Should a plumber be licensed and certified to install gas lines?

• <div><p>Yes, most states require a plumber to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local plumber guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

What appliances need to be connected to a gas line?

• <div><p>Appliances typically connected to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-gas-line.htm">gas line</a> include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-it-cost-install-gas-stove-home-already-has-gas.htm">gas stoves</a>, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-vs-electric-water-heaters.htm">water heaters</a>, furnaces, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-convert-wood-fireplace-gas.htm">gas fireplaces</a>. Essentially, any appliance in your home that uses gas needs to be connected to a gas line, which connects your home with the main gas line owned and operated by your gas company.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a gas appliance myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety concerns. Professional installation ensures proper connections and compliance with codes.</p></div>

Q: Are there specific codes or permits required for gas appliance installation?

• <div><p>Local codes often mandate specific fittings, permits, and vent considerations for permitted function and safety, which are enforced by professionals.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a gas grill myself?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll need a professional&rsquo;s help and a permit to install a gas grill.</p></div>
