How Much Does Gas Line Piping Cost?
Gas Line Prices
Are you installing a new appliance that needs a gas hookup in the kitchen or bathroom?
There are many variables that go into determining the cost of gas line installation. Even hooking up a new appliance can be very complicated. For example, each gas line can only handle a certain amount of BTUs relative to its length. Sometimes it is possible to install a T-valve to split off from an existing line; but if the demand from the new appliance exceeds the BTU limit for a given line, it will be necessary to run a new line from the manifold. So even if you’re only installing a new gas barbecue, it may be necessary to run the gas line pipe from the main gas manifold to the new appliance at considerable cost. Also, depending on your home’s configuration, you may have to dig extensive trenches to bury the line, drill through joists, etc. Generally, installing new gas line is done by a local gas company or a licensed plumber.
Gas Line Costs
As a very general estimate, it usually costs $20 to $30 per foot to install gas line. In some areas and circumstances the price could be as high as $75 per foot or more. This should include the costs of trench digging and all necessary permits, drawings, and inspections.
If your home has recently been converted to gas, the local utility company will often make a deal where they supply the meter and cover the costs for an initial length (say 75 to 100 feet). The total cost will depend on the location of neighborhood gas mains and meters. Check with your municipality for more details.
