"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."

Providing all areas of the Poconos with good reliable plumbing, drain cleaning, heating, and ac service at a fair price.
"Pete determined the pump needed to be changed. He changed it without advising us to pump the tank first. He charged $95 for first half hour, then $95/HR after that. He claimed a big company would have charged us double. Total for the pump and service was $655. He did a sloppy job, using plastic zip ties and the pump was not placed in the tank properly. We had to call him less than 2 weeks later. He came and removed debris from the pump, and did not charge us which was nice, however if the tank was pumped initially, there wouldn't be any debris. We had to call him again 2 weeks after than, at which time he charged us $142.50, and said if he had to come back, he would have to replace the pump. A month later, the alarm went off again (high level water). We decided to go with Allstate Septic, who had us pump the tank first, then came the next day and freed additional debris from the pump. They only charged $85 to come, plus project cost. They determined that the pump was not placed properly, and told us that the work that Pete did was sloppy. They removed and cleared the bottom of the pump and charged only $122. If you need any septic tank work, don't call PTS, call a septic company. Also, PTS claims to accept credit cards, however, Pete did not accept any credit cards, check or cash only, claiming he does not want to pay the credit card fees. Allstate also told us they would have charged us $450 for the pump, not $655. I would never hire him again, his work is sub par, and he is overpriced."

Heating oil, Kerosene, Diesel and Propane company. In business 30 years. Full service / emergency service service for Penny Wise customers.Commercial and Residential. Automatic Delivery, Budget programs and Service contracts. 24 hour on call service: open Saturday during the heating season. SHOWROOM
"Avoid this company at all costs. If I could give them zero stars I would. We have used them for two years and recently started their automatic delivery. The other day we noticed that the heat wasn’t working in our home while we were away. Look at the tank and it is at 0%. Despite auto refills they failed to come to the house for over two weeks. It was below 50 in our house and we have radiated propane heat, so the pipes are all through the walls. Tried to contact them by phone and email with no response. The owner and this company are so unprofessional and do not take accountability for their mistakes. Never use them."

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.
