From connecting your new gas stove to running a complete gas line for a home addition, our TSSA-certified G2/G3 technicians handle every gas line job safely and to Ontario gas code. If it burns natural gas or propane, we install it, repair it, and make sure it's safe.

Whether you're hooking up a single appliance or running gas to a new addition, we handle the full scope of residential and commercial gas work in the Nipissing District.
Gas work demands precision — there's zero room for error. Here's our step-by-step process for every gas line job, from a simple stove hookup to a full new line installation.
We inspect your existing gas system, verify meter capacity with Enbridge Gas specifications, and determine the best routing for new lines. You get a written quote with the full scope of work before we start — no surprises.
We pull all required TSSA permits and notify Enbridge when needed. Every gas installation in Ontario requires permits — working without them is illegal and voids your home insurance. We handle all the paperwork so you don't have to.
Our G2/G3 certified technicians run black iron or CSST gas pipe according to Ontario gas code. We install proper shutoff valves at every appliance, drip legs where required, and ensure correct pipe sizing for adequate gas flow.
Every gas line gets a mandatory pressure test before gas is turned on. We pressurize the system and check every joint, fitting, and connection with electronic leak detection equipment. If anything reads, we fix it and re-test — no exceptions.
We connect your appliance, verify proper gas flow and BTU ratings, check for combustion air adequacy, and confirm carbon monoxide levels are within safe limits. You get a TSSA compliance tag and documentation for your records.
Gas work in the Nipissing District comes with unique challenges that require local knowledge. Here's what sets our gas line service apart from generic plumbing companies.
Enbridge Gas Distribution serves North Bay with natural gas, but many rural properties in Callander, Corbeil, and Bonfield rely on propane instead. We're certified for both systems and know which fuel source each neighbourhood uses — saving you time on the initial assessment.
Downtown North Bay and West Ferris homes built in the 1950s-70s often have original galvanized or black iron gas piping that's corroded and undersized for modern appliances. We regularly replace aging gas lines in these areas before small leaks become dangerous.
At -30°C, your gas furnace and gas water heater aren't luxuries — they're keeping your family alive. A gas line failure in a North Bay winter is a life-safety emergency. We prioritize gas furnace and water heater hookups and repairs during heating season because the stakes are that high.
Gas fireplace inserts and outdoor natural gas BBQ lines are extremely popular across North Bay. No more hauling propane tanks through snow — a permanent gas line to your deck means year-round grilling. We install dedicated outdoor gas lines with quick-disconnect fittings built for Northern Ontario weather.
Gas work pricing depends on the scope — hooking up a stove to an existing gas line is very different from running 50 feet of new pipe. Here's what to expect.
A standard gas appliance hookup (stove, dryer, or BBQ) typically costs $300-$800 depending on the distance from your existing gas line and whether new piping is required. Gas line repairs range from $500-$2,000, and new gas line installations run $1,500-$5,000+ depending on line length and complexity. We quote upfront before starting any work.
Yes. Ontario law requires all gas work to be performed by a TSSA-certified technician with a valid G2 or G3 gas fitter licence. Our technicians hold current G2/G3 certifications and pull all required permits. Unlicensed gas work is illegal, voids your insurance, and puts your family at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or explosion.
Leave the house immediately — do not turn on or off any lights, appliances, or switches. Do not use your phone inside the house. Once safely outside, call 911, then call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427, then call us at 705-482-1253. We'll locate and repair the leak once the area is cleared safe.
Yes. Outdoor gas BBQ hookups are one of our most popular services. We run a dedicated gas line from your meter to your deck or patio with a quick-disconnect fitting. Typical cost is $400-$800 depending on the distance. No more propane tank refills — just turn on and grill, even in January.
Yes. While Enbridge Gas provides natural gas in North Bay proper, many homes in Callander, Corbeil, and surrounding rural areas use propane. Our G2/G3 technicians are certified for both natural gas and propane systems, including tank hookups, line installation, and appliance conversion between fuel types.
A straightforward hookup — connecting a stove, dryer, or fireplace to an existing gas line with a nearby shutoff — typically takes 1-2 hours. If we need to run new gas pipe, add a shutoff valve, or extend a line, the job may take 3-5 hours. We always pressure-test the line after installation to verify zero leaks.
