Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Really Need a Licensed Plumber for Gas Line Installation?

Yes, gas line installation should be handled by a licensed professional. Gas piping involves specific code requirements, pressure ratings, and safety checks that are not always obvious to someone without training. A licensed, insured plumber has the background to properly size lines, select appropriate materials, and test the system before use. At Mike Douglass Plumbing, our plumbers handle these details so you do not have to guess or take unnecessary risks. Working with a professional reduces the chance of leaks, inspection issues, and future problems with your appliances.

How Much Does It Cost to Run a New Gas Line to My Appliance?

The cost to run a new gas line depends on several factors, such as the distance from your existing piping, the type of appliance, the materials needed, and the ease of access to the route. For example, running a short line to a nearby range is usually simpler than installing a longer line through finished walls or ceilings to reach an outdoor kitchen. Because every property layout is different, we provide free on-site estimates instead of flat prices over the phone. During the visit, we review your setup, explain the options, and give you a clear written estimate so you know what to expect before we begin.

Can Your Team Handle Permits & Inspections for Gas Line Work?

In many cases, we can help with the permit and inspection process required by local building departments for gas line projects. The specific steps depend on the jurisdiction and the type of work planned. In areas of Charlotte, Sarasota, and Manatee counties where permits are required, we typically prepare the necessary documentation and plan the work to align with inspection schedules. Our goal is to manage these details on your behalf whenever possible, so you are not left figuring out paperwork and requirements on your own. We also let you know in advance whether your project will require permits or inspections.

How Long Will My Gas Line Installation Take?

The time required for a gas line installation varies depending on the project's complexity and the conditions at your property. A simple residential line to a nearby appliance might be completed in a single visit, while longer runs, work through finished spaces, or larger commercial needs may take more time. If permits and inspections are involved, scheduling with local offices can also affect the overall timeline. During your estimate, we discuss the expected duration and scheduling options so you can plan accordingly. We strive to complete projects efficiently while still giving each step the attention it needs for safety and quality.

What Should I Do If I Smell Gas at My Home or Business?

If you smell gas, treat it as a safety concern and take action right away. Common guidance is to avoid open flames, do not use light switches, and move people and pets to a safe location outside the building if you can do so safely. From there, contact your gas provider, then call a licensed plumbing company to investigate and address any issues. Mike Douglass Plumbing is available 24/7, so you can reach our team at any time if you suspect a gas problem. When you call, we walk through your situation, explain recommended steps, and arrange for a plumber to inspect your system as soon as possible.

Can You Add Gas Lines for Outdoor Kitchens, Pool Heaters, or Generators?

Yes, we regularly install and modify gas lines for outdoor kitchens, grills, fire features, pool heaters, and standby generators. These projects are common in coastal communities, where outdoor living and reliable backup power are especially important. When planning this type of work, we consider appliance locations, BTU requirements, and pipe routing to ensure the system has sufficient capacity and remains accessible for future service. During your estimate, we discuss your plans, review the layout, and recommend gas line designs that support both current and potential future equipment.

Will You Clean Up After the Gas Line Installation Is Finished?

Yes, caring for your property is an important part of how we work. Our plumbers take steps to protect floors, walls, and landscaping where we work whenever practical for the project. After installation, we remove our tools and materials, pick up debris, and leave the work area as neat as the job allows. If we need to open walls, ceilings, or other finishes, we explain in advance what will be involved and what level of restoration is included in our scope of work. Customers choose us in part because we respect their homes and businesses and work to minimize disruption.
