"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."

Winthrop Fuel Company is Central Maine's leading full service heating oil and propane company. We offer heating oil and propane delivery, repair, installation and emergency services.
"I applied for fuel as a tenant and they saw on the application that I was sisters with the property management and sister inlaw to the landlord. They couldn't get in touch with the landlord or manager so they called ME about a vacant unit in the building that was "dangerously low". I just moved from Savannah Georgia and have zero clue who lives here and why I should get a call from a fuel company about my neighbor. Nor should they use me to get in touch with the landlord. SUE WAS INSANELY RUDE WHEN I TRIED TO TELL HER TO CALL MANAGEMENT. SHe couldn't be bothered to hear why I was telling her to call management not me. Instead she wanted to know the address and my unit which didn't matter, mine wasn't in question! Her sharp remarks were enough for me to say, nope, bye. If you move from out of state, expect to get paperwork by mail, return it by mail or be brave and do it in person and get the worst customer experience ever. My fiance was ignored and as he said, "it's like they can't be bothered". I was born in Lewiston and left for Georgia 18 years ago, and expected better, but nothing has changed in this state. Winthrop fuel is terrible and I don't understand why mainers put up with this nonsense."

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.
