We Install & Repair Gas Piping
Gas plumbing is extremely hazardous and should only be serviced by a licensed plumber who is well versed in its risks. For years, gas plumbing has been relied upon to power essential appliances such as water heaters and ovens, utilizing either natural gas or propane gas. The specific type of gas supplied to your home depends on the geographical area and can be easily determined by contacting your local utility district.
When it comes to gas plumbing, it is crucial to employ trained and insured licensed professionals for any installation, repair, or maintenance needs. Although handymen may offer cheaper rates, they may lack the necessary insurance coverage to protect against liability damages that could occur while working in your home. It is essential to contact a licensed plumber who not only guarantees quality work but also provides a worry-free guarantee on labor for both residential and commercial customers.
Our comprehensive service area extends from Round Rock to Austin, and even reaches San Antonio and Dallas. Our highly skilled service team is knowledgeable about local plumbing regulations and can determine if your location is eligible for gas plumbing services. Don’t compromise your safety or the integrity of your gas plumbing system – contact us, the reliable plumbers near you, to ensure your gas plumbing needs are met with the utmost professionalism and expertise.
Our Most Common Gas Line Questions
What appliances are connected to gas lines?
There are several home and business appliances that can be powered by gas: ovens, stovetop ranges, clothes dryers, furnaces, water heaters and pool heaters are most common. For safety’s sake, it’s important to have a carbon monoxide detector installed. You should also schedule a service call with your plumber for your gas appliances once a year to make sure they are still in good working order and that there aren’t any potential safety issues.
The connection from the appliance to the gas line is oftentimes the most common spot for a leak. To diagnose exactly where the leak is coming from a licensed professional would have to perform pressure tests in small sections using a diaphragm gauge and a soap bottle. Gas plumbing is not only perilous, but it is also explosive. Make an appointment with Reliant Plumbing today to make sure your home or business’s gas plumbing system is in good working order.
Can I get a gas appliance if my home has never had gas before?
Yes, this is possible. If you desire to switch over to gas appliances, Reliant are your go-to plumbing professionals. There are no ballparks when talking about gas plumbing estimates since gas is a liability which requires insurance and many factors go into constructing an accurate quote. If there is already a gas line near your home or already on your property, this may help reduce the cost.
The overall cost is determined by the amount of total footage, total BTUs, total fixtures and the level of difficulty to get to each fixture. The type of material also plays into the cost since gas plumbing pipes can be made out of metal or plastic. To be precise, Call Reliant and we can send a highly trusted professional to look at and diagnose your gas plumbing options.
Can I install my own gas appliances?
Due to the potentially hazardous nature of gas appliances, installations should not be attempted by individuals. Depending on your city, certain safety codes must be met before this type of work can be performed, and with anything, there is a chance for error. In some cities, it is illegal to install anything that runs on gas if you’re not a licensed professional. More than that, it’s not worth the risk of injury or an explosion.
When switching over to gas, most appliance installs require the help of a plumber and possibly even an electrician to make sure that both the gas and electric lines are safe and the circuitry is installed correctly. Rest easy knowing that when you choose Reliant you’re hiring an insured company who sends out highly trained and licensed professionals.
