Adding Gas to an Older Chicago Building
A new appliance in a century-old building is usually tied into piping that has been extended many times. Before adding a branch, we check that the existing line can carry the new load along with the furnace and water heater on the same meter. In a two-flat, we make sure we're on the right unit's system. The City of Chicago may require a permit for the work, and we'll handle it where it does.
What Affects the Price of a New Gas Line
The route through an older building and the distance from the right meter matter most. Outdoor lines and upper floors take more work. City permits may apply. We plan the route and quote one flat price.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."

"Update: 6/6/25: Manager Damien called within the hour and rectified situation. Thank you for accomodating. The scheduling process was an absolute mess. I filled out the online form and began texting with their team on the morning of Wednesday, 6/4/25, to arrange an evening appointment. I was told Friday evening, 6/6/25, was available. Based on the text exchange, it seemed the appointment was confirmed. [...]"
