Why You Should Hire a Professional Gas Fitter

You might be tempted to perform gas pipe repair, gas line installation, or an appliance hook up yourself to save time and money. However, working with gas should be left to the pros, and here’s why.

Safety: Working with gas is like working with electricity; it’s dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Professional gas fitters have the training and experience to ensure your gas appliance or gas line installation is done correctly and safely.
Code Compliance: Many cities have strict regulations and codes governing the installation of gas lines and appliances. Pros know these requirements and ensure your installation complies.
Insurance: Professional gas fitters carry insurance to protect you and your property if something gets damaged during the installation. Additionally, many gas appliance manufacturers recommend professional installation to keep the warranty valid.

Signs You Need Gas Line Repair

Unlike water pipes, it’s sometimes difficult to know if your gas lines must be repaired or replaced. However, here are a few signs from the Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing team to tip you off.

Frequent Leaks

If you notice a recurring gas odor in or around your home, even after addressing minor repairs, it may be a sign that your gas lines are deteriorating and need to be replaced.

Old or Corroded Pipes:

Like any other plumbing infrastructure, gas lines have a finite lifespan. If your home's gas lines are several decades old, they could be in bad shape, causing them to leak.

Reduced Gas Pressure:

If you've noticed a significant drop in gas pressure throughout your home, it could be due to a gas line problem. Reduced gas pressure can affect the performance of your appliances, such as stoves, water heaters, and furnaces. If the issue persists despite cleaning or adjusting your appliances, it's time to consider the possibility of a gas line replacement.

Unexplained Gas Bill Increase:

A sudden and unexplained increase in gas bills can signal that you're losing gas through a leak. Even small leaks can result in significantly higher hills, so it's wise to get your gas line system inspected by a pro.
