Q: How much does gas appliance installation cost?

• <div><p>Depending on the appliance and labor requirements, costs range from $150 to $500.</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: Can you put a built-in grill against the house?

• <div><p>No. Placing a built-in grill against the house is discouraged due to safety concerns. Building codes and regulations often require a minimum distance (typically 10 feet or more) between a gas grill and any combustible structure, including a house. Placing a grill too close poses a fire hazard and risks damage to the siding or structure, potentially leading to carbon monoxide buildup. It's essential to consult local building codes, follow manufacturer guidelines, and prioritize safety by positioning the grill at a safe distance, ideally in a well-ventilated outdoor kitchen or designated grill area.</p></div>
