Our Gas Line Services
New Gas Line Installation
Installing gas lines for new appliances requires proper sizing, safe routing, code-compliant connections, and pressure testing. We install gas lines for gas ranges and cooktops, gas dryers, tankless water heaters, furnaces and heating systems, gas fireplaces and logs, outdoor grills and fire pits, pool and spa heaters, and generators.
Our plumbers size gas lines correctly to deliver adequate gas volume to each appliance, route lines safely through walls and spaces, use approved materials and fittings, make secure, leak-free connections, and test thoroughly for safety.
Gas Line Extensions
Adding a gas appliance to a room that doesn’t have gas service? We extend existing gas lines to new locations, ensuring proper sizing and safe installation. Whether you’re adding a gas range to your kitchen, installing a gas fireplace in your living room, or setting up an outdoor kitchen, we provide complete gas line extension services.
Gas Line Repair
Gas line problems require immediate professional attention. We repair damaged gas lines, leaking connections, corroded pipes, and improperly installed lines. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home immediately and call us or your gas company emergency line. Once the situation is safe, we’ll repair the problem properly.
Gas Leak Detection
Gas leaks are dangerous and require prompt detection and repair. Signs of gas leaks include the distinctive “rotten egg” smell (mercaptan added to natural gas), hissing sounds near gas lines or appliances, dead vegetation near underground gas lines, and physical symptoms like nausea, headaches, or dizziness.
We use professional leak detection equipment including electronic gas detectors and soap bubble testing to locate leaks precisely. Once found, we repair leaks immediately to restore safety.
Gas Pressure Testing
Gas systems must maintain proper pressure for appliances to operate correctly and safely. We perform pressure testing to verify system integrity, ensure adequate gas supply to appliances, detect small leaks, and confirm proper gas pressure throughout your system.
Pressure testing is essential after any gas line work and recommended periodically for older systems.
Propane to Natural Gas Conversion
If natural gas service has become available in your area and you currently use propane, converting can save money long-term. Conversion involves installing new gas lines from the street connection, removing or repurposing propane tanks, converting or replacing appliances for natural gas, and ensuring proper venting and combustion.
We handle complete propane to natural gas conversions, coordinating with gas companies and ensuring all work meets code requirements.
Gas Appliance Installation Support
While we don’t install the appliances themselves, we provide the gas line connections required for professional appliance installation. We work with appliance installers, contractors, and homeowners to ensure proper gas hookups.
Gas Line Materials We Use
Black Iron Pipe
Traditional black iron (black steel) pipe is the most common material for gas lines. It’s extremely durable, widely approved by codes, suitable for all gas pressures, and time-tested for reliability. We use black iron pipe for most residential gas line installations.
Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST)
CSST is a flexible stainless steel tubing that’s easier to route through walls and spaces than rigid pipe. It’s approved by codes, requires fewer fittings than rigid pipe, and speeds installation in some situations. We use CSST when appropriate for your installation.
Copper Pipe
In some jurisdictions and applications, copper pipe is approved for gas lines. Copper requires different techniques than black iron and isn’t universally approved for gas service. We follow local codes regarding copper gas lines.
Polyethylene (PE) Pipe
For underground gas lines outside your home, PE pipe is often used. It resists corrosion, is flexible for underground routing, and is approved for buried gas service. We use PE pipe for underground gas line installations when appropriate.
Gas Line Safety
Why Professional Gas Line Work Is Essential
Natural gas is safe when systems are installed and maintained properly, but gas leaks or improper installations create serious dangers including fire and explosion risks, carbon monoxide poisoning from improper combustion, and asphyxiation in enclosed spaces.
Gas line work requires specialized knowledge, proper materials and techniques, pressure testing for leak detection, code compliance for safety, and licensed, trained professionals.
DIY gas line work is illegal in most jurisdictions and extremely dangerous. Always hire licensed professionals for any gas work.
