Gas Fitting Services Burnaby Homeowners Need
Burnaby has one of the highest natural gas penetration rates in Metro Vancouver. Most single-family homes, many townhomes, and even some condos are connected to FortisBC's gas network. Gas powers furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, stoves, dryers, and outdoor BBQs - each connection requiring proper sizing, materials, and permits.
The most common gas fitting requests in Burnaby involve new appliance hookups during kitchen or laundry renovations, gas line extensions for outdoor living spaces, and replacement of corroded or undersized gas piping in older homes. Burnaby's 1960s-1980s housing stock often has original black iron gas piping that may be undersized for modern high-BTU appliances like tankless water heaters.
All gas work in BC requires a TSBC (Technical Safety BC) licensed gas fitter and must be inspected. Unlicensed gas work is illegal, voids insurance, and creates serious safety risks. Our gas fitters hold Class B licences and pull permits for every job - protecting your home and your family.
Gas Fitting for Burnaby Properties
Older Homes (1960s-1980s)
Original gas piping may be undersized for modern appliances. Adding a tankless water heater or commercial-grade range often requires a gas line upgrade to maintain adequate pressure throughout the home.
Renovations & Kitchen Upgrades
Switching from electric to gas range or adding a gas dryer requires a new gas line run from the meter. We coordinate with contractors to route lines before drywall goes up, saving time and cost.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Gas lines for built-in BBQs, patio heaters, and fire pits are increasingly popular in Burnaby. We install permanent gas connections that eliminate the hassle and cost of propane tank refills.
Secondary Suite Gas Separation
Some Burnaby suites need independent gas metering or dedicated gas lines for suite appliances. We handle the gas piping and coordinate with FortisBC for meter installations.

If FortisBC gas service is available on your Burnaby street (which it is in most areas), we can connect your home to the gas network. This involves coordinating with FortisBC for the meter installation and running gas piping to your appliances. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Signs of undersized gas piping include: pilot lights that go out when other gas appliances turn on, furnace or water heater not reaching full output, weak flames on gas stove, or yellow/orange flames instead of blue.
