Free Safety Inspection & Sizing Assessment
Before we install a single fitting, we inspect your home’s entire existing gas line infrastructure, determine the correct pipe size for your new appliance or feature, and identify any accessibility issues or code compliance concerns. Undersized piping starves an appliance of gas; oversized piping wastes materials and money. Proper sizing starts with a real BTU load calculation, not a guess — a furnace might draw 80,000 to 100,000 BTU, but a whole-home tankless unit can spike to 150,000–199,000 BTU on demand, so a line sized for a furnace can be badly undersized for a tankless retrofit on the same branch. We add up connected load, factor in developed length, and read the correct diameter off code sizing tables. When several appliances share a system, we also decide between a parallel manifold layout and a traditional series run.
- Complete inspection of existing gas lines, connections, and shutoff valves
- Pressure and flow rate testing at the meter to establish available capacity
- Sizing calculation based on your new appliance’s BTU requirements and existing load
- Pressure gauge reading at meter and all endpoints to identify bottlenecks
- Visual inspection for corrosion, leaks, improper connections, or code violations
- Assessment of routing options (through walls, under floors, exterior runs)
- Photos and documentation of current system condition and any concerns
- Detailed scope of work, materials list, and itemized cost estimate provided upfront
Permitting & Code Review
Gas piping installations require building permits in most jurisdictions. We handle the permit process, coordinate with local inspectors, and ensure every aspect of the installation aligns with current code. This protects you from liability and ensures your system is legally compliant.
- Building permit application and fee coordination
- Code review specific to your county/municipality
- Inspector contact and scheduling
- Plan submission showing new line routing and connections
- Compliance documentation maintained in our records
Professional Installation with Quality Materials
Our licensed technicians install new gas lines using approved materials — copper tubing, black iron, or CSST as appropriate for your application. We run lines neatly through walls, under floors, or along building exteriors, always following code requirements for support, spacing, and protection. When we install CSST, we bond and ground it correctly — a code requirement so a nearby lightning strike or fault current can’t arc through the thin tubing wall. We also install a sediment trap (drip leg) ahead of each appliance connection to catch moisture, rust, and scale. We tailor the installation to your fuel type: natural gas is lighter than air and delivered at roughly 7 inches of water column, while propane is heavier than air, stored as a pressurized liquid, and delivered through a two-stage regulator down to about 11 inches of water column.
- Installation of new piping with professional routing and support
- Connection to existing meter or new meter upgrade (if required)
- Installation of shutoff valves, regulators, and end-point fittings
- Pressure regulation calibration for gas appliances
- Protective wrapping or conduit where lines cross exposed areas
- Secure fastening and proper slope for drainage (where applicable)
Pressure Testing & Leak Detection
This is the safety checkpoint that protects your home. We pressurize the line, watch for any drop in pressure, and use a sensitive electronic sniffer to detect even tiny leaks. A passing pressure test means your system is airtight and ready for appliance connection. We also walk you through what to do if you ever suspect a leak: avoid any ignition source — don’t flip switches, unplug anything, or use a phone inside — get everyone outside, shut off gas if you safely can, and call your utility’s gas-leak line and us from a safe location.
- Pressure test at 1.5× operating pressure held for 15 minutes (minimum)
- Manometer reading documentation for permit inspection
- Electronic leak detection at every joint and connection
- Soap bubble test at connection points for visible confirmation
- Written test report provided to you and building inspector
Appliance Connection & Final Inspection
Once your new gas line passes pressure test, we connect your furnace, water heater, outdoor fireplace, or other appliance. We verify gas flow, test ignition, and confirm the appliance is operating safely. Then the building inspector performs a final walk-through to sign off on the installation.
- Safe connection of gas appliance to new piping
- Flow test and pressure verification at appliance inlet
- Ignition test and operational safety check
- Building inspector callout and final approval
- Comprehensive documentation and warranty explanation
- Customer walk-through and any maintenance guidance

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Piping
If you’re adding a new appliance that runs on gas — a furnace, water heater, outdoor fireplace, or grill — and your existing gas line can’t reach it or doesn’t have sufficient capacity, you’ll need an extension or new line. Our technicians can assess your current system infrastructure and recommend the right approach during a free inspection that includes pressure and flow testing of your existing lines.
Yes, in North Carolina and most states, gas piping must be installed by a licensed contractor, and the work requires a building permit and inspection before the system can be put into service. We handle all licensing, permitting, and inspection coordination to protect you from liability and ensure full code compliance. Unlicensed installation can expose you to safety risks and legal liability.
Simple extensions or outdoor fireplace installations typically take 4–8 hours. More complex routing, meter upgrades, or installations requiring new service lines from the street may require 1–2 days or more. We provide a detailed timeline and scope estimate during the inspection phase so you know what to expect.
Black iron is traditional, durable, and rust-resistant but requires threaded connections; copper is highly resistant to corrosion and doesn’t require threading; CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is flexible, easier to route through tight spaces, and faster to install. Local codes and building conditions determine which material is best for your installation. We’ll recommend the material that suits your situation and complies with local requirements.
A pressure test confirms your new gas line has no leaks and can safely deliver gas to your appliance at the correct operating pressure. Even a tiny leak can create a safety hazard, allow gas to escape into wall cavities, or reduce pressure to your appliance. A passing pressure test gives you confidence that your system is airtight, code-compliant, and safe.
Absolutely. If you suspect a gas leak, notice an appliance not igniting, or have a disconnected outdoor fireplace, we can diagnose the problem and repair it quickly. Always call us right away if you smell gas — never ignore a potential leak. We provide professional service for gas safety concerns.
Yes. We size the gas line correctly based on the fireplace or grill’s BTU requirements, install proper shutoff valves and regulators, pressure-test the complete line, and verify safe operation before you use it. We handle both natural gas and propane systems and understand the pressure regulation differences each fuel type requires.
We connect furnaces, water heaters, ranges, cooktops, dryers, fireplaces, grills, and outdoor cooking setups. If it’s a residential gas appliance, we can safely install a properly sized and tested gas line for it. Always consult us before assuming your existing line has enough capacity.
Yes. We warranty our workmanship and the integrity of your installation for years. The materials and fittings we use are also backed by manufacturer warranties. Ask us about specific warranty terms, labor coverage, and any ongoing maintenance requirements when we quote your project.
Cost varies significantly based on line distance, routing difficulty, material choice, and whether your existing meter has capacity to handle the new demand. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate after the free inspection, with no surprises. Contact us for a free quote or ask about financing options for larger projects.
