Q: Who do I call to install a new natural gas line?

• <div><p>Most qualified local plumbers in your area should be able to help with this job. However, it's always best to check with your utility company before starting any gas-related project. Speak with them about your needs and request recommendations for licensed plumbers who can pull permits and properly install the line.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to put in a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be worth installing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-fireplace-guide.htm">gas fireplace</a>, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my existing natural gas furnace to propane?

• <div><p>Some natural gas furnaces can be converted to propane with a conversion kit, but not all models are compatible. Consult a licensed HVAC pro to determine if conversion is possible and cost-effective for your system. The process involves changes to burner orifices and safety controls, and must be completed to code.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to fix a gas line?

• <div><p>If your existing gas line requires a simple fix or a small replacement and it's easy to access, you can expect it to take <b>one or two hours</b>. A more complex project like fixing an underground gas line can take several days to complete. Consult a gas plumber near you with the specifics of your project to receive an accurate estimate of the price and time commitment.</p></div>
