Murray Plumbing has been handling gas line installations throughout Sacramento for years. We’re the plumbers East Sacramento residents call when they need it done right.
Our 4.7-star Google rating comes from doing what we say we’ll do. We show up on time, give you straight answers about what needs to happen, and finish the job properly.
You won’t get surprise charges or find out halfway through that we need more money. We tell you upfront what it costs, and many customers find the final bill is actually less than our estimate.
First, we assess your current setup and determine the best route for your new gas line. We check your existing gas meter capacity and plan the installation to meet local codes.
Next, we run the new gas line using proper fittings and materials rated for your specific application. Every connection gets tested for leaks before we move to the next step.
Finally, we test the entire system, connect your appliance, and make sure everything works properly. We clean up completely and walk you through how to safely operate your new gas appliance. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the run.

Every gas line installation includes proper permits, code-compliant materials, and leak testing at every connection point. We use black iron pipe or CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) depending on your specific situation and local requirements.
East Sacramento homes often need special consideration due to the area’s mix of older and newer construction. We’re familiar with the permitting process through Sacramento County and know which installations require inspections.
You also get our standard warranty on all work performed. If something goes wrong with our installation, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s how confident we are in the quality of our gas line work.
Gas line installation costs depend on the length of the run, the type of appliance, and how accessible the route is. A simple 20-foot run for a gas stove typically runs $300-600, while longer runs or multiple appliances cost more.
We give you an exact price before starting any work. No estimates that change once we’re halfway done. Many customers tell us our final bill came in under what we quoted them.
The permit fee (usually $50-100 in Sacramento County) is separate and goes directly to the county, not to us.
Yes, gas line installations in East Sacramento require permits from Sacramento County. This isn’t optional – it’s required by law and for good reason.
The permit ensures your installation gets inspected by a county inspector who verifies everything meets current safety codes. We handle pulling the permit and scheduling the inspection for you.
Skipping the permit might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your house or file an insurance claim. Plus, unpermitted gas work is dangerous and potentially illegal.
Absolutely. Outdoor gas line installations are popular in East Sacramento, especially for backyard grills and fire features. The process is similar to indoor installations but requires different materials rated for outdoor use.
We run the gas line underground or along exterior walls, depending on your yard layout and local code requirements. All outdoor gas lines get special fittings designed to handle weather exposure.
The installation includes a shut-off valve near the appliance and proper grounding where required. We test everything thoroughly before you start using your outdoor gas appliance.
Most residential gas line installations take 2-4 hours, depending on the distance and complexity of the run. A simple installation to a kitchen range might take 2 hours, while running gas to a second-floor bathroom for a tankless water heater takes longer.
We work efficiently but never rush safety-critical steps like leak testing and proper connections. Every joint gets checked multiple times before we consider the job complete.
The county inspection usually happens within a few days of completion. We coordinate the inspection timing so you’re not waiting around unnecessarily.
Black iron pipe is traditional steel pipe that’s been used for gas lines for decades. It’s extremely durable and works well for most installations, but it requires more fittings and takes longer to install.
CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is flexible yellow tubing that’s easier to route through tight spaces. It installs faster and requires fewer fittings, but costs more per foot than black iron.
We recommend the best option for your specific situation. Sometimes code requirements or your home’s layout determines which material we use. Both are safe and reliable when installed properly.
If we discover issues with your existing gas system or find complications during installation, we stop work and explain your options. Common problems include undersized gas meters, corroded existing lines, or routing obstacles we couldn’t see initially.
We never surprise you with extra charges. If additional work is needed, we give you a clear explanation and firm price before proceeding. You decide whether to move forward or explore alternatives.
Sometimes we can suggest simpler solutions that cost less than the original plan. Our goal is getting your gas appliance working safely, not running up the bill with unnecessary complications.
