What the work covers
- Gas piping for ranges and water heaters
- Gas piping for central heat
- Gas lines for outdoor kitchens and pool heaters
- Gas lines for standby generators
- Gas leak detection
Hurricane season is the reason many homes here have a standby generator, and a generator needs gas. We handle the gas line, the pad the generator sits on and the permit. The electrical side is coordinated with an electrician.
Adding an appliance is rarely as simple as teeing off the nearest pipe. A range, a tankless water heater and a pool heater each draw a different amount of gas, and the existing line has to be large enough to feed everything on it at once. That gets checked before any pipe goes in.
Gas work is done under a permit, and new piping has to pass a pressure test before it is put into service.
