Gas Line Installation FAQs
Common questions about gas line services in Portland
How much does gas line installation cost in Portland?
Gas line installation in Portland typically costs $500-$2,000 for simple runs (under 30 feet) and $2,000-$5,000+ for complex installations requiring trenching, multiple appliance connections, or longer distances. We provide free estimates with transparent, upfront pricing that includes all permits and inspections.
Do I need a permit for gas line installation in Portland?
Yes, all gas line installations in Portland and Oregon require permits and inspections. This ensures your installation meets safety codes. We handle all permitting with the city and coordinate inspections - this service is included in our quotes.
How long does gas line installation take?
Most residential gas line installations are completed in 1 day. Complex projects requiring trenching, multiple connections, or coordination with NW Natural for new service may take 2-3 days. We schedule inspections promptly to minimize any delays.
Is it safe to convert from oil to natural gas?
Yes, when performed by licensed professionals. Natural gas is actually safer than oil in many ways - it dissipates quickly if leaked (unlike oil which pools) and burns cleaner. We follow strict safety protocols and all code requirements for conversions.
What size gas line do I need for my appliances?
Gas line sizing depends on BTU requirements, line length, and number of appliances. We perform load calculations to ensure proper sizing. Undersized lines cause appliance performance issues; oversized lines waste materials. Our technicians determine exact specifications during the site assessment.
Can you install a gas line for an outdoor BBQ or fire pit?
Absolutely! Outdoor gas line installations are one of our most popular services. We can run gas lines for built-in BBQ grills, fire pits, outdoor heaters, and pool/spa heaters. These eliminate the hassle of propane tank refills and provide unlimited fuel.
What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave immediately - don't flip any switches or use any appliances. Once safely outside, call 911 and NW Natural's emergency line (800-882-3377). Do not return until cleared by emergency services. If you need leak repair, call us after the area is secured.
