Gas for the Range, the Barbecue and the Garage Heater

Gas Line Installation for Newmarket Homes

Running a new gas line is precise work: the pipe must be sized for the load, supported, tested for leaks and inspected. Done right, it is quietly safe for decades.

Clues that point to gas line installation

  • Trading an electric range for a gas one.
  • Adding a permanent natural gas barbecue on the deck.
  • Installing a garage heater, fireplace or patio heater.
  • Upgrading to a tankless water heater with a higher demand.
  • Renovating a kitchen with the range in a new spot.

Our method, in order

  1. Calculate the load. Every appliance on the system is added up in BTUs, and pipe sizes are chosen for that total and the length of each run.
  2. Plan the route from the meter or from an existing trunk line, avoiding places where pipe could be damaged.
  3. Install the pipe, usually black steel or flexible corrugated stainless tubing with proper bonding where required.
  4. Fit a shut-off valve at each appliance, accessible and visible.
  5. Pressure test the new line and leak-test every joint.
  6. Connect and light the appliance, checking flame and venting.

Bench note

In Ontario, gas work has to be carried out by a TSSA-registered, licensed gas technician, and new installations generally require a permit or notification. Always ask to see credentials.

Newmarket houses and this job

Most homes in town are served by Enbridge Gas, with the meter on an outside wall. Older homes often have a small trunk line sized only for the furnace and water heater. Adding a range, barbecue and fireplace can exceed what that pipe can carry, and part of the job is upsizing the trunk.

Many rural properties outside the gas network use propane instead, with a tank owned or leased from a supplier. Propane appliances need their own fittings and settings, and the supplier usually handles the tank and regulator. We coordinate with them.

If you smell gas

  • Do not turn lights or switches on or off.
  • Leave the house, leaving the door open.
  • Call Enbridge Gas or 911 from outside.

Call to discuss your project. Gas lines often pair with a gas water heater or a tankless installation.

Phoned-in questions

How far can a barbecue line run?

It depends on the pipe size and total load. Long runs need larger pipe, which we calculate before starting.

Can my portable propane barbecue go on natural gas?

Only when the maker sells a natural gas version or an approved conversion kit for it. Propane appliances cannot simply be plugged into a gas line.
