Most people who call us don’t need a complete gas line installation. They have a specific job in mind and want a licensed professional who knows how to do it properly and follow the rules. Here are some of the jobs our licensed gas fitters regularly handle in Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, and across the Lower Mainland.
Kitchen and Cooking Appliances
Replacing a gas cooktop or wall oven, connecting a new gas range, or disconnecting an old oven before the cabinets go in, these are common jobs for our licensed gas fitters. If you’re renovating your kitchen, we can coordinate with your contractor to disconnect the gas before work begins.
Outdoor Gas Lines
We get plenty of calls for BBQ hookups in spring and summer. We install dedicated natural gas lines for outdoor cooking areas, connect gas fire tables to existing hookups, and run lines for fire pits and outdoor fireplaces. For pizza ovens or larger outdoor setups that need more gas than a standard hookup can supply, we install larger-diameter lines.
Gas Fireplaces
We install gas fireplaces and remove old ones during renovations. If you need the gas disconnected before drywall or flooring work starts, we can handle that too. We also service fireplaces with pilot lights that won’t stay lit. If FortisBC has flagged an issue with your fireplace connection, we can check it and carry out the necessary repairs.
Gas Leaks and Emergency Work
If you smell gas, leave your home first, then call FortisBC’s 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911. Once you’re safe, call us at 604-205-9436. We investigate gas odours, pressure-test lines flagged by FortisBC, repair leaks in customer-owned piping and appliance connections, and fix problems found during utility work.
