Q: Who installs or runs gas lines?

• <div><p>Plumbers typically install and run gas lines. While most qualified local plumbers can handle this job, you might consider hiring a natural gas line plumber who specializes in this work. Before starting any project, it's best to check with your local utility company. They can offer recommendations for licensed plumbers who are authorized to pull permits and ensure the installation is done correctly. Regardless of who you hire, always verify that they have the proper licenses and credentials for working with gas lines.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my oil furnace to gas?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to convert an oil furnace to gas. However, you may have to replace the furnace completely instead of simply converting it. If the original oil furnace has had any type of damage or is older (typically considered over 15 years old), then you will likely need a full replacement versus a conversion.</p></div>

Q: Is pipefitting considered plumbing?

• <div><p>Even though their jobs sound similar&mdash;both professions work on pipes&mdash;a plumber and pipefitter actually have very different jobs, and pipefitting isn&rsquo;t considered plumbing. Pipefitting is done in commercial and industrial buildings and factories, and the pipes carry gas, chemicals, acid, and other potentially hazardous substances. Pipefitters often work in intense conditions while plumbers may work in lower-pressure environments.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>
