Gas line installation, repair and appliance hookups in Dayton & Cincinnati.
New runs for ranges, dryers, grills, garage heaters and standby generators, plus repairs on lines already in the ground. Every job is done under Ohio plumbing license #13557, permitted where your jurisdiction requires it, and pressure-tested at the end.
If you smell gas right now, stop reading. Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside.
When to call a licensed pro.
Install, repair, and connect.
Who is licensed to run a gas line in Ohio?
Gas piping is licensed work. Plumbing and HVAC contractors in Ohio are licensed at the state level through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, and many municipalities require a local contractor registration on top of that. We hold Ohio plumbing license #13557 and Ohio HVAC license #37179.
Both numbers are checkable, and you should check them, on anyone who quotes you gas work.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, with everyone in it. Do not flip a light switch, unplug anything, use a phone indoors, or light a match. From outside and well away, call your gas utility's emergency line. Once the utility has made the property safe, call a licensed plumber to locate and repair the leak.
The gas utility makes a property safe and a licensed plumber repairs the line, which is why a suspected gas leak means two calls in a fixed order.
Gas situations and the correct order of calls.
| What's happening | Call first | Then call |
|---|---|---|
| Strong gas smell indoors | Leave the house, then the gas utility from outside | Us, once the property is cleared |
| Faint smell near one appliance | The gas utility, from outside | Us, for appliance connection and testing |
| Hissing from a buried line outdoors | The gas utility, from a distance | Us, for the repair |
| Dead grass in a line over a buried gas line | The gas utility | Us, for locating and repair |
| Pilot lights repeatedly going out | Us | The utility, only if you can smell gas |
| Adding a line for a new appliance | Us | No utility call needed |
Which utility supplies natural gas here?
In the Dayton metro, natural gas comes from CenterPoint Energy Ohio, which was Vectren until it was renamed in May 2021, while electricity comes separately from AES Ohio. In the Cincinnati metro, Duke Energy Ohio supplies both gas and electricity. The two metros are structured differently, which matters when you are outside the house looking up an emergency number.
Worth putting the right one in your phone now, while nothing is wrong.
Do I need a permit for gas line work?
Most new gas piping does, along with an inspection, and who issues it depends on where you live. Greene County permits Beavercreek but not Fairborn or Xenia, and the City of Dayton runs its own plumbing inspection separate from the county program. We pull the permit and close out the inspection as part of the job.
A visit without surprises.
What can a gas line be run for?
Ranges and cooktops, clothes dryers, outdoor grills and fire pits, pool and spa heaters, garage and shop heaters, standby generators, and fireplace logs. Each has a different BTU demand, which is why a line sized for a dryer will not necessarily carry a generator on the same run, and why a larger gas line for a tankless unit is part of that conversation.
How is a gas leak found?
Electronic gas detection equipment and a pressure test on an isolated section. The pressure test is the part that matters: a section of pipe is isolated, brought up to pressure, and watched, so a pass is measured rather than sniffed. Every gas job we do ends with one, documented for your records. Call (844) 584-7399, or 24/7 emergency plumbing if something is happening now.
