We specialize in extending your existing service to these new areas, ensuring that the additional demand doesn't compromise the appliances you already have running inside.
When considering gas line installation for San Diego projects for home additions or ADUs, there are several factors we help you navigate:
- Load Calculation: We ensure your existing meter can handle the increased demand of new appliances.

- Trenching and Routing: We find the most efficient and least invasive path to get the gas where it needs to go.
- Appliance Connection: We don't just "stub out" the line; we make sure your new equipment is hooked up and burning blue and clean.

Our Gas Line Installation Process in Your San Diego Home
Understanding what will happen in your home can take a lot of stress out of scheduling a gas line project. We follow a consistent process that is designed to protect your property, meet local requirements, and give you clear checkpoints from start to finish. While every home and project is different, most gas line work follows several main steps.
🔷 Initial Visit & Assessment
- First, we schedule a visit to see your home and talk through your goals. We look at your existing gas service, current appliances, and the location of the new appliance or feature you have in mind. During this visit, our team considers line sizing, potential routes, access points, and any visible conditions that could affect the work, such as tight spaces or finished walls and ceilings.
🔷 Planning & Routing
- Next, we plan the route and materials for your new or modified gas piping. This planning stage includes checking applicable local code requirements and discussing with you how the line will travel through your home or yard. We explain what sections may need to be opened for access, how we expect to restore those areas, and whether the work is likely to involve permits or inspections based on the scope and location.
🔷 Installation & Testing
- When it is time to perform the installation, we work carefully to protect your floors and furnishings, and we communicate with you about when and where we will be working. Our San Diego plumbers install the gas piping, secure it properly, and connect it to the appropriate shutoff valves and appliance locations. We strive to keep the work area as contained as possible so that your household routines are disturbed as little as we can manage.
After installation, we perform pressure tests and leak checks to confirm that the new or modified gas line is holding properly. If your project requires an inspection, we coordinate our work with the inspection schedule and prepare the system so that it is ready for review. Once tests and any inspections are complete, we walk you through what we have done, review shutoff locations, and answer any questions you have about the new gas line.
Common Gas Line Projects We Handle in San Diego
Homeowners call us for a wide variety of gas-related projects, from simple appliance connections to more involved line extensions or replacements. Seeing your specific situation reflected in what we do every day can make it easier to know you are in the right place. Our team regularly plans and installs gas piping for both interior and exterior residential applications.
Indoor Gas Line Projects
Inside the home, we often install or modify lines for gas ranges, cooktops, ovens, and clothes dryers. We also work on lines that supply gas fireplaces or wall heaters. In many homes in San Diego, owners upgrade to higher demand appliances, which can require checking whether existing gas piping is properly sized and, when needed, adding or replacing sections of line to support that change safely.
Outdoor Gas Line Projects
Outdoors, we handle gas piping for built-in grills, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pool or spa heaters, and similar amenities. These projects require careful planning to balance appearance, access for future service, and safe clearances from structures and property lines. Because we manage many different types of residential plumbing projects, we are comfortable coordinating gas line work with other improvements that may happen at the same time, such as new water lines for an outdoor sink or relocation of a water heater.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my gas line installation take in my home in San Diego?
Most residential gas line projects can be completed within one day once work begins, although larger or more complex jobs may take longer. The time involved depends on factors such as the length of the run, how many walls or surfaces we need to access, and whether permits and inspections are part of the project. During your estimate, we provide a realistic timeline based on your specific layout and goals. Our team works to schedule the work at a time that fits your routine and to keep you informed about progress throughout the job.
Will you have to open my walls or yard to run a gas line?
In many San Diego homes, we can use existing chases, basements, crawlspaces, or accessible areas to route new gas piping, but there are situations where opening walls, ceilings, or soil is necessary. The need for access depends on how your home is built, where your current gas service enters, and where the new appliance or feature will be located. During our visit, we explain which areas we expect to open and how we plan to protect and clean the workspaces. When we do have to open surfaces, we work to keep openings as small and neat as practical so that repairs and touch-ups are more manageable.
How much does a new gas line usually cost?
The cost of a new gas line varies based on the distance from the gas source to the appliance, the route the line must take, the type of materials used, and how much access work is needed inside walls or in the yard. Projects that require permits, inspections, or coordination with other trades can also affect the overall price. Because of these variables, we provide free estimates after we have seen your home and discussed your plans in person. During that visit, we explain the main factors that influence cost and review any options that might help you align the project with your budget.
What should I do if I smell gas before you arrive?
If you smell gas, your immediate focus should be on safety. Avoid lighting matches, using lighters, or operating electrical switches, and move people and pets away from the area where the odor is strongest. Utility providers in the San Diego region tell homeowners to contact them right away about suspected leaks so they can evaluate and secure their system. After the utility has confirmed that the area is safe and identified any issues that are on the customer side of the meter, you can call our team to assess your gas piping and perform any necessary repairs or replacements. Our goal is to help you restore safe service once the initial hazard has been addressed.
