"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

Automatic Delivery – Did you know the most efficient way to receive propane is through our Automatic Delivery service? With this service, you don’t have to call for a delivery, we deliver to you based on your propane needs. In many cases, customers who choose our Automatic Delivery option will reduce their propane price per gallon with our auto fill discount, and avoid untimely out of gas calls and special trip fees. Will Call Delivery – Some customers prefer to call us when they want a delivery. They may opt for the “will call” status because their financial situation or use of alternate heat sources. Using the percentage gauge on the tank the customer monitors the amount of gas left in the tank calls to schedule a delivery. Things to remember with Will Call: Minimum Delivery is 250 gallons, we require 3 business days to schedule deliveries, and there are delivery charges for out of gas/low gas/less than minimum/special deliveries. Budget Billing – The budget payment plan is simple. Your average or estimated yearly heating bill is calculated to determine your equal monthly payment. Payments are made monthly from July till June of the following year. At the end of the budget payment year, your account will be “cleared.” If you have a balance due, you will be billed for the remaining balance. If you have overpaid, the amount of the credit may be applied to the following year’s budget payment plan, or a refund check may be requested. Our budget payment plan allows you to maintain smaller monthly payments instead of larger invoices at the time of gas deliveries. Customers on our budget payment plan will also enjoy the convenience of our “KEEP FULL” delivery service. Our drivers will monitor your tank to ensure you do not experience the inconvenience or cost of running out of gas. When a delivery is made a yellow copy of your ticket will be left on your door. Keep these copies for your records. To remain on the plan, you must make payments monthly. Budget billing starts in July of each year. The sign up period ends June 30th. Customers wishing to sign up after that date may either make up payments from July or wait until the next budget year begins. Pre-Purchase - A second option we offer is a Pre-Purchase program in which you may purchase propane for the winter months in the Summer of that year at a fixed price. Our Pre-Buy price is usually set June 15th. We suggest purchasing gallons that would normally be delivered between late November thru early February. All Pre-Purchase contracts must be made between June 1st and Mid September of the year. You have 30 days from date of signed contract to pay for pre-purchase gas, and you have until May 31st to use the pre-purchase gallons.
"We just moved into our house in august and are new to using propane as a major source of energy. We had completely ran out of propane and didn’t notice. They were able to bring us a small amount to get us through until they were able to bring the big truck to completely fill our tank. They brought us propane at 8 pm to ensure we had it! They were extremely professional. Very quick on getting someone out to keep us warm in the 0 degree temperatures we are having."

A gas log fireplace should be inspected and serviced as needed once a year. Preventative maintenance can help keep your fireplace in working condition and save money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs on parts that could have been fixed sooner with a regular inspection.
The cost difference between a gas fireplace and a wood-burning fireplace depends on the type of wood-burning fireplace installed. The cost to install a gas fireplace tends to be cheaper than the cost to install a brick wood-burning fireplace. Installing a gas fireplace costs about $3,600 on average, whereas the cost to build a masonry wood-burning fireplace can go up to $30,000. The cost to install a wood-burning fireplace insert or stove can cost from $700 to $6,500, about the same as a gas fireplace on average.
The cost to repair a fireplace depends on the type, extent of repairs needed, and your location. The average cost to repair a fireplace varies depending on the part of the fireplace that needs work:
Firebox: $160–$2,500
Refractory panel: $200–$300
Hearth: $150–$800
Mantel: $500–$1,200
Pilot light: $100–$350
Igniter: $100–$150
Gas valve: $150–$300
Thermocouple: $75–$350
Thermopile: $75–$350
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
