Gas Installation Service in Mahopac NY – Licensed Gas Experts Since 1980

When you want to switch from electric to gas cooking or convert your old oil heating to natural gas, you need gas installation service in Mahopac NY that's licensed, experienced, and does the work safely. We've been handling gas installations around Mahopac for over 45 years because gas work isn't something you trust to just anyone.

Natural gas service has expanded throughout Mahopac over the past two decades. Houses that used to run on oil heat and electric appliances now have access to gas lines, which is cheaper to operate and more efficient. But converting to gas requires proper licensing, permits, and expertise – this isn't DIY territory.

Last year, we converted 35 homes from oil to gas heating and installed gas lines for probably 60 new ranges and cooktops. The homes around Lake Mahopac and Mahopac Falls are finally getting gas service, and people are switching over because the savings add up fast. When you've worked with gas systems for three decades, you know how to do it right and keep it safe.

Gas Line Installation and Repair

Gas lines carry fuel to your appliances and heating equipment. When they're installed wrong or develop leaks, you've got serious safety issues.

Our gas line installation and repair service handles running new lines for appliances, extending existing lines, and fixing damaged or leaking pipes. All gas work requires proper permits from local municipalities, which we pull and manage for you.

Installing gas lines means sizing pipes correctly for the BTU load of your appliances. Too small and you dont get enough gas flow. We calculate what's needed, run black iron or CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) from your meter to appliances, pressure test everything, and get inspections done.

The older homes in Baldwin Place sometimes have old gas lines that were never updated when appliances changed. We've found undersized lines, improper fittings, and DIY work that failed inspection. When we do gas work, it's done to current code with proper materials.

Gas line repairs usually involve leaking joints or corroded sections. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas company first. Once they've shut off gas and cleared the area, we find the leak and fix it properly. Sometimes its just a loose fitting. Other times you need pipe replacement.

Gas Leak Detection and Repair

Gas leaks are dangerous. Natural gas is odorless naturally, so they add that rotten egg smell so you can detect leaks. But small leaks dont always smell strong enough to notice before they cause problems.

Our gas leak detection and repair service uses electronic leak detectors and soapy water tests to find leaks you cant smell. We check all connections, valves, and pipe sections to make sure your gas system is tight.

Common leak points include shut-off valves that weren't sealed right, flex connectors behind appliances that cracked or loosened, and pipe joints that corroded over time. Most leaks are fixable with new fittings or pipe sections.

After storms or earthquakes, gas lines can shift and develop leaks. The ground movement stresses pipes and connections. We inspect gas systems after significant ground movement to make sure everything's still safe.

If you smell gas inside your house, dont turn lights on or off, dont use your phone inside, and get everyone out. Electrical sparks can ignite gas. Call the utility company from outside or a neighbors house. They'll shut off gas and check for leaks. Then we can make repairs.

Emergency Gas Service

When you smell gas or your gas equipment fails and you need heat or cooking ability, you need help right away. Our service covers urgent gas-related issues that cant wait.

Gas smell requires immediate response. We coordinate with the utility company and come out once they've made the area safe. Then we find and fix whatever's leaking so you can get your gas turned back on.

Gas appliance failures in winter mean no heat or hot water. We work on boilers, furnaces, and water heaters to get them running again.

Sometimes its the appliance, sometimes its gas supply issues, sometimes its both.

Pilot lights that keep going out can indicate problems with thermocouples, gas pressure, or venting. We diagnose what's causing the issue and fix it properly instead of just relighting pilots that will go out again.

Gas Appliance Installation

New gas appliances need proper installation to work safely and efficiently. Our gas appliance installation service handles ranges, cooktops, dryers, fireplaces, and outdoor equipment.

Installing gas appliances means running or extending gas lines, making connections with proper fittings, testing for leaks, and verifying proper operation. Different appliances need different gas pressures and BTU ratings. We make sure everything's matched correctly.

Gas dryers need both gas and electric connections plus proper venting to outside. The gas connection is usually straightforward, but the venting has to be done right or you're pumping moisture and lint into your house.

Gas fireplaces and inserts create ambiance and supplemental heat. We run gas lines to the fireplace location, install the unit, vent it properly, and test all safety features. Gas fireplaces are way easier than wood – just flip a switch and you've got fire.

Kitchen Gas Line Installation

Kitchens are where most people want gas because cooking on gas is better than electric. Our kitchen gas line installation service runs lines for ranges, cooktops, and other kitchen equipment.

