Taranaki born and bred... we love it here!
We have a very fulfilling life with our children, grandchildren and our lifestyle block.
We are passionate about what we do and are proud of our work.
Woodburners have been the primary focus for former builder AJ for the past 30 years, having previously worked for another installation company he took an independent path in 2009 when AJ decided to become self-employed, with a little bit of encouragement from Linda as she already had her own painting decorating business.
At the same time he took on the Taranaki Hometech Solatube Franchise and later acquired the Taranaki Agency for Aluminium Artistry Gates and Fence Panels.
Check out our online store here for wood fires, accessories and more.
We offer a full process of installation starting from consultation and site measures to building consents and finally the installation of your new or secondhand Woodfire.
We can supply:
All Woodfire flue components and parts.
Heat transfer kits to take excess hot air to other rooms can be installed including electrical.
Any make or model of Woodfire.
Servicing Your Woodfire
All Woodfires should be serviced annually or bi-annually – this includes inspection of bricks, baffles and door ropes. These should be replaced as they can reduce the efficiency of your Woodfire. They can be replaced as required.
We can also provide a chimney clean if needed. We offer pre-winter inspections for peace of mind and also if purchasing a new home we can provide a full inspection of the fire and installation.
Durability certificates can be provided for second-hand fires.
We're really happy with our new Metro fireplace installed by Living Lifestyles. So far we've only used it twice as the weather has been quite warm but I'm sure we will enjoy it a lot next winter.
Big Thanks to AJ for stepping in at short notice to install my Metro Wood-fire, a quick and efficient service very much appreciated.
AJ and Hadlee did a wonderful job, they installed our new Woodsman Wood-fire and a 3-room transfer Kit. They made sure everything was fitted to our liking. measured and adjusted position to fit all regulations, and they cleaned up after themselves. AJ arranged for Nick the electrician to be at ours at the right time and day. As we had to re-arrange our install day (due to things outside either of our control) AJ sorted everything for us and had everything installed before Christmas as promised. I would highly recommend them to anyone installing a Wood-fire or transfer kit and would use them again at the drop of a hat.
So stoked with the job, all of you have been very professional. Thank-you so much, much appreciated.
We recently had a firebox installation and received excellent service from Living Lifestyles. AJ and Linda have been spot on with communication and response and have been really accommodating meeting our need. They did a great job and were very professional. Would not hesitate to use their service again.
We were very pleased with AJ and the team at Living Lifestyles. We had a Metro fire installed earlier this year which we are very happy with, latterly we had AJ fit solar tubes to our new roof. His team worked efficiently, speedily and professionally, they left a very tidy house and their workmanship was excellent. We would highly recommend Living Lifestyles to anyone needing their help.
We would like to thank you for an absolutely mint install. Also, we really appreciated the care you took of our property while working here.
We asked Living Lifestyles to help us replace a poor performing open fireplace. From the start the team demonstrated a clear understanding of our need and provided confidence that they knew what they were doing. AJ constantly communicated the steps which helped us plan around the decommissioning and installation activities, and where it didn’t work AJ accommodated our schedule. Living Lifestyles were able to supply the Metro Fire wood burner along with arranging the council permitting making the whole experience hassle free.
The new Metro Fire has exceeded expectations making our home a warm and inviting retreat. I highly recommend the professional services of AJ and Living Lifestyles.
Very impressed with AJ and his team for timely responses to my first enquiries and a very competitive quote after a free on-site consultation. AJ and his team were extremely professional, and tidy, and the installation looks great! Highly recommended.
Thank you AJ & Linda, another suberb job uninstalling our woodfire and relocating it in its new location. Such a professional outfit. PS the paint has made our fire look brand new.
We recently had woodbox replaced in our home. AJ and his team were nothing but polite and professional throughout the whole process from beginning to end, when installation of the flue became a problem was not an issue and AJs team fixed it with no issues
Thanks, AJ and the team for the new build installation of a Stovax Studio 3 at our farm property. A big job and completed efficiently and professionally in every respect. It looks great and we will unreservedly recommend you to others.

Absolutely rapt with the solar tube fitted today, I wish I had one fitted 4 years ago, it is a brilliant result.
AJ installed solar tubes in my bathroom toilet and shower area the transformation was absolutely amazing. night and day. I would totally recommend Solatube in an area where it needs more light. I'm absolutely stoked with them.
I am pleased with the tube it is amazing I walk into my kitchen and think I have left the light on, it is such a white light I am very impressed.
Thanks so much! Loving the Solatube and the professional service we received on the day.
AJ and the team recently fitted 4 Solatubes to our home. We are very satisfied with the service and product. Thanks guys.
