Gas Line Installation in Gwinnett County, GA

Gas lines we run
Converting an electric range to gas
A new branch line to the cooktop's location, with a correctly sized shutoff, connector, and sediment trap.
Adding a gas dryer
A dedicated line and shutoff to the laundry area, sized so the dryer and your other appliances hold pressure together.
Installing a standby generator
A higher-BTU line from the meter to the generator pad, often needing a meter upsize we coordinate with the utility.
Outdoor kitchen, built-in grill, or fire pit
An underground or exterior-rated line run to the patio, located and buried to code with tracer wire.
Gas fireplace or gas logs
A concealed line to the firebox with an accessible shutoff, sized for the log set's demand.
Pool or spa heater
A high-demand line — frequently the appliance that pushes a home's total load past the existing line or meter capacity.
Low pressure when several appliances run at once
An undersized or overloaded existing line. We recalculate the load and upsize the run.
Tankless water heater conversion
A larger line to carry the tankless unit's high BTU draw, replacing the ¾-inch line that fed a tank.

What our customers say
What to expect
- A BTU load calculation across all your gas appliances — new and existing — to size the line correctly
- We call Georgia 811 for utility locates before any trenching, and coordinate an Atlanta Gas Light meter upsize if the added load needs it
- We pull the Gwinnett County permit and install with code-approved materials — black-iron, CSST, or polyethylene underground
- Proper shutoffs, sediment traps, and appliance connectors at every drop, with CSST bonded and grounded to code
- A pressure test on the new piping to prove it holds before it's ever connected to an appliance
- Final inspection coordinated, the appliance connected, and the system leak-checked at startup
What it costs: You get an upfront, flat price before we dig or drill. The big cost drivers are run length and access — an exposed basement run is quick, a trenched line to a pool pad or a meter upsize is more — plus pipe material and permit. You approve the full number first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to install a gas line in Georgia?
Yes. New gas piping requires a permit, a pressure test, and an inspection in Gwinnett County and across Metro Atlanta. We pull the permit, test the line, and coordinate the inspection — unpermitted gas work can void insurance and fails at resale.
How much does it cost to run a gas line?
It's priced by the job, not a flat per-foot rate: run length, how hard the path is to reach (an open basement vs trenching under a slab or lawn), the pipe material, and whether the meter needs upsizing. You get one upfront, flat price before any work starts.
Can you add a gas line for a generator, pool heater, or outdoor kitchen?
Yes — those are among the most common runs we do. High-demand appliances like generators and pool heaters often push a home's total load past the existing line or meter, so we calculate the load and, if needed, coordinate a meter upsize with Atlanta Gas Light.
Black iron or CSST — which is better?
Both are code-approved. Black-iron (steel) pipe is rigid and time-tested; CSST (corrugated stainless tubing) installs faster through finished walls and must be bonded and grounded to code. We choose based on the run, the finish, and the load — and bond CSST every time.
Do I need a bigger gas meter?
Sometimes. Every appliance adds BTU load, and once the total exceeds what your meter and service can deliver, the utility has to upsize it. We total the load, tell you whether an upsize is needed, and coordinate it with Atlanta Gas Light, who owns the meter.
Can I run my own gas line, or does it have to be a licensed plumber?
In Georgia, gas piping is licensed work for good reason — a bad joint or an undersized line is a fire and carbon-monoxide risk. It's installed by a Georgia Master Plumber (license MP211014), permitted and pressure-tested so it's safe and insurable.
Can you extend my existing gas line instead of running a new one?
Often, yes — if the existing line has spare capacity for the added appliance. We check the current load first; tying a high-demand appliance into a line that's already near capacity causes the low-pressure problems people call us about, so sometimes a dedicated run is the right call.
How long does gas line installation take?
A short interior run to a range or dryer is often a single visit; a trenched underground line to a pool heater or generator, or a job waiting on an 811 locate and a meter upsize, takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline when we quote the load.
Gas line work across Gwinnett County
The projects vary as much as the homes — a gas range going into a remodeled Snellville kitchen, a standby generator on a slab out in Lawrenceville, an outdoor kitchen on a Suwanee patio, or a tankless conversion in an older Tucker home that needs the line upsized. Each one starts with a load calculation, wherever you are across the Metro Atlanta and Gwinnett County homes we cover.
High-demand additions — generators, pool heaters, a whole run of new appliances — often push a home past what its meter can deliver, which means coordinating an upsize with the utility before the line goes in. From sizing through the pressure test, it’s all part of the gas piping and appliance work we’re licensed for, done under one permit rather than piecemeal.