Most Jefferson Valley kitchens were built with electric ranges. Converting to gas means running a new line from your gas meter through the basement or crawlspace up to the kitchen. We fish lines through walls to minimize damage and patch everything when we're done.

Professional ranges and cooktops need higher BTU capacity than standard residential models. We size gas lines accordingly so your equipment gets proper fuel supply. Restaurant-style ranges at home are popular now, but they need bigger gas lines than what most houses have.

Some people want gas for both cooktop and wall ovens, which means multiple gas drops in the kitchen. We run lines to each appliance location with individual shut-offs so you can service equipment without shutting off all kitchen gas.

Island cooktops need gas lines run under the floor or through the basement ceiling to reach the island. More complicated than wall-mounted ranges but definitely doable.

Gas Stove and Oven Installation

Gas stoves and ovens cook better and give you more control than electric. Our gas stove and oven installation service handles connecting new equipment and making sure everything works safely.

Installing gas ranges means connecting the gas supply line, checking for leaks, testing all burners and the oven, and making sure proper clearances are maintained from combustible materials. Ranges need flex connectors that let you pull them out for cleaning without disconnecting gas.

Wall ovens and cooktops install separately and each needs its own gas connection. We run lines to both locations, make the connections, and test everything. Built-in equipment usually requires more precise gas line placement than freestanding ranges.

After installation, we test every burner and oven to make sure flames are blue not yellow. Yellow flames mean improper combustion which wastes gas and produces carbon monoxide. We adjust air shutters if needed to get proper flame color.

Gas ranges need proper ventilation. Range hoods should vent to outside, not just recirculate air. Good ventilation removes cooking odors, moisture, and combustion byproducts.

Gas Boiler Installation

Gas boilers heat water that circulates through radiators or baseboard to warm your house. Our gas boiler installation service handles converting from oil or installing new gas boilers.

Installing gas boilers means sizing equipment for your house, running gas lines sized for the boiler's BTU input, connecting all heating zones, wiring controls, venting combustion gases properly, and getting everything inspected and approved.

Converting from oil to gas saves money over time. Oil prices fluctuate wildly. Natural gas is cheaper in most years and burns cleaner. We remove old oil equipment, install new gas boilers, coordinate with the gas company for service, and handle oil tank disposal.

High-efficiency condensing boilers need condensate drains because they extract so much heat that water vapor condenses. Those drains have to be installed right or they freeze in winter and shut the boiler down.

Venting is different for high-efficiency boilers. They use PVC pipe vented through sidewalls instead of chimneys. This allows installation in locations where chimney venting isn't possible.

Gas Furnace Installation

Gas furnaces heat air and blow it through ducts to warm your house. Our gas furnace installation service handles new installations and conversions from oil or electric heat.

Installing gas furnaces requires proper gas line sizing, electrical connections, ductwork hookups, thermostat wiring, and venting. We pull permits, do the installation, test everything, and get inspections completed.

High-efficiency furnaces extract more heat from gas combustion. They cost more upfront but save significantly on heating bills over their 15-20 year lifespan. The payback period is usually 5-7 years, then its all savings.

Furnaces need combustion air and proper venting. We install fresh air intakes and exhaust vents sized for the equipment. Everything has to meet code for safety and efficiency.

Gas furnaces around Mahopac run from October through April. They're reliable heat sources that respond quickly when thermostats call for heat. Way faster than electric heat pumps in cold weather.

Gas Water Heater Installation

Gas water heaters heat water faster and cost less to operate than electric. Our gas water heater installation service handles tank and tankless gas water heaters.

Tank gas water heaters heat 40-50 gallon tanks of water. They're affordable, reliable, and work fine for most families. Installation means running or connecting gas lines, installing proper venting, connecting water supply, and testing for leaks and proper operation.

Tankless gas water heaters heat water on demand without storing hot water. They never run out and save energy by not keeping tanks hot all day. But they cost more upfront and need bigger gas lines because they fire at high BTU when running.

Venting is different for tank and tankless models. Tank water heaters usually vent up chimneys. Tankless units often vent through sidewalls with PVC pipe. Location affects what venting options work.

Gas water heaters need proper clearances from combustible materials and adequate combustion air. Basements around Lake Mahopac are sometimes tight spaces where clearances become tricky. We make sure everything meets code.
