About this service
Gas Line Installation for Beaverton homes
Most gas line work we do is not an emergency. It starts with a plan: a kitchen remodel with a gas range, a move from an electric dryer to gas, a tankless water heater, a fireplace insert for the living room or an outdoor kitchen on the deck. Each of those needs a gas line that can deliver enough fuel to run properly, alongside everything else already on the line.
That is the part people do not see. A gas line that is too small for the appliances on it leaves burners weak and water heaters struggling, and every new branch has to be tested before it is used. Our gas line installation service covers the whole run, from planning the route to the final leak test, and we explain what the job involves before any work begins.
If you are not sure whether your home already has gas, look for a gas meter on an outside wall and check whether you get a bill from NW Natural. Bringing gas service to a home that has none starts with the utility, which owns the meter and the line from the street. Once the meter is in, the lines inside your property are the part we install.

Warning signs
Signs You Need Gas Line Installation
When to call
Call while you are still planning, ideally before cabinets, flooring or a deck go in, so the line can take the simplest route. New gas piping usually needs a mechanical permit and inspection from your city or county building department, so ask us about that on the call. If you smell gas at any point, that is no longer an installation question: leave the house and call NW Natural or 911 from outside.
NW Natural supplies natural gas across the Beaverton area and owns the meter and the service line to it. Everything on your side of the meter, including any new branch to an appliance, belongs to the homeowner. If you are adding several large appliances, NW Natural may need to confirm the meter can handle the extra load.

Questions
Gas Line Installation FAQs
Can you add a gas line for a new range?
Yes. We run a new branch from your existing gas piping to the range location, add a shutoff valve and connector, and pressure test the line before the range is hooked up and lit.
Does a tankless water heater need a bigger gas line?
Often, yes. Tankless heaters burn a lot of gas while they run, so the line feeding them has to be sized for that, together with everything else in the house. We check the existing piping before you buy.
Can I run my grill or fire table off the house gas?
In most homes with natural gas, yes. A dedicated line with an outdoor shutoff replaces propane tanks for built-in grills, fire tables and patio heaters.
Do I need a permit for a new gas line?
New gas piping usually needs a permit and inspection from your local building department. Ask us on the call and we will talk through what applies to your job.
My home has no gas service. Can you install it?
Service to the house starts with NW Natural, which installs the meter and the line from the street. Once the meter is in, we install the lines from the meter to your appliances.
