“They moved our dryer to the garage. Before anything was lit, the fitter showed me the gauge and said it had not moved in the ten minutes it sat.”

Gas lines and appliance hook-ups, Oklahoma City
Gas lines, run slowly and tested before anything is lit
Ranges, dryers, grills, generators and propane conversions, from the meter or the tank to the appliance. Smell gas right now? The box below comes first.
Read this first
If you smell gas
Gas smells like rotten eggs. Before anything else on this page:
Get everyone out
Leave the house and leave the door open behind you. Take the pets. Don't stop to open windows or look for the cause.
Don't flip a light switch, use a lighter or run the garage door opener
Don't unplug anything or start a car in the garage
Call from outside
Call 911 or your gas utility's leak line from the yard or a neighbor's house. The number is on your gas bill. Stay out until they say it is clear.
Then call us
We are not the first call for a gas smell. Once the utility has found the leak and made it safe to be inside, call us to repair or replace the line.
Tell us what the utility found and whether the meter was locked
The hook-up list
What we connect, and what we check on each
Six jobs make up most of our calls. Each ends the same way: a closed line under test, then the flame.
Ranges and cooktops
A new range on a stub that is already there is a short visit. A range moved across the kitchen needs a new run.
A shutoff you can reach without moving the range
A new connector, never the old one
Every joint brushed with leak solution
Dryers
A gas dryer needs the right pipe size, a shutoff within reach and a vent that goes outside.
Pipe sized to the dryer's load
Vent run checked, and what we find told to you
A new connector and a lit test cycle
Grills and outdoor kitchens
A line from the house to the patio, buried or run along a wall, ending in a fixed stub or a quick-connect.
A shutoff at the house and one at the grill
The route walked with you first
Pressure test before the first light
Standby generators
We size the line to what the generator burns at full load. The transfer switch is an electrician's job, and we work beside yours.
Line sized to full load
The meter or tank side checked with the supplier
The electrical side left to the electrician
Propane conversions
Natural gas to propane, or back: the maker's kit, a regulator where the maker calls for one, and a test.
Only appliances the maker lets you convert
Kit fitted to the maker's instructions
Tested and lit before we leave
New runs and extensions
A new line from the meter to a room, a garage or a yard, where the pipe has to be sized for what it will feed.
Pipe sized for everything it will feed
Permit pulled where the city requires one
Inspection booked when the permit calls for it
How a hook-up goes
From the first call to the first flame
A call, and a photo
Tell us what you are hooking up and which gas you have. A photo of the appliance's rating plate names the fuel and the load.
We look at the run
A fitter walks the route from the meter or tank to the appliance and writes the price down.
Permit, then pipe
Where the city requires a permit for the work, we pull it before the first cut.
The pressure test
Before any appliance is lit, the line is closed off and held under test pressure. A gauge that does not move is the only pass.
Light it, and show you
We light the appliance, check the flame, and show you the shutoff valve and how it turns.
On the bench
A new connector and a checked shutoff, every time
The pipe in the wall is the long-lived part. The parts you can see are the ones that wear.
A connector that has been bent, moved and heated for years is not reused on a new appliance. We fit a new one, check the shutoff valve behind it and replace the valve if it sticks. The extra parts are on the written price, not found on the day.
On every hook-up
A new connector sized to the appliance
A shutoff valve within reach of the appliance
Every joint brushed with leak solution and watched
What a gas job costs, and why
No price list: every house is piped differently. Here is what decides it and when you hear the number.
What decides the price
Mostly how far the pipe has to go and what is in the way. A range on a gas stub that is already there is a different job from a line across a yard.
How far it is from the meter or tank to the appliance
The pipe size and material the appliance's load calls for
Walls, floors or concrete we have to open or cross
A permit and inspection, where the city requires them
The appliance: its load, and whether it comes with a conversion kit
What the written price includes, and what it doesn't
It covers the pipe, fittings, shutoff, new connector, permit, pressure test and lighting the appliance. It does not cover drywall, paint, tile or concrete patching, an electrician's work or the appliance itself.
What happens at the visit
A fitter comes to look at the run, with the appliance's rating plate in hand. The visit has a set fee, told to you on the phone before we book. If you hire us for the work, the fee comes off the price.
After hours
We are a daytime shop, with the hours in the footer. We don't take gas-leak calls at any hour: for a smell, leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility. We don't charge a night rate because we don't work nights.
When you get the number
Before the first cut. One number for the job, in writing, from what we saw at the visit. You decide with the paper in your hand.
If the job changes
If we open a wall and find something the visit couldn't show, we stop, tell you what it is and write the change down before we go on. Nothing is added on the day without your yes.
Customers
What the work looked like from the kitchen
“I wanted a gas line to the patio for a grill. They walked the yard with me, told me where the pipe would run and sent the price that night.”
Waylon S.Gas line to the patio
“The generator was already bought. They worked out the line size from its sheet and left the transfer switch to our electrician, as they said they would.”

Questions
Before you book
What do I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house, leave the door open and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Don't use a switch, a lighter or a phone inside. Call us after the utility has cleared the house.
Do you replace the old flexible connector?
Yes, on every hook-up. A connector that has been moved or heated for years is not reused. The new one is on the written price.
Can my range run on propane?
Only if the maker supplies a conversion kit for that model. The rating plate and the manual say. We install the kit, set the regulator where it calls for one, and test.
Do you do the electrical side of a generator?
No. We run and test the gas line. The transfer switch and wiring are an electrician's work, and we will work beside yours.
When do I get a price?
Before the first cut, in writing, after a fitter has seen the run. We do not quote a new line over the phone.
Not a gas smell?
Ask for a hook-up visit
Tell us what is going where and which gas you have. A fitter calls you back within a business day.
