Do you need a new line?
When a New Gas Line Makes Sense
Adding or moving a gas appliance means a new or bigger line:
- Switching to gas for a range or dryer
- Adding a generator, grill or fire pit
- Going tankless on a line that's too small
Our faith, our standard
Straight Answers Before We Run Pipe
We believe honest work honors God. Here is what that looks like.
We'll Tell You If Electric Makes More Sense
One dryer at the far end with no gas nearby? The line could cost more than the dryer.
One Price, Permit Included
Pipe, valves, permit and test in one written price. Find something new? We stop and ask.
Plumbing for a Greater Purpose
A portion of every job goes to a local ministry.
What to expect on install day
Before We Arrive
We check meter and pipe sizes, plan the route, and quote in writing, permit included.
During the Visit
We run the line and valve. Gas is off only for the tie-in, and we warn you first.
When We Leave
Pressure test, inspection if required, then gas on, appliance connected, pilots relit, joints leak checked.
How we size it
Sized for Everything on the Line
All your gas appliances share one meter or tank. Too small a pipe starves them.
- Sized for all appliances at once
- Shutoff valve at every new appliance
- Permit and pressure test handled
The honest limits
- Your meter or tank may need a supplier upgrade first
- For one far-off dryer, electric may cost less
Natural Gas vs Propane
| Natural gas | Propane | |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | Utility main | Tank on your land |
| Where | Mostly in town | Anywhere |
| Billing | Monthly meter | Pay per fill |
| Appliances | Natural gas setup | Propane setup or kit |
| Can run out | No | If not refilled |
New Gas Line Installation FAQs
How much does a new gas line cost?
For one appliance, most land between $450 and $1,650. Run length, attic or underground routing, and main line upsizing change it, so we look first and give one written number.
Do I need a permit for a new gas line?
Usually, yes. New lines are permitted, pressure tested and often inspected, and we check city or county rules before we quote.
Will a standby generator need a bigger line?
Often, yes, since a generator can burn more gas than everything else in the house. If the meter or tank is too small, we tell you before you buy.
Can I use a natural gas appliance on propane?
Many can, with the maker's conversion kit, but never hook one up unconverted. We check the label and convert it if the maker allows.
How long does a gas line install take?
A simple stove or dryer run is often done in a day. Long runs, buried lines and generators take longer, plus inspection time.
