you Light My Fire!

It went very well.

My wife and I bought a new home and wanted to convert our wood burning fireplace to gas burning. I saw the recommendations from past customers on Angie's list and decided to go with the company. I first went to visit the Paramus showroom and met Frank (the Sales Manager). He was very professional and friendly, giving me options in purchasing the proper unit and glass door covering. Within three days, John (the owner who does all the work) came over and fitted the gas fireplace within 45 minutes, and took measurements for the glass door cover. We are using the fireplace already (first day was chilly and rainy). The glass door will be installed in 5 weeks (it was custom ordered). We highly recommend the company and we are very happy with the work and product!

It went exceedingly well. They are very knowledgeable, proffessional, neat, efficient, punctual, and clean.

We decided we wanted a gas fireplace to warm up our living room and offset the high cost of our oil heat. I looked on Angie’s List and found a local dealer right in Paramus.

A quick drive and we were at the showroom. A very knowledgeable and polite sales person helped us and directed us to the proper size unit for our living space. The purchase and installation procedure was explained in detail and they even filed for the proper permits our town required.

2 weeks later the Owner arrived to install the unit, the owner John does all the installation, no sub-contractors, no crew. We were told he would arrive between 1:00 and 3:00 pm and he arrived exactly at 2:00 pm. He told us the install would take 4 hours and it took 4 hours.

After the inspections and approval he would be back to fire up the unit and show us all the features. The inspection went well and everything passed. The following week John showed up and in about an hour had the fireplace fired up and explained everything to us. Payment was conveniently made in 3 installments. A down payment at the store, the bulk of the payment at time of installation, and the final payment when all the work was complete and we were happy with the operation.

Everything went perfectly and our living room is now warmer and more cozy than ever.

We will be calling them again when we install heat on our pouch.

We went to their showroom and the salesman was very helpful and pleasant. The owner, who does all of the work, came to the house to take measurements and he was punctual and quick, put together the plan and submitted the building permits for us. When it was time for installation, he was again right on time and got the job done in ~4 hours which was what was expected. After the inspectors approved the work (which they did immediately) he came right out and turned on the fireplace. It's been working perfectly the last two weeks and we couldn't be happier with both the product and the installation. Everything went smoothly and there were no surprises in cost, time, etc.

They were here on time and did the work very professionally. They answered our question (sometime before we asked) in a pleasent professional way.

They had to demolish my old brick fireplace and reframe for new. Put in new gas fireplace box , new oak mantle, venting pieces. Installed shut-off valve and pressure tested gas line.
