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

• <div><p>Installing a gas line is no simple task. From start to finish, you&rsquo;re looking at anywhere from six to 12 weeks to acquire the correct permits, dig a trench, and connect your appliances. Naturally, the longer the gas line, the longer it will take to complete. If your plumber needs to hire additional contractors to dig trenches and navigate around or remove obstacles, this could put you at the longer end of the timeframe. </p><p>Once the land is prepped and licenses acquired, installing the actual line may only take a few days to a few weeks, weather permitting.</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: Why does pipe size matter?

• <div><p>Having the right size pipe ensures proper drainage and helps protect against clogs and other plumbing problems. A pipe that's too small will take longer to drain, which can result in backups. And solids can build up in pipes that are too large. Choosing a pipe with the appropriate volume also means it will be able to handle water pressure, which is the force behind the water. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to cap off a gas pipe?

• <div><p>Capping a gas line costs approximately <b>$125</b>. The final price varies from <b>$75 and $150 </b>depending on your contractor&rsquo;s hourly rate. To completely remove a gas line and cap it at the base can cost up to <b>$250</b>. Most contractors will charge a flat fee instead of by the hour since capping is often part of a larger project.</p></div>
