Gas line work in Peoria covers new lines for a range, a water heater, an outdoor kitchen, or a fire feature, along with repairs to existing lines that show corrosion, damage, or a suspected leak. This is not a category where shortcuts are acceptable, and it is not one where a homeowner should attempt their own repair.
All gas work is done to code, permitted through the City of Peoria, and pressure-tested before we consider a line complete. If you smell gas, that is the one plumbing situation where the first call should never be to schedule a convenient appointment.
Common gas line work
New line runs for a range, a gas water heater or tankless unit, an outdoor kitchen or fire pit, or a pool heater are among the most frequent requests, especially as outdoor living spaces expand in newer Peoria neighborhoods. We size the line to the appliance's actual demand and the length of run required, not a generic assumption.
Repairs address corroded fittings, damaged lines from landscaping or construction work, and connections that have failed a pressure test. Any of these gets fixed and retested before the gas is turned back on.
Permits, testing, and doing it safely
Gas work in Peoria requires permitting and inspection, and every new or repaired line is pressure-tested to confirm there is no leak before it is put into service. This is not paperwork for its own sake; it is the actual verification that the work is safe.
If you ever smell gas in or around your home, leave the area immediately and call the gas utility from a safe distance before calling us. That single response matters more than anything else in a suspected leak situation.
Southwest Gas is the natural gas provider across Peoria and the wider Phoenix metro, and any new service connection or line relocation is coordinated with them alongside the city's own permit and inspection process.
We also handle the smaller but common request of relocating an existing gas line during a kitchen or laundry remodel, which still requires the same pressure test and inspection sign-off as an entirely new run.

Frequently asked questions
Can I install a gas line myself?
No, and this is one category where we would say that plainly regardless of the job. Gas work in Peoria requires a licensed contractor, permitting, and pressure testing, all for good reason.
How long does a new gas line installation take?
It depends on the length of run and whether it involves trenching or wall access, but most single-appliance installs are completed in a day, including the permit inspection scheduling.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave immediately, avoid anything that could spark, and call the gas utility from outside once you are at a safe distance. Do not try to locate or fix the source yourself.
Do outdoor kitchens and fire features need a permitted gas line?
Yes, any new gas appliance, indoor or outdoor, needs a properly sized, permitted, and pressure-tested line, which is exactly the kind of work we do for the growing number of outdoor living spaces in Peoria.
