Residential Gas Fitting Services
Gas fitting covers more than connecting an appliance. A proper gas fitting job involves assessing what your existing system can support, sizing the line correctly, routing it safely, testing for leaks, and making sure the appliance is operating as it should.
Homeowners typically call us for:
- Gas line installation for BBQs and outdoor kitchens
- Garage heater gas lines
- Gas fireplaces and inserts
- Gas ranges and cooktops
- Gas dryers
- Patio heaters and outdoor fire features
- Furnace and gas appliance connections
- Gas line repairs and modifications
If you are not sure what your home can support or what size line you need, we can sort that out before any work begins.
Gas Line Installation in Calgary
Installing a new gas line is often about making the home more comfortable and convenient. It is also work that needs to be done correctly from the start, because fixing a poorly installed gas line later is more involved and more disruptive than doing it right the first time.
We size and install gas lines based on the appliance load, the distance from the meter, and the existing system capacity. Above-ground and below-ground installations are both handled depending on what the project requires.
Some common gas line installation projects include:
- A dedicated natural gas line for a BBQ or outdoor kitchen
- Adding gas for a garage heater during Calgary winters
- Switching from an electric range to gas cooking
- Connecting a gas dryer
- Adding gas to a fireplace or other appliance
Every installation is pressure tested before the line is put into service.
Gas Permits and Inspections in Calgary
This is something homeowners do not always know about upfront: in Calgary, all gas line installations require a permit, regardless of how short the line is. A permit cannot be pulled by a homeowner. It must be obtained by a licensed gas fitter.
After installation, a City inspector will visit the site to verify the work. Inspections in Calgary typically happen the following business day. The permit and inspection process is there for good reason. Gas work that is not permitted and inspected can affect your home insurance coverage and may create complications if you sell the home.
We handle the permit application and coordinate the inspection as part of the job. You do not need to navigate that process on your own.
BBQ Gas Line Installation
If you are tired of running out of propane mid-dinner, a natural gas BBQ line is one of those upgrades that gets used more than most people expect.
A dedicated BBQ gas line means:
- No more hauling propane tanks
- No more running out mid-cook
- Reliable fuel ready when you are
We run the gas line to your BBQ location, size it correctly for the appliance, and set it up safely so it passes inspection and performs the way it should.
Gas Line Repairs and Safety
Gas line repair is work for a certified gas fitter. Please do not attempt to repair any part of a gas system yourself. Even small mistakes can create serious risk, and unauthorized repairs can affect both safety and insurance.
If you suspect a gas leak, leave the home, do not operate any switches or appliances, and contact ATCO Gas at their emergency line before calling a plumber.
For non-emergency repairs, such as a line that needs to be moved, extended, or reconnected after a renovation, we assess the existing system and complete the work safely. Some repairs may also require a permit. We will let you know what applies to your situation.
Appliance and Gas Line Maintenance
If your gas appliances are not performing the way they used to, or you want confidence that everything is operating safely, a maintenance inspection is worth considering.
Depending on the appliance, this may include:
- Cleaning burners and heat exchangers
- Replacing or cleaning igniters
- Performing combustion analysis to confirm the appliance is burning fuel cleanly
- Completing a multi-point safety check
This is a practical option when performance has slipped or when you want peace of mind heading into the heating season.
What to Expect During a Gas Fitting Visit
Gas work should feel clear and well explained at every step.
Homeowners can expect:
- A conversation about what you want to add, change, or repair
- A review of the existing gas system and what it can support
- Proper sizing and routing plan before any work begins
- Safe installation or repair with pressure testing
- Permit application and inspection coordination where required
- A clear explanation of what was done and what to watch for
We do not start work without making sure you understand what is involved and why.

When you’re in a pickle, we’re here to help.
We started giving pickles to customers for a simple reason, when you go over to someone’s house, you bring something with you.
That’s always felt right to us.
We’re working in people’s homes, not just on plumbing systems, and we never want that to feel cold or transactional. The pickles are a small, neighbourly way to say thanks for having us in, and to leave behind something a little more memorable than the usual magnet or business card.
It’s simple, but it reflects how we like to do things around here: personal, thoughtful, and with a bit of character.
