Benefits of Natural Gas Lines

Natural gas is easy to use once you have your gas line installed. Often the upfront cost and time that it takes to install a natural gas line deter people from considering natural gas appliances. This is unfortunate because the convenience and cost savings you’ll enjoy for decades after it is installed is well worth the initial expense. In addition, if you’re considering multiple gas line projects, we can also help you cut down on renovation costs and install multiple gas lines at once. The convenience of accessing this fuel on-demand with the flip of a switch makes many outdoor projects simpler as you no longer need to worry about refilling a propane tank. Cooking with a gas stove is also preferred by many home chefs and in the event of a power outage, you still have a reliable fuel source available to all of your natural gas appliances. Natural gas is also less expensive than propane and burns cleaner.

Gas Lines and Gas Appliances in Calgary

In Calgary and surrounding communities, a gas permit is required to install gas appliances and gas lines. This is required because there are risks associated with improper installation and use of natural gas. There are multiple precautions in place to protect you and your family to ensure natural gas is used safely in your home.

Shut-off valves must be installed, and readily accessible.
All gas appliances must have CSA, ULC, and CGA approvals.
Your home gas line must be checked to ensure it can handle the increased demand for new appliances.
There are clearances required for combustible materials around the appliances.
Gas lines must be protected from accidental punctures.
Proper venting around appliances to prevent any risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will adding a gas fireplace significantly increase my gas bills?admin2022-10-19T21:48:48-06:00

Will adding a gas fireplace significantly increase my gas bills?

It will likely cost a little more, but most gas fireplaces are very efficient and use only a small amount of gas. In some cases, your gas bill could be reduced because adding a fireplace in a room where your family spends a lot of time provides heat where you need it vs spending money heating your entire home with your furnace.

Can I install a gas line by myself?admin2022-10-19T21:49:50-06:00

Can I install a gas line by myself?

Unless you are a plumber/gasfitter yourself, no. The City of Calgary requires a permit before you can begin installing plumbing or gas on your property, and homeowners cannot apply for a gas permit unless they are certified journeyman gasfitters. Contact 180 Plumbing & Heating so we can take care of this project for you.

What are the benefits of natural gas-fired appliances?admin2022-10-19T21:50:55-06:00

What are the benefits of natural gas-fired appliances?

Natural gas is cost-effective and efficient and works especially well for providing heat in colder climates like Alberta’s winter, but many people find that the most significant benefit is convenience. Transitioning to a gas-fired appliance will require installing a gas line, but the ongoing maintenance and ease of use are typically much better than the alternatives. For example, gas stoves heat food instantly and with great control, gas barbecues don’t require refilling propane tanks, and gas fireplaces do not require stockpiling and chopping wood.
