Gas Plumbing
Gas Line Installation & Repair
New gas lines, appliance connections, rerouting, and leak repair — pressure-tested and installed to code for homes and businesses across the North & Northwest suburbs.
Gas piping isn’t a place to cut corners
Gas lines feed some of the most important equipment in your home — the furnace, the water heater, the range, the dryer — and a mistake in gas piping isn't a nuisance, it's a safety hazard. That's why every gas job our team does is sized properly, installed to code, and pressure-tested before anything is turned back on.
We install, replace, reroute, and repair gas lines for residential and commercial properties throughout Chicago's North and Northwest suburbs. Whether you need a single appliance connection for a new range, a new line for a kitchen remodel, a larger line to feed a tankless water heater, or a suspected leak tracked down and repaired, we handle it safely and correctly the first time.

If you smell gas
Safety comes first. If you smell gas (a “rotten egg” odor), hear hissing near a gas line, or suspect a leak:
- Leave the building right away and get everyone out.
- Don't switch lights or appliances on or off, and don't use anything that could make a spark.
- From outside, call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line.
- Once the utility has made the situation safe, call us to find and repair the leak properly.
Gas concerns are one of the situations we treat as urgent — see how same-day emergency visits work.
Common gas line projects
Kitchen remodels and new ranges
Switching from an electric range to gas, moving a range to an island, or adding a larger cooktop usually means extending or rerouting the gas line. We plan the route, size the pipe for the appliance, and install a shut-off valve where it belongs.
Water heaters and tankless conversions
Water heater replacements often uncover gas connections that need updating, and tankless units frequently need a larger gas line than the old tank. We handle the gas side of every water heater installation we do.
Dryers, fireplaces, and outdoor appliances
New gas dryers, gas fireplace inserts, and outdoor grills or heaters all need a properly sized, properly protected line and connection.
Commercial gas piping
We also run and repair gas piping for commercial spaces — like the workshop and commercial installations in the photos on this page.
How we do gas work
- Correct sizing. Gas pipe is sized for the total load of every appliance on the line and the length of the run, so every appliance gets the fuel it needs.
- The right materials. We install code-compliant black iron and copper gas piping, with proper supports and shut-off valves.
- Pressure testing. New and modified gas piping is pressure-tested before the system is put back in service.
- Permits and inspections. We pull permits when a job requires one and install everything to pass inspection.
- Clear pricing. You'll know what the job costs before we start — no pressure, no add-ons.
What affects the cost of gas line work
We give you a clear price before the work begins. The main factors are the length of the run from the meter or nearest suitable line, the pipe size the appliance requires, how many walls, floors, or finished surfaces the line has to pass through, whether existing piping needs to be upsized or replaced, and permit requirements in your town. Scheduled appointments booked ahead get 10% off.
