Gas Line Installation in Highland Park, IL
Running a new gas line for a range, dryer, generator, fireplace or outdoor kitchen? Our plumbers are licensed for gas work, handle the permit and pressure-test every line before we call it done. Serving Highland Park and the North Shore.
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.
Dryers
A dedicated line for a gas dryer in the basement or laundry room.
Generators
Standby generators need a line sized for their full load.
Fireplaces and Inserts
New gas fireplaces or wood-to-gas conversions. See gas fireplace service.
Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pits
Grills, fire pits and patio heaters on a permanent line instead of a propane tank.
Water Heaters
Tankless units often need a larger line than the old tank. See tankless water heaters.
Our Gas Line Installation Process
Gas line work has to be right the first time. Here's how we handle it:
1. Plan and Size
We look at the appliance, the distance from the meter and your existing lines to size the new line correctly.
2. Permit
Most gas line work needs a permit. We handle it as part of the job, so you don't have to.
3. Install to Code
We run the line, make the connections and install shutoff valves where code requires them.
4. Pressure Test
We pressure-test the line and check every connection before the appliance goes into service.
Gas Line Installation in Older Highland Park Homes
Nearly half of Highland Park homes were built before 1960, and about 1 in 4 before 1940. Adding a gas appliance to an older home usually means looking at more than the new run.
Original Black Iron Piping
Many older homes still run on original black iron or steel gas piping. Before we tie a new line into it, we check the existing piping and fittings for corrosion and leaks.
Capacity for What You're Adding
A generator, tankless heater or outdoor kitchen can push an older system past what it was sized for. We check that your service can handle the new load.
