What is not part of gas appliance hookup (range, dryer & grill)
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- If the hookup grows to $1,000 or more in labor and materials, such as a long new gas run, a licensed contractor takes it over.
- Running a long new gas line through walls, under floors or across a yard. Gas line installation is its own licensed service.

- Sizing or replacing the meter and the main gas service. The gas utility handles that side.

Before you book gas appliance hookup (range, dryer & grill)
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Tell the pro the fuel and the model
Note whether the home runs on natural gas or propane, and share the appliance model number. Some units ship set for one fuel and need a conversion kit.
Photograph the gas stub and the space
Take pictures of the shutoff, the pipe coming from the wall or floor, and the space behind or beside where the appliance goes. It shows the pro what connectors and valves to bring.
Check the existing shutoff
Look for a shutoff valve within reach of the appliance. Missing or stuck valves are replaced as part of the hookup, so note any that look corroded or hard to turn.
Leave room for the appliance
Measure the gap and check that the appliance clearances are met. A range pushed too far back can crush a connector, and a dryer needs space for the vent.
Test your alarms
Check that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the home are working before any gas appliance is turned on, and replace batteries if needed.
Ask what is included
Confirm whether the visit includes the connector, valve, permit and anti-tip bracket, or whether you supply some parts. Ask what the pro does if the stub needs to be moved.
