"Anthony was on time, polite, friendly, and professional. He explained things really well, and he has a fabulous eye for design. The gas log set he recommended looks beautiful in our home and matches our decor perfectly. We LOVE it. He also painted the inside of our fireplace black, which looks amazing! No more sooty walls! His assistant installed a high-quality chimney cap with a lifetime warranty. We are very happy to have that taken care of to guard against rodents, etc., getting in the house through the chimney. Although the assistant threw the old chimney cap in the yard and left it there, we are overall extremely pleased with A1 Chimney. The whole process took only a few hours, and we have been enjoying our fireplace ever since. Thanks, Anthony!"
"We started this project with Rob from Fire It Up. We had a crack in the floor of the fireplace to be fixed and we wanted gas logs installed. Rob seemed knowledgeable and personable even the first time he showed up for the initial evaluation and quote. Once he started the job, Rob sealed all the cracks and after a couple days when the cement had cured, he was able to install the gas logs. Rob even returned to fix the way the fire displayed through the logs when we indicated that we were not initially satisfied. He made it right. If you want someone who has integrity enough to do the job right, call on Rob at Fire It Up."
"Timely and well done repair service to our chimney. From the initial phone call through the follow up, they delivered what was promised on the reasonable price."
"I was extremely pleased with the service I received and the outcome. Very knowledgable gentleman who worked on the leaks - I felt very confident when Peoples gas came out that everything would be in order and it was!! I highly recommend this company, and I an not easy to please."
"Hired to install underground gas line to pool and garage. They were very courteous and professional. Cleaned up the job site well. The pipe work was a little sloppy (terminations were not plumb coming out of ground and garage termination was secured with metal straps instead of a nice pipe clamp)but they didn't hesitate to make it right and they did. The installer did over engineer the project by running 2 individual lines which unnecessarily added to the cost but the bldg inspector says all was done within code. The one thing I felt could have been done better was communication by the installer regarding where and how they would set the pipe terminations. Partly my fault for not being proactive and asking, partly there's for not asking where I wanted them and how. These guys are not cheap but overall they corrected any issues I had and were professional. I leak checked everything and installed the pool heater. All is good and we are happy."
"While they were very quick to schedule an appt., they were a little slow to show up. They did cap the chimney (all I really wanted), they gave me a rather expensive quote for doing additional work that a local stove person said he didn't see the need for. There are several more local companies that I wish I had used."

"I called various companies, they either seemed to lack confidence to do the job, didn't want the job, or didn't know how to do the job without the gas on. When I called this company, they knew exactly what needed to be done. I made an appointment and took the day off from work. My appointment came and went with nobody showing up. I called and asked for an update and they said they were busy and would have someone out ASAP. The plumber showed up 45 minutes after the original 3 hour window I was given. The plumber had an appointment sheet with my name and info with the wrong appointment window on it. It basically seemed like my appointment got lost in the system and they didn't send someone out until I called to see why no one had arrived. The plumber was great, he really was an expert. He gave me a breakdown of what needed to be done and gave me prices. At this point I had been without gas for a few days and was ready to get this process going, which is why I was willing to overpay. The plumber then informed me that they charge extra because it was getting late, so I replied that it wasn't my fault because his company lost my appointment for an earlier time. He called in and they said they would do it. He did the work, did it well, was very knowledgeable, was very polite, and I got my gas back on. My biggest problem is the price, which is my fault because I agreed to pay it, I understand that. I agreed to pay because I was able to and needed my home to be fully functional for my children, not because I thought it was a fair price. The cost was $1900. As far as parts go, I don't believe it was more than $300 (3 ball valves, 1 pipe cap, joint sealant, air compressor, gas leak solution, air gauge with pipe to tap into gas line), that means they charged $1600 for 4 hours of labor. $400 an hour just seems high to me. Again the work was done perfectly, the plumber was an expert, I have no doubt that they can do multiple jobs at a very high level, and I understand that you get what you pay for, but it just seemed high."
All U.S. states require permits for gas grill installation, so you’ll have to get one before you move forward with your project. Permits help ensure that the gas line runs safely to avoid gas leaks and explosions. Gas line permits can usually also only be pulled by certified plumbers, which means you’ll have to hire a professional from the start. The permit for a gas line installation for a gas grill usually costs between $100 and $300. You can contact your installation company or building department for more accurate pricing.
You can maneuver your gas grill into place, but you cannot connect the grill to your gas source yourself. All municipalities mandate that a certified plumber carry out this work, so you’ll have to reach out to a plumber or a gas grill installation company in your area. Given how dangerous a gas leak can be, gas lines and connections are highly regulated, so you’ll need a professional’s help and a permit to install a gas grill.
The most significant benefit of having a gas grill over a propane grill is that you never run out of fuel unless there’s an outage in your area, which is rare. Unlike with a propane grill, you’ll never need to haul tanks back and forth to a local fill station, and you’ll never find yourself unable to use your grill because you forgot to refill your tanks. Gas grills also burn slightly cleaner than propane grills, and natural gas costs significantly less than propane, meaning it’s more affordable to run your grill.
Local codes often mandate specific fittings, permits, and vent considerations for permitted function and safety, which are enforced by professionals.
Gas grill installation costs around $540 on average, not including the price of the actual grill, and most homeowners pay between $120 and $1,400. This total will go toward laying down a new gas line, connecting it to your existing gas system, pressure testing the line, and connecting it to your grill. Your total project price will depend on the length of the gas line, whether or not the line needs to be installed underground, and the cost of the permits in your area.
