Gas Line Installation & Repair in Jacksonville & Orange Park, FL

Gas piping is not a do-it-yourself job. A loose fitting or an undersized line can mean a gas leak, appliances that won’t run right, or a failed inspection. Lance Maxwell Plumbing installs, extends, repairs, and tests gas lines for homes and businesses across Jacksonville, Orange Park, and the rest of Clay, Duval, and St. Johns counties. We’ve been a locally owned plumbing company here since 1994, and we treat every gas job with the care it calls for.

Request gas line service and we’ll get you scheduled.

Smell gas right now? Leave the building immediately, don’t flip switches or use anything that could spark, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Once the area is safe, we can locate and repair the leak.

Gas Piping Services We Provide

New Gas Line Installation

We run new gas lines for appliances, additions, and remodels, including:

Gas ranges and cooktops
Gas dryers
Tank and tankless water heaters
Outdoor kitchens, grills, and fire features
Pool and spa heaters
Standby generators

Electric-to-Gas Conversions

Switching from an electric range or water heater to gas means running a new line, sizing it correctly, and connecting it safely. We plan the route, install the piping, and connect the appliance so it’s ready to use.

Gas Line Sizing & Upgrades

Adding a gas appliance doesn’t always mean your existing line can handle it. A tankless water heater, for example, needs far more gas volume than a standard tank. We calculate the total load on your system and upsize the piping when needed, so every appliance gets the supply it was designed for.

Gas Line Repair

Corroded piping, damaged lines, and leaking fittings need to be repaired right the first time. We isolate the problem, repair or replace the affected section, and test the system before putting it back in service.

Gas Leak Detection & Pressure Testing

If you’ve noticed a faint gas odor, a hissing sound near a line, or a gas bill that doesn’t make sense, we can pressure test your system and pinpoint the source. Pressure testing is also required after new gas piping is installed, before the system can be put into use.

Signs of a Gas Line Problem

A rotten-egg or sulfur smell near appliances or outdoors near the meter
A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line
Dead or discolored grass in a line along a buried gas line
Burner flames that are yellow or orange instead of steady blue
Pilot lights that keep going out
A gas bill that jumps without a change in usage

Any of these signs deserves a professional look. If the smell is strong, follow the safety steps above first.

Why Choose Gas?

Many homeowners switch to gas for cooking control, faster water heating, and appliances that keep working when the power goes out. Gas ranges give you instant, adjustable heat. Gas water heaters and tankless units recover faster than electric models. And with the right setup, a gas standby generator can keep your home running through a storm outage. We’ll help you decide which gas appliances make sense for your home.

Gas Piping FAQs

Can a plumber install a gas line?

Yes. Gas piping is part of the plumbing trade, and our plumbers install, repair, and test gas lines for residential and commercial properties.

How much does it cost to run a gas line?

It depends on the distance from the meter or existing line, the pipe size the appliance needs, whether walls or slab have to be accessed, and permit requirements. We’ll give you a clear price after looking at your setup.

Do I need a permit for gas line work?

New gas piping and most gas line modifications require a permit and inspection in Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties. We’ll let you know what’s required and make sure the work passes inspection.

Can my existing gas line handle a tankless water heater?

Often not. Tankless units need a much higher gas flow than a standard tank, and many existing lines are too small. We check the line size and total gas load before installing and upgrade the piping if needed.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the building right away without using light switches, phones, or anything that could create a spark. Call 911 or your gas utility once you’re outside. After the area is declared safe, call us to locate and repair the leak.
