Need a Gas Line Installed?
It's Gotta be Reliable.

The cost to install a gas line in Atlanta depends on:

• Line length. Your installation cost will increase with the length of pipe you need installed. A longer line requires more materials, plus more time and effort from the plumber.
• Pipe material. Pipes made of plastic or cheaper metal (aluminum) will cost less than ones made of sturdy metal (galvanized steel or iron). Your plumber will be able to tell you which material you should install, based on the gas line's location and use.
• Line location. If you need to install a gas line in a hard-to-reach place (in a small crawlspace or under a slab), it will cost more. Also, expect to pay for cosmetic or landscaping repairs after the gas line is installed.

If you're looking to install or replace a gas line, you've probably seen several different options for pipe material. These options include galvanized steel, black iron, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PEX (cross-linked polyethylene).

However, the City of Atlanta and most surrounding municipalities have strict regulations on which gas pipe materials can be used where. That means you don't get to choose what material to use-a professional plumber will need to decide.

But to give you a better idea of what to expect with your installation, we'll cover where the materials we recommend can be used.

• Galvanized steel or black iron can be used above or below the ground and are most commonly used to supply gas (from the street or a tank) to appliances or fireplaces.
• PVC and PEX can only be used underground and outside of the home. These materials are often used for a home's main gas supply line.
