"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 Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

Before you hire a natural gas plumber, it’s a good idea to get quotes from multiple pros to find the best value. When speaking with prospective plumbers, ask them if they’re licensed to work with gas lines, what precautions they take to ensure safety during the project, and how to handle an emergency if there’s a leak after the job. You may also want to know about warranties or guarantees, additional costs, how to prep your home, and if you’ll need to relight your pilot lights.

Installing a gas line is no simple task. From start to finish, you’re looking at anywhere from six to 12 weeks to acquire the correct permits, dig a trench, and connect your appliances. Naturally, the longer the gas line, the longer it will take to complete. If your plumber needs to hire additional contractors to dig trenches and navigate around or remove obstacles, this could put you at the longer end of the timeframe. 

Once the land is prepped and licenses acquired, installing the actual line may only take a few days to a few weeks, weather permitting.

The best sealant for gas pipes is usually a pipe joint compound, or pipe dope. It creates a durable, leak-proof seal that is resistant to high pressure and vibrations, and it doesn’t break down like tape can. Yellow Teflon tape, or PTFE tape, can also be a good option and is a safe and reliable sealant for gas pipes when you or a pro apply it correctly.

It’s no secret that natural gas differs from propane, but you’re in luck—licensed plumbers can also install propane gas lines. When you speak to a gas plumber near you, be sure you specify that your project will be for propane gas, not natural gas. Propane lines are slightly different than natural gas lines, so clear communication is key to ensure that your project is completed without a hitch. 

A local natural gas plumber, gas fitter, or gas line specialist should fix gas leaks. Installing gas lines and connections improperly can lead to dangerous gas leaks and explosions. Only a certified plumber or gas line specialist should run gas lines. This is not a job to try out DIY skills, so hire a professional gas plumber or gas line specialist immediately to find the cause of the leak and fix it quickly.