Signs of Gas Line Problems
Be alert for these warning signs:
• Smell of natural gas (rotten eggs/sulfur)
– Hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines
– Dead or dying vegetation near underground gas lines
– White cloud or dust near gas lines
– Bubbles in standing water near buried gas lines
– Physical symptoms: nausea, headaches, dizziness, fatigue
– Higher than normal gas bills (suggesting leaks)
If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately, don’t use electrical switches or devices, don’t try to locate the leak yourself, call your gas company emergency line or 911 from outside, and call us once the emergency is resolved for professional repairs.
Regular Maintenance and Inspection
Gas systems benefit from periodic professional inspection including checking connections for leaks, inspecting visible gas lines for damage, testing gas pressure, verifying proper appliance combustion, and ensuring adequate ventilation.
We recommend gas system inspections every few years, especially in older homes.
Gas Line Installation Process
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
We discuss your gas line needs, determine which appliances need gas service, plan routing of gas lines, calculate required gas volume and proper sizing, and obtain necessary permits.
Step 2: Gas Line Sizing
Proper sizing is critical. Undersized lines starve appliances of gas; oversized lines waste money. We calculate required gas volume based on all appliances served, distance gas must travel, desired pressure at appliances, and future expansion possibilities.
Step 3: Materials and Preparation
We obtain appropriate materials including gas pipe or tubing, approved fittings and connections, gas shut-off valves, and pressure testing equipment.
Step 4: Professional Installation
We install gas lines following all codes and safety protocols including routing lines safely through walls or spaces, properly supporting pipes to prevent stress, installing shut-off valves at appropriate locations, making secure, approved connections, and protecting lines from damage.
Step 5: Pressure Testing
After installation, we conduct thorough pressure testing by pressurizing the system above normal operating pressure, monitoring for pressure drops indicating leaks, using soap solution to check all connections, and verifying complete system integrity.
No gas is introduced until testing confirms zero leaks.
Step 6: Connection and Final Testing
We connect to your main gas supply, verify proper pressure at all appliances, test appliances for proper ignition and combustion, and ensure everything operates safely.
Step 7: Inspection and Approval
Gas line work requires municipal inspection in most jurisdictions. We coordinate inspections and ensure approval before considering work complete.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Line Services
How much do gas line services cost?
Costs vary widely based on project scope, line length, materials required, and installation complexity. Simple appliance hookups cost less than complete home gas systems. We provide detailed estimates for your specific project after assessing your needs.
Do I need permits for gas line work?
Yes, virtually all gas line installation and modification requires permits. We handle permit applications as part of our service. Permits ensure inspections verify work is safe and code-compliant.
Can I install gas lines myself?
No. Gas line work is extremely dangerous if done improperly and is illegal without proper licensing in most areas. DIY gas work risks explosions, fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and death. Always hire licensed professionals for gas work.
How do I know what size gas line I need?
Gas line sizing is complex, based on total BTU requirements of all appliances, distance from gas meter, desired pressure, and future expansion. Our professionals calculate proper sizing to ensure adequate gas delivery to all appliances.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Evacuate immediately, don’t use any electrical switches or devices (including light switches and phones), don’t try to locate the leak, call your gas company emergency line or 911 from outside your home, and wait for emergency responders to declare it safe before re-entering. Then call us for repairs.
How long does gas line installation take?
Simple appliance hookups take a few hours. Complete home gas systems or major projects may take 1-3 days. Timing depends on project scope and inspection scheduling.
Can you convert my home from propane to natural gas?
Yes! We handle complete conversions including new gas line installation, appliance conversion or replacement coordination, and system testing. We’ll help you understand what’s involved and provide detailed pricing.
Do gas lines need regular maintenance?
Gas lines don’t require frequent maintenance like some systems, but periodic inspections are wise—especially in older homes. We recommend professional inspection every few years to check for leaks, corrosion, or damage.
What’s the difference between natural gas and propane?
Natural gas is delivered through utility lines and paid monthly like electricity. Propane is stored in tanks and refilled periodically. Natural gas is typically less expensive over time where available. The gases have different pressures and BTU ratings, so appliances must be configured for whichever fuel you use.
