Signs Your Minneapolis, MN Home Needs a New Gas Line Installed
Whether you’re adding a new appliance or renovating your home, installing a new gas line should always be handled by a licensed professional. Some signs it’s time to have a new gas line installed include:
Adding a Gas Appliance
A new range, dryer, or fireplace often requires a dedicated gas line to be run safely to the appliance.
Home Renovation or Addition
Expanding or remodeling your home may call for new gas lines to serve updated spaces.
Outdated or Corroded Piping
Older gas lines made from deteriorating materials should be replaced before they become a safety hazard.
Frequent Gas Line Repairs
If your existing line needs constant repair, a full replacement is often the safer, more cost-effective option.
Insufficient Gas Pressure
Low gas pressure to your appliances can mean your current line is undersized for your home’s needs.

FAQ
Common Questions About Gas Line Installation
What appliances typically need a dedicated gas line?
How deep does a gas line need to be buried?
Local code sets a minimum burial depth for gas lines, and it depends on where the line runs — under a driveway versus open yard, for example. We install to code for your specific site.
What permits are needed for a new gas line?
Gas line work requires a permit and inspection in Minneapolis and most surrounding cities — we handle the permitting and scheduling for you as part of the job.
Can I install a gas line myself?
No, installing a gas line is not a do-it-yourself project. If you don’t have a professional technician, like one of those from Hero Home Services, install your gas line, you are likely to encounter problems that place yourself and those in your home in danger.
Is electric cheaper than gas?
When it comes to deciding how to power your home and its appliances, your monthly energy bill budget is likely a big consideration. As such, it’s important to know that historically natural gas has been a cheaper option than electricity to heat a home and power its appliances.
How deep should gas lines be buried?
Generally speaking, gas lines are installed 18-24 inches below the ground. However, different climates and home systems may require a line to be installed at a different depth.
How do I locate buried piping?
It can be very dangerous when trying to excavate near a buried gas pipe. To locate your buried piping, call your local energy provider or give us a call at Hero Home Services.
How long will it take to get natural gas service installed?
It will depend on a lot of things to decipher how long it will take to get natural gas service installed for your home. A professional at Hero Home Services will help establish a timeline and plan that will identify when construction will start, and provide you regular updates throughout the process until gas service is available.
When do you need a gas line installation?
You will most likely need a gas line installation in the following circumstances: the gas pipes are old and/or worn out, a severe weather event or natural disaster damages the lines, you’ve experienced recurring gas leaks, you are in the process of constructing a new home or addition to an existing building, and/or you are upgrading your appliance. Gas line replacement and installation always needs to be done by a professional, so call a qualified technician at Hero Home Services when you’re thinking of replacing and installing new gas lines in your home.
