Gas Line Installation & Repair in Plymouth & the West Metro
Brass Tacks Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs, extends and repairs natural gas lines for stoves, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, grills and water heaters in Plymouth, MN and throughout the Twin Cities West Metro. We give you an upfront price before any work begins.
If you smell gas, leave the house now. Don’t use light switches or anything that could spark. Once you’re outside, call 911 and CenterPoint Energy’s leak line at 800-296-9815. Once the utility has made it safe, call us at (612) 888-1234 for the repair.
Gas Line Work for Your Home
Adding a gas stove, moving a dryer, putting in a fireplace or fixing a leak all require gas piping done right, with the right fittings, a pressure test and a permit.
Know the Price Before We Start
Gas work varies from a quick appliance hookup to a new line run across the house, so we look at the job first. Then you get an upfront price before anything begins.
We pull the permit when your city requires one, and we pressure-test every connection before the gas goes back on.
Members save 10%. Built to Last members get 10% off repairs and no diagnostic fee. See the membership.
We'll look at the route or the leak and give you the price before we start.
When to Call a Licensed Plumber for Gas
Adding a Gas Stove or Range
Switching from electric to gas, or moving your range, usually means a new gas line and shutoff valve.
Installing a Gas Dryer
A gas dryer needs a properly sized line, a shutoff valve and a code-approved flex connector.
Gas Fireplace or Grill
We run lines and connections for gas fireplaces, outdoor grills and other appliances.
Leak Found by the Utility
If CenterPoint has marked a leak or shut off your gas, we repair the piping so service can be restored.
Old or Damaged Gas Piping
Kinked copper, corroded fittings or old connectors should be replaced before they leak.
Appliance Replacement
A new water heater, furnace or range often needs updated gas piping or a new connector.
Remodels and Additions
Kitchen and basement remodels often need gas lines added, moved or capped.
Code Corrections
Missing shutoff valves, sediment traps or unsupported piping can be flagged during a sale or inspection.
Gas work isn't a DIY project. Gas piping must be sized and installed to code, pressure-tested and, in most cities, permitted and inspected. We handle the permit for the work we do.

Install or Repair

Gas Line FAQs
Answers to common questions about gas line installation, gas leaks, appliance hookups and cost.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house right away on foot. Don't turn lights or appliances on or off, use a lighter or start a car in the garage. Once you're a safe distance away, call 911 and CenterPoint Energy's leak line at 800-296-9815. Don't try to find or fix the leak yourself. After the utility makes it safe, we can repair the piping.
Is it safe to install my own gas line?
We don't recommend it. Gas piping has to be sized correctly, installed with approved materials, pressure-tested and, in most cities, permitted and inspected. A mistake can cause a leak, a fire or carbon monoxide problems.
Do I need a permit for gas line work?
Most cities require a permit for new gas piping and many gas repairs. Brass Tacks pulls the permit for the work we do, so you don't have to.
Is that a natural gas smell or sewer gas?
Natural gas has an added odor like rotten eggs, and a strong smell near appliances or the meter should be treated as a gas leak. A sewage smell near drains is more likely sewer gas. See how to stop a sewer gas smell. If you're not sure, leave and call the utility.
How much does it cost to run a gas line for a stove?
It depends on the distance from your gas supply, the route and how many walls or floors the line has to pass through. We'll look at your route and give you an upfront price before we start.
How much does gas leak repair cost?
It depends on where the leak is, how many fittings or sections need replacing and whether a regulator or shutoff valve needs to be added. We give you an upfront price after we find the leak.
How much does it cost to hook up a gas stove or dryer?
It depends on whether the existing gas line and shutoff valve can be used or need to be updated. We'll tell you what's needed and give you the price before we start.
Can you add a gas line for a dryer, fireplace or grill?
Yes. We add gas lines and connections for dryers, fireplaces, outdoor grills, garage heaters and other gas appliances, including regulators and quick-connect fittings where they're needed.
Can you switch my electric stove to gas?
If your home has natural gas service, we can usually run a new line to the kitchen and install a shutoff valve for a gas range. You may also need an electrician for the range outlet.
CenterPoint shut off my gas after a leak. What happens next?
We repair the leaking piping and test our work. CenterPoint then returns to unlock the meter and restore service, and we can relight your appliances if needed.
Do you install gas piping for water heaters and furnaces?
Yes. When we replace a gas water heater or furnace, we update the gas piping, shutoff valve and sediment trap as needed.
Do you do gas line work in my area?
Yes. Brass Tacks installs and repairs gas lines in Plymouth, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Medina, Orono and the surrounding Twin Cities West Metro. Learn more about our Plymouth plumbing services.
