The short answer: You shouldn’t.
The long answer is a bit more complex, but worth understanding.
First and foremost, propane installation and maintenance are not tasks to be taken lightly. Our team of experts has thousands of jobs under their belts, and they’re trained to get the job done safely and correctly for your Central Maine home. Handling repairs on fuel-burning equipment without the proper training is setting yourself—and your home—up for a potentially very dangerous situation.
The latest propane appliances are computer driven, making them incredibly “smart” and efficient. The flip side is that repairing them requires the advanced training that our team of service technicians has.
If you watch a quick video about what to do or try to repair a space heater, water heater, hearth or other appliance based on your knowledge of equipment from years gone by, you risk causing harm to the equipment, your home, or yourself and loved ones. This includes the risk of a carbon monoxide leak.

We will come out for a repair and to make recommendations on next steps in order to keep you and your family safe, and to ensure that your system is running as efficiently as possible.
