You get reliable gas flow to your stove, oven, water heater, or outdoor grill without worrying about leaks, code violations, or safety issues. Your appliances operate efficiently, your family stays safe, and you pass all required inspections the first time.
Every connection is pressure-tested and built to California’s strict safety standards. No callbacks, no problems, no stress.
We’ve served homeowners for over 100 years, with five generations of family expertise in residential plumbing systems. We understand Kelsey’s housing stock, from older homes needing gas line upgrades to new construction requiring complete installations.
California’s strict gas line regulations exist for good reason—gas work done wrong can be dangerous and expensive. We’re licensed, insured, and know exactly what El Dorado County requires for permits, inspections, and safe installations.
First, we assess your project and handle all permit applications with El Dorado County. We’ll locate existing utilities through Underground Service Alert—it’s required by California law and prevents costly mistakes.
Next, we install your gas line using approved materials like black steel or CSST, following exact code specifications for depth, support, and connections. Every joint is properly fitted and secured.
Finally, we pressure-test the entire system to verify zero leaks, then schedule the required county inspection. Once approved, your gas is connected and ready to use safely.

We install gas lines for kitchen stoves, ovens, water heaters, outdoor grills, fire pits, and heating systems. Whether you’re upgrading from electric appliances or adding new gas features, we handle the complete installation from your meter to your appliance.
Kelsey homeowners often choose gas for its cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. With El Dorado County’s variable weather and occasional power outages, gas appliances provide dependable cooking and heating when you need it most.
All installations include proper shut-off valves, approved fittings, and compliance with California’s Title 24 energy codes. We also coordinate with PG&E for any meter modifications or service upgrades.
Yes, California law requires permits for all gas line installations, regardless of size or scope. El Dorado County Building Department issues these permits, and we handle the entire application process for you.
The permit ensures your installation meets safety codes and gets properly inspected. Without it, you risk code violations, insurance claim denials, and potentially dangerous situations. We pull permits for every job and schedule all required inspections.
Gas line installation typically costs $500-$2,000 depending on distance, complexity, and appliance type. Simple runs to kitchen stoves cost less than extensive outdoor installations or whole-house conversions.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no diagnostic fees or surprise charges. The quote we give you is what you pay—period. Factors affecting cost include permit fees, excavation requirements, pipe material, and inspection scheduling.
We use California-approved materials including black steel pipe, galvanized steel, and CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing). Material choice depends on your specific application, local codes, and installation environment.
Black steel is common for indoor runs and offers excellent durability. CSST provides flexibility for tight spaces and easier installation. All materials meet or exceed California plumbing code requirements and are rated for natural gas service.
Most residential gas line installations take 1-2 days for the actual work, but the complete process including permits and inspections typically requires 5-7 business days total.
Simple appliance connections can often be completed in a few hours. More complex projects like outdoor kitchens or whole-house conversions may take longer. We coordinate all scheduling with El Dorado County inspectors to minimize delays and get your gas service connected quickly.
When installed by licensed professionals following California codes, gas lines are extremely safe. We pressure-test every installation, use approved materials, and ensure proper ventilation and shut-off valve placement.
California has some of the strictest gas safety regulations in the country specifically to prevent accidents. We follow all Underground Service Alert requirements, maintain proper installation depths, and coordinate with county inspectors for final approval before any gas flows through your new lines.
Absolutely. We install gas lines for outdoor grills, fire pits, patio heaters, and outdoor kitchens throughout Kelsey. Outdoor installations require special attention to weather protection, proper depth, and code-compliant materials.
California codes require specific installation methods for outdoor gas lines, including proper sleeving where lines enter structures and adequate shut-off valve placement. We handle all aspects including trenching, pipe installation, and final connections to your outdoor appliances.
