Gas Line Installation in Columbus, OH
Adding a gas range, a standby generator, a fire pit or a new fireplace? We size the line and pressure-test every run before it goes into service. We make sure permits and inspections are handled where required. From our office on West Goodale Boulevard.
Gas Lines for Every Appliance
We run new gas lines and extend existing ones for:
Ranges and Cooktops
Switching from electric to gas, or moving the range in a kitchen remodel.
Standby Generators
A line sized for the generator's full load.
Grills, Fire Pits and Patio Heaters
A permanent line instead of swapping propane tanks.
Fireplaces and Inserts
New gas fireplaces or wood-to-gas conversions. See gas fireplace service.
Dryers
A dedicated line for a gas dryer in the basement or laundry room.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless units often need more gas than the old tank. See tankless water heaters.
Our Gas Line Installation Process
Gas work has to be right the first time:
1. Size the Line
We add up every gas appliance in the house, measure the run from the meter and size the new line to match.
2. Permit and Utility Marking
We make sure permits and inspections are handled where required, and before any outdoor digging we call OUPS (Ohio811) to mark buried utilities.
3. Install to Code
We run the pipe and install the shutoff valves code requires, inside or underground.
4. Pressure-Test
We pressure-test the line and check every connection before the appliance goes into service.
Gas Line Installation in Columbus Homes
Older Columbus homes were piped for a furnace, a water heater and maybe a range. Today's add-ons can ask a lot more of the system.
Capacity for New Appliances
A generator, a tankless heater and an outdoor kitchen can each pull a lot of gas. Add them to a system sized decades ago, and you may need a bigger line from the meter.
Tying Into Older Piping
Before we connect to original black iron piping, we check the existing pipe and fittings for corrosion and leaks.
Tight Lots and Brick Walks
On older lots near downtown, an outdoor line may have to route around brick walks, fences and close neighbors. We plan the path before we dig.
