Algonquin homeowners invest in their homes, and gas lines are a common upgrade.
Most gas line calls we get from Algonquin are for patios and backyards: grills, fire pits and heaters.
Original gas lines in 1990s and 2000s homes were sized for the furnace, water heater and maybe a range. Adding several outdoor appliances can need a larger line.
We plan buried runs around irrigation lines, beds and patios and restore what we open.
Every new line is pressure-tested before it goes into service, and we tell you up front when a permit is needed.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully.
