Proper sizing ensures adequate gas flow to all appliances. We calculate:
Each gas appliance requires specific gas volume measured in BTUs per hour:
When multiple appliances may run simultaneously, the gas system must supply total demand. Adding high-BTU appliances (especially tankless water heaters) may require larger supply lines.
Gas pressure decreases over distance. Longer runs require larger pipe diameters to deliver adequate pressure.
Your gas meter has rated capacity. Adding large appliances may require meter upgrade coordination with the utility.
Gas leaks are serious safety hazards requiring immediate attention.
Natural gas is odorized with mercaptan (rotten egg smell) specifically for leak detection. Any gas smell should be investigated.
Pressurized gas escaping makes audible sounds near leak locations.
Gas leaking underground can kill plants above.
Unexplained gas bill increases may indicate leaks.
We use professional detection equipment to locate leaks:
Once located, leaks require proper repair:
