New Gas Lines, Sized Right
A gas line is not just a pipe — it is a calculated system. Every line we run starts with a BTU load calculation covering every appliance the line serves, now and planned. Undersized lines starve appliances at peak demand; that is how a tankless water heater ends up delivering lukewarm showers whenever the pool heater is running. We size the line, the routing, and the regulators for the full load, in natural gas or propane, for new runs and extensions of existing systems alike.
Appliance Hookups We Handle
- Gas ranges and cooktops — the most requested conversion in older all-electric Largo homes
- Gas dryers — a hookup even the big multi-trade shops routinely forget they can't legally do without a gas license
- Grills and outdoor kitchens — permanent lines that end the propane-cylinder swap forever (see our outdoor kitchens page)
- Fire pits and fireplaces — dedicated lines with proper shutoffs and burner connections
- Tankless water heater gas lines — high-BTU appliances that demand correct line sizing more than any other
- Pool heater gas lines — paired with our own heater installs on our pool heater repair & installation page
- Generator fuel supplies — see whole house generators, where the gas line is part of our scope, not a sub's
Pressure Testing & Permits
Every new line and every extension is pressure-tested before gas flows: the system is charged, held, and monitored, and it passes on a documented test — not on a soap-bubble check at one fitting. Gas line work in Largo requires a permit and inspection, and we manage both as part of every project. When the inspector signs off, you have a permitted, tested system on record — which matters for insurance, for resale, and most of all for the people sleeping in the house.
Natural Gas ↔ Propane Conversions
Moving into a home with propane but prefer natural gas now that it is at the street? Or going the other way because your street has no gas main? Appliances are built for one fuel and must be properly converted — orifices, regulators, and settings all change between NG and LP. We handle the conversion at the appliance and the supply system on both ends, including propane tank installation when the conversion goes that direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a gas line to a home that's all-electric?
Yes, if natural gas is available at the street we can coordinate the service connection and run interior lines; if it is not, a propane system delivers the same result. We assess both options during the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a new gas line?
Yes. Gas line installations and extensions require a permit and inspection in Largo. We handle the full permitting process as part of the job.
Can one line serve multiple appliances?
Often, yes — if it is sized for the combined BTU load. That is exactly what our load calculation determines before we run anything.
Do you hook up appliances I purchased elsewhere?
Yes. We run the line, make the connection, convert the appliance between fuels if needed, and leak-test the hookup regardless of where the appliance came from.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes. Every gas line installation and hookup we complete is backed by our warranty on parts and labor.
