Gas line work is not a DIY project
Natural gas and propane supply lines carry fuel under pressure throughout your home. A connection that is not seated correctly, a joint that is under-tightened, or a line run without proper support can develop a leak that accumulates in enclosed spaces. Natural gas is odorless — the odorant added for detection is effective, but a slow leak in an unoccupied space may not trigger an obvious smell until concentrations have built.
Improperly installed or modified gas lines also fail inspection, can void homeowner's insurance coverage, and create liability exposure if a leak causes damage or injury. In Texas, gas line work on residential supply lines must be performed by a licensed plumber.
Houston homeowners frequently need new gas lines for outdoor kitchens, permanent generators, patio grills, and gas log fireplaces — as well as replacements when aging corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) or black iron pipe systems need updating.
Licensed installation with pressure testing
Weatherford Air & Heating performs all residential gas line work under the appropriate license. We assess your existing gas supply, size the new line correctly for the appliance load, route the line safely, and pressure-test before connecting any appliance.
Pressure testing is non-negotiable. Every new gas line installation and every repair is tested at working pressure to confirm there are no leaks at any fitting, connection, or joint before the line goes into service.
Safety First, Every Time
Pressure-Tested Before We Leave
Every gas line installation is pressure-tested to verify there are no leaks before the line is put into service. We document the test results and obtain all required permits — protecting your home and your insurance coverage.
Why Choose Weatherford

An undersized gas line causes pressure drop that degrades appliance performance. We calculate the correct pipe size for your total appliance load.
Pressure Testing
Every gas line installation is pressure-tested at or above working pressure before connection to confirm there are no leaks at any fitting.

New appliance connections, outdoor kitchen and grill lines, generator feeds, gas log fireplaces, and whole-home CSST replacement — we handle all common residential gas line work.

What to Expect
Assessment and Design
We review the installation location, identify the feed point, calculate load requirements, and plan the line routing and pipe sizing.

Tied to Your HVAC
Gas Lines for Furnaces, Water Heaters, and More
New gas lines are most often needed for furnace replacements, tankless water heater installations, or whole-home generators. We coordinate installation with your appliance project so everything is connected and commissioned together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a new gas line?
Yes, in most Houston-area municipalities. Residential gas line installation requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit as part of the job — do not hire anyone who skips this step.
What if I smell gas?
Do not operate any switches, appliances, or open flames. Leave the building, leave the door open, and shut off the gas at the meter if you can do so safely from outside. Call 911 and then call us. Do not re-enter until the line has been inspected and cleared.
Can you extend an existing gas line to reach a new appliance?
Yes. We can extend your existing supply line to reach a new appliance, outdoor grill, or generator — as long as the existing supply line has sufficient capacity for the additional load. We assess capacity before adding any load.
What is CSST and does it need to be replaced?
Corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) is a flexible gas line material used widely in Houston-area homes since the 1990s. While code-compliant when installed correctly and properly bonded, some older CSST installations are not bonded per current requirements. We assess CSST systems and advise on whether bonding or replacement is appropriate.
