Typical time: A few hours to a day plus inspection.
Repair or replace: Repair leaking sections; install new lines for new appliances.

Adding a gas range or a tankless water heater often means upsizing the gas line to supply enough fuel. At altitude, correct sizing matters even more.

Flexible appliance connectors and old fittings are common leak points. Gas work should always be pressure-tested.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the house, don't operate switches or flames, and call Xcel Energy or 911 from outside. A plumber repairs the leak once the utility has made it safe.

Can a plumber run a gas line for a grill?

Yes. Outdoor gas lines are common and need a permit and inspection like indoor work.
