I wanted a gas lamp removed from my front yard. I was not using it and am not planning on ever using it. Specialty Gas removed the lamp, took all of the pieces with them, and also capped off the gas line in the house. I am very happy with this company. I have also used them to fix a gas leak with my dryer.

I called thinking I needed a service call on my gas fireplace; however, after talking with the gentleman, he advised me that I didn't need to spend the money. My unit is working as usual and provided some great ideas on resolving what issues i feel I have (soot buildup, uneven flame, etc.). I will definitely use a company that doesn't take advantage of an uneducated home owner just for some money! So refreshing to have honesty in this type of situation! Thank you!

The technician arrived before the actual appointment time which was great. He found the problem quickly (a disconnected wire) and fixed it efficiently. He was very courteous and friendly, but stayed on task. He made sure the firebox was clean and refreshed the items that make the whole fire/fireplace appear more realistic. We will not hesitate to do business with Specialty Gas services in the future should the need arise. GREAT JOB!

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Specialty Gas House. I employed them to fix a nonfunctioning gas log fireplace. Eric (the technician) was very polite and knowledgeable. He came when scheduled (actually 5 minutes early) and called both the day before the appointment and 30 minutes before he arrived. When he arrived he took off his shoes and put down a tarp. He left the fireplace sparkling clean and looking brand new. The cost was quite reasonable and the work was excellent.

They take care of it. They also take care of my gas lights. I go back to them because they are the only ones who do it. I have had Rob do work for me since 1990. I have male dogs who like to pee on the regular light poles in the backyard. He got me stainless steel light poles for the backyard; all they affect is the copper underneath now. They don't seem to bother the one that's in the brick patio. About once every few years, we have to change about six inches of copper. It isn't that big of a deal. He is really easy to work with. The crew is great. I have known him since he was just an installer for the people who used to own the place. He is really easy to work with.

gas leak repair

We had an in-line gas pipe valve in our basement which leaked when opened. The service manager scheduled a service call for the next day at 3:30 to 4:00 PM. The repairman was not able to meet the appointment due to unforeseen complications at the previous appointment, but he did call well ahead of time to inform me that he would be about an hour late. He eventually arrived within the time he had stated. I explained the problem and he was able to confirm the problem and fix the valve very quickly.I had also stated that sometime last year I suspected a small gas leak around my natural gas grill out on the patio. Even though I could smell no gas recently, it still made me nervous. He did a thorough check, including a pressure check on the line, and concluded that there was no leak. (Now that I think about it, I was probably smelling gas from that leaky valve inside migrating through the nearby dryer vent.) He was professional, personable, efficient, and seemed to have several years of experience. I will definitely call Specialty Gas Services again if I ever have any gas line problems in the future.

It went great! I visited their store and spoke with Rob. He walked me through how the logs worked, differences between types and took time answering all of my questions. While the listed prices on the log sets were higher than Lowes and Home Depot, I found them to look more realistic and worth the difference. Adam installed the logs. He came right on time and the installation was smooth . He made sure to keep everything neat. I had no clean-up after he was done. I also had a remote control starter installed and he took the time to explain the operation to me, as well as walking me through the process. I would highly suggest to include remote starter with log purchase. It is extra, but well worth it!

I had chosen Specialty Gas since they were willing to complete the job before the holidays and they were the lowest priced at $250.00. Naturally, the low price was escalated to $305 upon arrival. (Invoice $9236) This $55 increase was due to the plumbing code requirement that requires Corrugated Stainless Steel Tube (CSST) to be 'bonded and grounded'. To be honest, I was surprised that a house built in 2003 did not already contain this requirement. Nonetheless, I agreed to have this ground wire installed. Otherwise, he would not be permitted to install the gas line and I would stuck searching for another vendor. However, after measuring the amount of copper wire used (tonight), it actually measured 9 feet, not 19 as billed on the invoice. Wow, how did I miss this?!?! Not only was I over billed for an additional 10 feet of wire, but I had failed to actually check the amount used before I paid. Shame on me. More troubling, the installer broke my son's heirloom Halloween candy dish when he attempted to install the gas line (see pic). Next, the installer managed to cut one of the security system lines and then had the gumption to ask me for a piece of electrical tape to fix it (see pic). Really?!?! Out of all the tools in your truck, you couldn't locate any electrical tape? Pathetic. Finally, I was left to clean up the saw dust shavings from the installation. Apparently his truck didn't contain a broom and dustpan either. I'm aware that this company holds an A rating with Angies LIst and I'm really surprised that I received this type of service from such a highly rated company. However, full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order for this installer. I expected to be compensated for my strife in the amount of $125 ($75 clean up/wire repair fee, $26.10 for over billed ground wire and $23.90 for the heirloom candy dish). If you need an invoice for accounting purposes, please let me know and I will submit immediately.

