Gas Line Installation in Houston, TX
Converting from electric? Adding an outdoor kitchen? Upgrading to a gas range or pool heater? We install gas lines safely, properly sized, and to code — with full permits and inspections.
Adding a gas appliance is one of the most permanent home upgrades you can make. A properly installed gas line will last decades with no maintenance. A bad install is a slow-motion safety problem. We install gas lines the way they should be done — sized correctly, routed carefully, pressure tested, and inspected.

Common Issues We Solve
Converting electric appliances to gas
Gas ranges and dryers are popular upgrades. We run the line from your main supply to the new appliance location.
Outdoor kitchen gas supply
Grills, side burners, and patio heaters all need permitted gas lines installed to code.
Pool heater gas demand
Pool heaters demand significant BTUs. We size the line for full load operation.
Fire pit and fireplace lines
Natural gas fire features require permanent supply lines, properly sized and shut-off accessible.
Adding a tankless water heater
Tankless conversions usually require gas line upgrades. We handle both jobs.
Whole-house gas line upgrades
If you're adding multiple appliances, we evaluate and upsize the main supply as needed.
Our Process
- 1
Demand calculation
We total the BTU demand of all gas appliances and verify your supply can handle the new load.
- 2
Routing and material selection
We plan the route — through walls, attics, exterior — and pick the right material (CSST, black iron, copper) for the application.
- 3
Permit pull
We pull required permits for all gas piping work.
- 4
Install and connect
Pipe is cut, fitted, supported, bonded, and connected with proper shut-off valves at each appliance.
- 5
Pressure test and inspect
Every new line is pressure tested. We coordinate inspection before the line is put in service.

Gas Line Installation — Common Questions
How much does gas line installation cost?
It varies significantly by length, complexity, and material. A short kitchen run is much cheaper than running a line through the attic to a backyard kitchen. We provide written estimates after assessing the project.
Can I install my own gas line?
In Texas, gas piping must be installed by a licensed master plumber and inspected. DIY gas work is illegal, dangerous, and voids homeowner's insurance coverage.
What's the difference between CSST and black iron?
Black iron is the traditional rigid pipe — durable but harder to route through tight spaces. CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is flexible and faster to install. Both are code-compliant when installed correctly. We choose based on the specific project.
