Q: Is it hard to learn how to remove a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>Because of the potential danger associated with incorrectly capping the gas line that serves the gas fireplace, many people will choose to hire a professional to do the work. Some homeowners may choose to hire a pro to only handle the gas line for them. They then may attempt to remove the actual insert on their own, which is a challenging&mdash;but not impossible&mdash;DIY project.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues in gas piping that require attention?

• <div><p>Leaks, low pressure, or inefficient flow are common problems needing professional repairs.</p></div>

Q: Can I fix a gas leak myself?

• <div><p>No, homeowners should never attempt to fix a gas leak themselves. Gas leaks pose serious health and fire hazards. Exposure to leaking gas can make you sick, and accumulated gas can ignite and explode. So always take leaks seriously and seek the help of a pro right away. While you may be able to detect a gas leak, always call a licensed professional to handle repairs and replacements.</p></div>

Q: Who installs gas dryers?

• <div><p>You will need to hire a professional installation technician or plumber to connect your dryer to your gas line or install a new line. Your gas company may be able to help you find a capable, reputable professional in your area.</p></div>

Yes, most states require a plumber to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Check our state licensing tool to review the local plumber guidelines.
