Your gas stove responds instantly when you turn the dial. No more waiting for electric burners to heat up or dealing with uneven cooking temperatures that ruin dinner.
Your water heater recovers faster between showers and costs less each month to operate. Your gas dryer works gentler on clothes while cutting your utility bills.
That’s what happens when you get professional gas line installation instead of struggling with outdated electric appliances. You get reliable natural gas service that makes your appliances work the way they should have from day one.
We’ve been handling gas line installations in Citrus Heights long enough to understand what works here. The local soil mix of sand, gravel, silt, and clay creates installation challenges that require experienced hands.
You need someone who knows California gas codes inside and out. Someone who handles permits without you having to chase down inspectors. Someone whose final bill actually comes in lower than the estimate, not higher.
That’s what you get with Murray Plumbing. Licensed, insured, and focused on getting your gas line installation done right the first time.
First, we figure out exactly what your home needs. We calculate proper pipe sizing based on your appliances’ BTU requirements and the distance from your main gas supply. No guesswork.
Next, we handle all the permit paperwork and coordinate with Dig Alert to locate existing utilities. You don’t have to call anyone or wait around for inspectors who may or may not show up.
Then we install your gas lines using the right materials for Citrus Heights conditions – black steel, corrugated stainless steel tubing, or other California-approved materials. Everything gets pressure tested before the final city inspection authorizes your gas service.

Citrus Heights’ unique soil composition means standard installation methods don’t always work. The mix of alluvial materials can shift during minor seismic activity, requiring proper materials and installation techniques that many contractors skip.
You also get proper gas line fittings, code-compliant materials, and installations that pass inspection the first time. No callbacks, no delays, no problems with the gas company when they come to turn on your service.
Most Citrus Heights homeowners pay between $260 and $820 for residential gas line installation. Kitchen gas stove installation typically runs around $600 for a standard 30-foot run from the main supply.
The final price depends on how far your appliances are from the gas meter, how many appliances you’re connecting, and whether the installation requires trenching under concrete or landscaping. Complex routes cost more due to additional labor and restoration work.
We give you upfront pricing before starting work. Many customers report their final bill came in lower than the original estimate, which tells you something about how we approach pricing.
Yes, California law requires permits and inspections for all gas line work. This isn’t bureaucratic nonsense – it’s about keeping your family safe from gas leaks and potential explosions.
The permit process involves submitting installation plans, coordinating with utility locating services, and scheduling inspections at different stages. Underground gas piping gets inspected after installation but before covering. Final inspection happens after pressure testing.
We handle all permit applications and inspection scheduling. We know local building department requirements and make sure your installation meets California safety codes without you having to chase down inspectors.
Usually not safely. Existing gas lines are sized for specific appliances and their BTU demands. Adding new appliances typically overloads the system, causing poor performance or safety issues.
Gas lines operate at very low pressure compared to water lines – only about 1/4 pound of pressure. When you add appliances to an undersized line, none of your gas appliances get adequate fuel flow.
We evaluate your existing system first. If your current gas line has adequate capacity for additional appliances, we can add connections safely. Otherwise, we install new, properly sized lines that handle all your appliances correctly.
We use California-approved materials including black steel pipe, corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST), and galvanized steel. Material choice depends on installation location, local codes, and your specific application.
California’s earthquake activity and Citrus Heights’ soil conditions require materials that can handle ground movement without breaking. CSST offers flexibility while black steel provides maximum durability for underground installations.
We avoid mixing different metals in the same system, which causes corrosion problems over time. If your existing gas line uses incompatible materials, we may recommend replacing sections to prevent future leaks.
Most residential gas line installations complete within one day once permits are approved and work begins. Simple single-appliance connections often finish the same day you call.
Permit processing takes longer – sometimes 4-6 weeks depending on your local building department’s workload. We submit permits early and coordinate scheduling to minimize delays once approval comes through.
Complex installations like whole-house gas line systems or routes requiring extensive trenching may take 2-3 days. We provide realistic timelines during your initial consultation, not optimistic estimates that leave you waiting.
Yes, when installed properly using California’s strict seismic safety codes. Modern gas line installation methods and materials are specifically designed for earthquake conditions.
Flexible materials like corrugated stainless steel tubing move with ground motion without rupturing. Proper installation includes adequate support, flexible connections, and automatic shutoff devices that activate during seismic events.
We install all gas lines to exceed California safety requirements. This includes earthquake-resistant materials, proper installation techniques, and safety devices designed for seismic zones. Professional installation and inspection ensure your system stays safe during ground movement.
