Gas Fitting

Gas Fitting Services

Let's face it, almost every home uses gas in some way. Not only does it allow you to cook your food, but it lets you heat your home in winter. Not to mention that using gas can you save you some money on your electricity bill.

It's simple, having a gas line connected to your home is essential for your family's comfort. The problem is that gas is highly flammable and can be extremely dangerous if it leaks inside or around your house.

How it Works

When we install gas in your home, we have two options, depending on whether you have a gas main on your street or not.

With the first option, it's necessary that your home be connected to the gas main in your street. Here, a specialized team installs a gas inlet service line from the gas main in your street onto your property. This will typically be a team from a gas supply company.

We then connect the gas outlet service to your home so that you have gas available in your home that you can use for your appliances or for hot water. Between the gas main in the street and your home, a gas meter will be installed.

This gas meter serves two purposes. The first is that it safely regulates the gas flow between the gas main in the street and your home. It also allows accurate measurements of the volume of gas you use in your home. To get these measurements, the gas meter will be read at frequent intervals, and you'll be billed based on your gas usage for the specific period.

When an installer does a gas installation, the location of this gas meter is determined by a variety of factors one being that it should be easily accessible by the gas meter readers. So, when they plan your gas installation, they give due regard to where your gas meter should be.

If you don't have a gas main in your street, the other option is to do an LPG gas installation. This gas is also used for heating and cooking and comes in bottles that you’ll refill once they’re empty.

Typically, these bottles will be installed outside your home with the gas pipes leading into your home where you can use it for your appliances, hot water, or heating.

How Do You Know if a Gas Fitter Is Licensed?

Although gas fitting license regulations differ from state to state, the simplest way to know if a gas fitter is licensed, is to ask them for their license card. If they have this card, it shows that they’ve undergone the right training and have the necessary skills to do your gas installation.

If you're still unsure whether a specific gas fitter is qualified, there are a few sources available online that you can use to check if the gas fitter is licensed. Most also have websites that you can visit and read up on their qualifications.

Apart from being licensed, it could also be helpful to read some online reviews to see the quality of service they offer. The key is that you should do the necessary research to find the right gas fitter for the job.

Fortunately, at Lucid Plumbing we’re professional and suitably qualified to attend to all your gas installation needs.
