"*DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRUST THIS COMPANY.* They entered my house without permission and fraudulently billed me over $400 for an emergency after-hours service call that I NEVER REQUESTED. Reader, there was no emergency and they never even had the courtesy to call to check if there was or to request permission to ENTER MY HOME, at night, without my knowledge. This is absolute insanity - my house is in a quiet wooded area and the thought that I could have been there alone and men just showed up at my door at night, uninvited and unannounced, is frankly terrifying. I've been a customer for 10 years for my vacation home in Jamaica, but Cota & Cota has now completely betrayed my trust. Having stored my door lock code in their files after a prior (legitimate) service visit, they just let themselves in, did god knows what (again, THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY), and then sent me a $400+ bill. That is completely unacceptable, a grievous betrayal of trust and, by the way, illegal. Cota & Cota's excuse for why they did this isn't any better either - after being an auto-delivery propane customer for about 10 years, without any notice to me, Cota switched my account to COD, meaning I'd have to call them to request delivery. I had no idea, SINCE THEY DIDN'T INFORM ME OF THIS ILLEGAL CHANGE TO MY ACCOUNT (yes, that's illegal under VT law too), and then they didn't make a propane delivery to my house for 11 months. Well according to Cota, they just spontaneously realized one day that they hadn't made a delivery in a while and probably should have, so they decided that my tank must be empty, our heat must be off, and it was February so my pipes could freeze! They realized that would be 100% their fault, since they had illegally switched my account from auto-delivery to COD, but instead of calling to CHECK if there was a problem with the heat, they ran right over to my house at night, illegally entered my home and then billed me for an "emergency" after hours "call" that I NEVER REQUESTED OR AUTHORIZED. I wasn't there at the time (thank god), but I have a webcam in the house which shows a digital reading of the internal temperature in the house and could easily have let them know if there was a problem (there wasn't). Mind you, I only got this version of the story after about 6 calls to Cota to sort out the billing issue for the "emergency after-hours call". I was blatantly lied to by three different people before being transferred to Jason Terry, the manager, who then told me the "truth" (which I highly doubt is actually the truth). I won't even get into the very shady delivery of propane that they subsequently made, in which they had struck out the metered price on the delivery ticket and manually increased it by over 50 cents per gallon, but that certainly looks very suspicious to me too and we have reason to believe that the number of gallons billed were not actually delivered. Consider yourself warned, especially if you are an owner of a vacation home in their service area. We have to trust local service people when we can't be there, but Cota & Cota has proven that they do not deserve that trust and should be avoided."

Gas Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

It can cost anywhere from $200 to $5,000 to repair a gas line. The cost may vary depending on where the problem is located. For example, if there’s a small gas leak somewhere that’s easy to access, the cost could be on the lower side. On the other hand, repairing buried lines and lines in other hard-to-reach areas will be more expensive.

In North America, pipe measurements are listed as the nominal pipe size (NPS). This measurement refers to the outside diameter. As an example, a 1/2-inch copper pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8 of an inch. If a hardware store lists a pipe as having a 2 NPS, it means that all the pipes with this measurement have a 2 ⅜-inch outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness and inside diameter.

Renovation projects that require moving a gas-powered appliance may also require moving the gas line that supplies it. The cost to move a gas line falls between $375 and $750 and will depend on how far the line needs to be moved, the cost of the permits, and how much excavation is needed, along with other factors. 

Propane is more cost-efficient than natural gas on a per-unit basis because it produces twice as much heat energy as an equivalent amount of natural gas. But propane is not ideal if you already have a gas line installed. The best choice for your home depends on the efficiency of your appliances and the amount of installation required of your fuel choice.

Natural gas companies advise only shutting off the gas supply at the meter yourself if you smell natural gas or suspect there is a leak, typically following an emergency. Instead, you can shut off gas to individual appliances when necessary. If you want to turn off your natural gas entirely, you should contact your utility company. You’ll generally also need to acquire a permit to work on your natural gas line.
