Professional Gas Line Services in Prince George, BC

Natural gas is supplied by your local utility (FortisBC) through underground mains at low pressure; propane is a bottled fuel stored on-site in a tank at higher pressure. Both are efficient for heating and appliances, but the supply method, equipment specifications, regulators, and safety protocols differ significantly. We service both systems and can help you understand which is right for your home and budget.

Any installation, replacement, or modification of gas lines requires a Technical Safety BC permit. The permit ensures the work is inspected by a provincial authority and meets current code. We handle all permitting—it's part of our service.

If you have no problems, an inspection every 1–2 years is reasonable maintenance. If you suspect a leak, smell gas, or have aging lines, we recommend scheduling an inspection without delay. Appliance connections and safety devices should also be checked annually.

A pressure test verifies that your gas lines hold pressure without leaks or weak connections. We pressurize the system to a safe level, monitor the gauge over time, and listen carefully for any loss. If pressure drops, we use electronic detectors and soapy-water methods to locate the leak and assess repair or replacement needs. A passing test means your system is safe, reliable, and code-compliant.

Stop using appliances, open windows, and leave the area if the smell is strong. Gas leaks are the utility's responsibility, not ours—contact FortisBC's gas emergency line or your local utility directly, right away. We handle diagnostics, repair, and follow-up gas line work once the immediate hazard has been addressed by the utility.

We use electronic leak detectors, soapy water, and other proven methods to pinpoint any escaping gas. Once located, we assess whether the leak can be repaired or if a line replacement is needed. Documentation is provided for your records and for insurance or warranty purposes.

Absolutely. Whether you're adding a fireplace, upgrading to a tankless water heater, installing a new furnace, or connecting a pool heater, we run new appliance connections, install proper fittings and shutoff valves, pressure-test the entire run, and coordinate inspections with Technical Safety BC if your work requires a permit. We ensure compatibility with your existing system and compliance with current BC code.

We service and install gas lines for all major brands—furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, and specialized equipment. We're an Armstrong Air ProTeam Dealer and work extensively with Navien tankless water heaters. If you have a specific brand or model, let us know and we'll confirm compatibility and provide the best installation approach for your system.

Simple connections can be completed in a few hours; larger installations or replacements may take a day or two depending on scope, local conditions, and permitting timelines. We'll give you a realistic estimate during your consultation.

A safety check is a general inspection of your gas system for visible hazards, proper ventilation, and working shutoff valves. A leak detection is a specific test to find gas escaping from lines or fittings using specialized equipment. Both are valuable; the right choice depends on your situation.