Response from Specialty Gas Services Inc
To note, I received an email from this member today 2/2/12 that was a copy/paste of the comment above. I have shared my email reply with all members/potential customers for your review. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. The additional charge was for us to protect you and your family since there were no rules regarding bonding (grounding) of your piping system when the house was built ten or eleven years ago. From what I understand there have been quite a few home fires from unprotected csst piping systems and the manufacturers guidelines have changed within the last 5 years. There was not a cost per foot or labor, just a materials fee to do the project right and make sure your home’s piping system was protected in case of a lightning strike. When we schedule jobs we always make sure our customers know that a final estimate will be given before the work will be done and I’m sure you were informed of that. In regards to your request for reimbursement, I would like to understand why I am hearing about your dissatisfaction 2+ months after we performed the work. I would have appreciated a note on the invoice or a phone call or an e-mail so I could have addressed this right after it occurred. I apologize that this happened but it’s hard for me to justify a cash reimbursement for the amount you are asking for after such a long period of time. If you would like something for your trouble I will offer you a couple of 20# propane tank refills here at the store. It is very important to us that our customers are satisfied. Unfortunately/apparently we failed to provide this customer with the level of service that most all others have received. We are human after all. Rob Schenz, Owner

Was very impressed with Rob and the product itself. We had some issues with the service person who installed them. I spoke to Rob about these issues, not to complain but to let him know so he could take corrective action. He thanked me profusely. Later that day, he called me back to tell me the matter had been addressed and thanked me again for letting him know. Rob takes his work very seriously and puts an emphasis on customer service.
Description of Work: Had the gas log fireplace checked out by Specialty Gas. The service person told me about more realistic gas logs that they have with a remote control start. My husband, being a guy, went crazy about the remote. We went to the store and the owner, Rob, spent a lot of time with us, explaining the different options. We ordered the logs and they were installed the next week. They are absolutely wonderful and look very realistic.

Great experience from start to finish. We stopped in to the store to pick out the log set we wanted. Robert was very accommodating and very knowledgeable. We ordered and, when the system was delivered to the shop, Robert called and we scheduled the install. The installer arrived as scheduled and began by removing the old log set that had been unused since we bought the house, so for at least 9 years. When the installer cleaned out the old gravel, he noticed that there appeared to be some evidence of a water leak in the old firebox. He suggested, and I agreed, that we delay installation until I had a mason come out and assess the leakage issue. After the mason assessed and repaired the leak, Specialty Gas Services returned, completed the installation and showed me how to get the pilot lit and how to use the log set. I was impressed that the installer called the leak to my attention, even though it would complicate his schedule. He could have simply laid in the new gravel and put the new logs in, and I would never have known. That was good customer service. I recommend this company without reservation!
Description of Work: Removed old gas log set, certified gas line, inspected the fireplace, noted a potential water leak. After I had a mason come in to deal with the leak, Specialty Gas Service returned, installed the new ventless gas log system, trained me on starting and using the system, and cleaned up after themselves.

WOW! After four years of trying to get the company that installed our gas log fireplace to come out and look at the remote starter with no response, we finally started searching and found specialty Gas Services (thanks to Angie's List)...what a terrific company! We live about 35 miles from Columbus, and were told that an additional service charge would apply prior to setting the appointment. The appointment was between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. on a Tuesday evening. At 5:00, the technician called to say he was going to be later due to another appointment running long and to expect him between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. - which was fine. At 6:50, he called to say he would arrive at 7:05 and he did. We truly appreciated the calls! He was thorough, clean and professional. He explained everything about our fireplace, which we've had since 1995. We expected to replace the unit, but it wasn't necessary. He cleaned the entire unit. We always cleaned the area under the unit, but were never told that it should be serviced every two years...go figure. The remote turned out to be the issue, as we hoped it would be. The technician (Eric - great guy!) replaced the remote starter and, instead of spending $2,000.00, we spent only $245.00 for the call and the starter. We will call them for everything we need going forward. They are wonderful!
