"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "

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."

Gas Logs questions, answered by experts

Local codes often mandate specific fittings, permits, and vent considerations for permitted function and safety, which are enforced by professionals.

Oil furnaces don’t emit poisonous or highly flammable gases, making them less dangerous in your home than gas furnaces because they have a much lower chance of combusting. An oil furnace does pose the risk of causing a fire if it tips over, but it is generally considered safer compared to a gas furnace.

Propane is more cost-efficient than natural gas on a per-unit basis because it produces twice as much heat energy as an equivalent amount of natural gas. But propane is not ideal if you already have a gas line installed. The best choice for your home depends on the efficiency of your appliances and the amount of installation required of your fuel choice.

The easiest way to empty a propane tank is to simply use it until no propane remains. If you’re short on time and need a faster solution, transfer the propane to another tank instead. Wear leather gloves to protect your hands, then connect the hoses from both propane tanks and seal them tightly. Turn the knob to open the supply tank valve on the full tank and let it run until the pressure pushes all the propane into the other tank. When all propane is transferred, remove the hose and seal each tank. 

No, you shouldn't cap a gas pipe with a compression fitting because they aren't designed for gas lines and can pose serious safety risks. Gas pipes require threaded caps that create a secure, leak-proof seal capable of handling gas pressure. Using a compression fitting could lead to dangerous gas leaks—a hazard you definitely want to avoid.
