Vancouver Gas Fitting: Licensed Service for a Gas-Connected City
From new gas line installations to appliance hookups and leak repairs, our TSBC-licensed gas fitters handle every project in Vancouver with a safety-first approach and full code compliance.
Gas Fitting Needs in Vancouver
Vancouver has one of the most extensive natural gas networks in Western Canada. The majority of single-family homes have gas service for furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, stoves, and dryers. As homeowners renovate and upgrade, gas fitting work is constantly in demand - whether it's running a new line to an outdoor BBQ, connecting a gas fireplace insert, or upgrading the meter to support additional appliances.
The city's restaurant and commercial density also drives significant gas fitting demand. Commercial kitchens, rooftop HVAC units, and building mechanical rooms all require professional gas piping installed to code. Vancouver's seismic zone classification adds additional requirements for flexible gas connectors and shut-off valves that not all gas fitters are experienced with.
Safety is non-negotiable with gas work. All gas fitting in BC must be performed by a TSBC-licensed gas fitter and inspected by Technical Safety BC. Unlicensed work voids insurance, violates building code, and puts your family at risk. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections as part of every project.

Vancouver Gas Fitting Pricing
Gas fitting costs in Vancouver vary by project scope. Simple appliance hookups (stove, dryer, BBQ) range from $150 to $350. New gas line runs cost $500 to $2,000+ depending on distance and routing complexity - running a gas line through a finished Vancouver basement costs more than through an unfinished crawlspace. Gas meter upgrades (needed when adding multiple gas appliances) involve coordination with FortisBC and typically cost $500 to $1,500 for the gas fitting work, plus FortisBC's meter fees. All projects include pressure testing and permit costs.

Yes. Almost all gas work in Vancouver requires a permit from Technical Safety BC. This includes new gas line installations, appliance relocations, and meter upgrades. Simple appliance swaps (replacing a gas stove with another gas stove at the same location) may be exempt, but we recommend permitting for all work. We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling on your behalf.
Absolutely. This is one of our most popular requests. We run a dedicated gas line from your meter to the BBQ location with a proper shut-off valve. No more propane tank refills. The installation typically takes half a day and costs $400-$800 depending on the distance and routing.
Your meter has a maximum capacity rating. If you're adding gas appliances (furnace + water heater + stove + dryer + fireplace), the total demand may exceed your meter's capacity. We calculate the total BTU load and coordinate with FortisBC if an upgrade is needed. This is especially common in Vancouver home renovations that add gas cooking or fireplaces.
Leave the building immediately - don't operate light switches, phones, or anything that creates a spark. Once outside, call FortisBC's 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or 911. After the area is declared safe, call us to inspect and repair any gas leaks. We offer emergency gas fitting service across Vancouver.
