Call (727) 382-8599Gas work is not a place to guess
Gas line installation and repair carries real safety stakes that ordinary plumbing repairs don't, which is why it's licensed and inspected separately under the Florida Fuel Gas Code. Every gas line we install or repair is pressure tested before the gas is turned on, without exception.

CALL NOW(727) 382-8599New appliances and outdoor gas needs
Adding a gas range, a tankless water heater, a pool heater, or an outdoor kitchen often means extending an existing gas line or increasing its capacity to handle the additional appliance load. We size the line correctly for the combined demand of everything connected to it, not just the new appliance in isolation.
If you smell gas
A gas odor is not something to wait on. Leave the property, avoid anything that could create a spark, and call your gas utility's emergency line first, then a licensed plumber for the repair once the utility has confirmed it's safe to proceed. We treat gas leak calls as the priority they are.
Working with your gas utility during installation or repair
Depending on the scope of the work, gas line projects sometimes require coordination with your gas utility provider, particularly for meter-related work or new service connections. We handle that coordination as part of the project rather than leaving you to manage separate conversations with the utility.
For homes converting from electric to gas for a specific appliance, we also assess whether the existing gas meter and service size can support the additional load before beginning any line work, since undersizing the supply is a common and preventable mistake.
Gas Line Installation & Repair at a glance
| Project | What's involved |
|---|---|
| New gas range or cooktop | Line extension or connection, pressure test |
| Pool heater or outdoor kitchen | New line run, sizing for appliance BTU load |
| Tankless water heater conversion | Often a larger gas line than the previous tank required |
| Suspected leak or damaged line | Locate, repair, full pressure test before use |
A new tankless water heater installation often needs a larger gas line than the old tank required, which is worth confirming alongside tankless water heater.
QUESTIONS
Common questions about gas line installation & repair
What should I do if I smell gas in my house?
Leave the property immediately, don't operate any switches or create a spark, and call your gas utility's emergency line first. Once they've confirmed it's safe, we can handle the repair.
Do you need a permit for gas line work?
Yes, gas line installation and most repairs require a permit and inspection under the Florida Fuel Gas Code, which we handle as part of the job.
Can my existing gas line handle a new appliance?
It depends on the line's current size and what else is already connected. We calculate the combined BTU demand before confirming whether the existing line is adequate or needs upsizing.
Is it safe to install a gas line myself?
No. Gas line work should only be done by a licensed professional, given the real safety risk of an improperly sealed connection, and it legally requires permitting and inspection regardless.
Do you test gas lines after installation?
Every time, without exception. A gas line is pressure tested before any appliance is connected or the gas is turned on.
Do you coordinate with the gas utility company directly?
Yes, when the project requires it, including meter-related coordination or confirming service capacity before installation begins.
Can my house be converted from electric to gas for one appliance?
Often yes, though it depends on whether gas service already reaches the property and what the existing meter and line can support. We assess that as part of any conversion estimate.
How long does gas line pressure testing take?
A standard pressure test typically takes under an hour once the line is installed, and we won't connect any appliance or turn the gas on until that test confirms the line holds pressure correctly.
Do you handle propane lines as well as natural gas?
Yes, we work with both propane and natural gas systems, sizing and testing each according to its own specific code requirements.
Do older New Port Richey homes commonly need gas line upgrades?
Some older homes have smaller-diameter gas lines than modern appliances require, particularly when adding a higher-BTU appliance like a tankless water heater or outdoor grill, which we check before any installation.
