Connecting your household and commercial appliances to your gas supply safely and reliably.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our Gas Appliance Connections
Certified Gas Contractor
Licensed and trained to perform all gas appliance connections to BC code standards. Every connection passes our rigorous safety checks before we hand over the keys. We hold the credentials required to work on gas systems in British Columbia and stay current with all provincial technical standards. Your connection isn't done until it passes our pressure test and our walk-through inspection.
Expert Equipment Compatibility
We connect kitchen ranges, cooktops, ovens, tankless water heaters, tank water heaters, fireplaces, pool heaters, outdoor grills, and specialized commercial equipment. We know the gas requirements, pressure specifications, and regulatory requirements for each appliance type. We don't just connect it and hope for the best—we verify that the gas supply, the venting (where required), and the ignition sequence are all correct for that specific appliance.
Full Inspection & Testing
After installation, we pressure-test the entire system from the main gas entry to the final fitting at the appliance. We use electronic leak-detection equipment to find any micro-leaks before you ever turn the appliance on. You get a written report of all test results, and we walk you through each finding so you understand what was tested and why it passed.
Permit & Compliance Management
We coordinate with Technical Safety BC, pull the necessary permits, and schedule inspections so your installation meets all provincial requirements. BC has specific rules for where gas lines can run, how they must be supported, what materials are allowed, and how connections must be made. We know these rules and build every installation to exceed the minimum. No surprises later, no code violations, no failed inspections.
Honest Diagnostics & Clear Pricing
We explain the work upfront, give you a detailed scope, and never recommend connections you don't need. If a kitchen remodel can use your existing gas line, we'll tell you. If you need to extend the line or install a new one, we'll explain why and show you the cost before we start.

Our Process
Our Gas Appliance Connection Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
We visit your location and evaluate where the appliance will sit, what gas line exists, and what work is needed. We check for adequate gas supply, proper venting (where required), and code compliance from the start. This is a crucial step—skipping it is how amateurs create undersized lines, improper venting, and code violations.
-
Verify existing gas line size and pressure at multiple points (supply pressure, pressure at the meter, pressure at existing appliances) -
Confirm appliance gas requirements and connection type (Natural Gas vs. Propane, BTU demand, inlet pressure, connection fitting size) -
Identify venting or exhaust needs (ranges, water heaters, fireplaces, and tankless units all have specific venting rules in BC) -
Evaluate the location for routing: through walls, under floors, in crawlspaces, or external conduit -
Plan the route for any new piping or extensions, accounting for code requirements (support spacing, protection from damage, accessibility)
2. Permit Acquisition & Pre-Approval
Before we start, we pull the required permits from Technical Safety BC. This ensures your installation is on the books and scheduled for inspection at the right stages.
-
File permit applications with Technical Safety BC -
Provide appliance specifications and installation drawings -
Secure pre-approval for the work scope -
Schedule Technical Safety BC inspection windows if required
3. Installation & Connection
Our certified technicians run the gas line, connect the appliance, test the gas flow, and verify that everything works correctly. We ensure all fittings are secure, all seals are airtight, and the appliance fires up cleanly. Installation is where precision matters most—a rushed or careless connection can leak, corrode, or fail inspection.
-
Run or extend the gas line to the appliance location, securing it to code (proper spacing, support brackets, protection from damage) -
Install fittings per appliance manufacturer specifications and BC Technical Code (using approved materials, proper thread sealant, correct inlet pressure) -
Connect the appliance and install necessary safety fixtures (shutoff valves at the appliance, drip legs to collect condensation, proper adapters for different connection types) -
Purge air from the new line segment to remove oxygen that could corrode the copper or interfere with proper ignition -
Perform initial ignition and flame verification (checking flame color, stability, and the appliance's response to controls)
4. Pressure Testing & Leak Detection
We use professional leak-detection equipment to ensure the entire system—from your main line to the appliance—is completely airtight. This is non-negotiable for safety. A tiny leak that you cannot smell (especially micro-leaks at joints) can gradually damage the line, corrode fittings, or create a hazard over time. We find them before they become a problem.
-
Pressure-test the entire new line segment and all connections using a specialized gauge and nitrogen (not air, which can corrode copper and create a spark risk) -
Use electronic leak detection to identify any micro-leaks or pinhole leaks that visual inspection would miss -
Verify gas flow rate and pressure at the appliance to confirm the line is sized correctly and the pressure regulator (if required) is functioning -
Document all test results for your records—you'll get a written report showing pressure, flow, and leak-test results -
Ensure the system is airtight before we leave so you can use your new appliance safely and with confidence
5. Final Inspection & Handoff
Once Technical Safety BC approves the installation (if required), we provide you with a certificate of compliance, show you how to use the appliance safely, and answer any questions you have.
-
Coordinate final Technical Safety BC inspection (if applicable) -
Provide written documentation and compliance certificates -
Walk you through appliance operation and safety shutoff -
Leave you with contact info for any future questions
Common Questions
Gas Appliance Connection Questions
We connect kitchen ranges, cooktops, ovens, tankless and tank water heaters, space heaters, fireplace inserts, gas fireplaces, pool and spa heaters, outdoor grills and kitchen islands, and commercial cooking equipment. If you're unsure whether your appliance can be gas-connected, call us—we'll advise on feasibility and code compliance.
Most appliance connections in BC require a permit from Technical Safety BC. We handle the permitting process for you—it's included in our service. The permit ensures your installation is inspected and code-compliant, which protects your home and your insurance coverage.
A typical connection—like linking a new range to an existing gas line—takes 2–4 hours. Longer jobs, such as running a new line across your kitchen or installing a tankless water heater, may take a full day. We give you a timeline upfront when we assess the work.
Absolutely. We pressure-test the entire system and use electronic leak detection to confirm everything is airtight. You'll receive a written report of all test results, and we'll walk you through the results so you know the job is done right.
We design and install every connection to Technical Safety BC standards, so passing inspection is the norm. If an issue arises, we correct it. Your satisfaction and safety are our priority.
Yes. We have experience with commercial cooking equipment, commercial water heaters, and other commercial gas systems. We work to Commercial Code standards and coordinate with the appropriate inspectors for your operation.
Yes. We run dedicated gas lines to outdoor patios, pergolas, and kitchen islands. The work is the same—professional installation, pressure testing, and compliance with all codes, including for exterior locations.
Cost depends on the appliance type, the distance of the gas line run, and any new piping needed. We provide a free site assessment and a clear quote before any work begins. Ask about our flexible financing options if the project is larger than expected.
Safety comes from proper sizing (the line must deliver the right pressure and volume), secure fittings (all connections must be airtight), and compliance with BC code. We check every one of these. After installation, professional pressure testing confirms no leaks exist anywhere in the system.
Yes. We connect both natural gas (from FortisBC) and propane appliances. The connection process is similar, but the equipment and pressure regulators differ. We know the specifics for each and will discuss which fuel type suits your needs.
