"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."

Gas Logs questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on furnace size, ductwork modifications, labor, and efficiency ratings of the chosen system.

In some ways, yes, and in some ways, no. As for how they’re the same, propane and gas both burn via the same process, combustion, and at the same temperature, around 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. The difference is that propane produces more heat per unit than gas. One cubic foot of propane contains 2,516 BTU, while one cubic foot of gas contains 1,030 BTU.

The biggest disadvantage of propane is that heating systems and appliances powered by propane tend to cost more than gas-powered ones. Propane is also dangerous since it can create frostbite if it touches the skin and can easily combust if mishandled. It’s also quite cumbersome to buy or replace propane tanks, so many people choose to have propane delivered to their homes—an extra cost and logistical challenge that can be a headache.

Yes, you can store a propane tank, whether it is full or empty. Remember that the container is contaminated with hazardous materials once it has housed propane, but as long as it’s properly placed in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled space, a tank is unlikely to cause issues whether it is full of propane or not. 

This is a matter of personal preference, as each method has its own pros and cons. Oil furnaces are safer, but the smell can be off-putting to some consumers. Oil is also more expensive than gas. However, oil furnaces boast a higher BTU rate per hour, so a smaller amount of oil can heat a larger space when compared to a gas furnace.
