What to Know About New Gas Line Installation
Installing a new gas line, whether for a range, dryer, fireplace, pool heater, or outdoor grill, requires correctly sizing the line for the appliance’s demand, running it safely through the home or yard, and testing it thoroughly before it’s ever put into use. This is licensed-only work that typically requires a permit and inspection.
A new gas line has to be sized right the first time, there’s no adjusting it after the appliance is installed.
