When it comes to gas line work, there's absolutely no room for error. At Lions Heating & Air Conditioning, we've been providing safe, code-compliant gas line services throughout Warminster and Bucks County for over 15 years. Our licensed technicians understand that working with natural gas and propane requires the highest level of expertise, precision, and safety consciousness. Whether you're installing a new gas appliance, converting from oil to gas, extending lines for a renovation, or addressing a potential gas leak, we provide the professional gas line services that keep your family safe while powering the appliances that make your house a home.
Natural gas and propane are incredibly efficient, cost-effective fuels that power millions of homes across Pennsylvania. However, these same properties that make gas such an excellent fuel source also make it potentially dangerous when handled improperly. Gas leaks can lead to explosions, fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning - this is why gas line work isn't a job for handymen or DIY attempts. It requires licensed professionals with specialized training, proper equipment, and comprehensive insurance coverage.
How Gas Distribution Works
Your home's gas system begins at the meter, where the utility company's responsibility ends and yours begins. From there, gas flows through a network of pipes at specific pressures:
We provide expert services for all types of gas systems used in residential and commercial properties:
Supplied by utility companies through underground mains
Stored in tanks and requiring different pressures and fittings
Switching between gas types when fuel sources change
Request Gas Line ServiceInstalling new gas lines requires careful planning, precise execution, and strict adherence to codes. Our planning and design phase includes calculating BTU requirements, sizing pipes properly, planning efficient routing, coordinating with other trades, and obtaining necessary permits.
We connect all types of gas appliances including furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, generators, pool heaters, and outdoor grills. Each connection includes proper shut-off valves, appropriate flexible connectors, and thorough leak testing.
We extend existing gas systems for kitchen renovations, bathroom additions, basement finishing, outdoor kitchens, generator installations, pool heaters, and workshop heating. We verify system capacity, calculate pressure drops, and coordinate with utilities when needed.
Major HVAC investments often come at unexpected times - usually when existing equipment fails. Understanding financing options before you need them helps make better decisions when time is limited. We offer financing programs that can make high-efficiency equipment more accessible.
Pennsylvania homeowners have access to various rebate and incentive programs that can significantly reduce the cost of HVAC improvements. However, these programs have specific requirements and deadlines that require careful attention. We work regularly with these programs understand application requirements and can help ensure you receive all available incentives.

Signs of a gas leak include the distinctive "rotten egg" odor (from the mercaptan additive), hissing sounds near gas lines or appliances, dead vegetation near outdoor gas lines, unusual pet behavior, or physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you suspect a leak, evacuate immediately and call from a safe location.
No. Gas line installation requires professional licensing, specialized tools, and extensive knowledge of safety codes. DIY gas work is illegal in most jurisdictions, voids insurance coverage, and creates serious safety hazards. Always hire a licensed professional for any gas line work.
Common gas line materials include black iron pipe (traditional, durable), corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST - flexible, faster installation), copper (in some jurisdictions for specific applications), and polyethylene (for underground outdoor lines). Material selection depends on local codes, application, and specific installation requirements.
Simple appliance connections typically take 2-4 hours. More extensive installations may require 1-3 days depending on complexity, accessibility, and inspection schedules. We provide timeline estimates before beginning work and keep you informed throughout the process.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency gas line repair services. If you suspect a gas leak or have a gas emergency, evacuate immediately, call from a safe location, and we'll respond promptly with properly equipped technicians to address the situation safely.
Most gas line installations and modifications require permits from local building departments. We handle all permitting processes, including application, documentation, and scheduling required inspections to ensure your installation is fully compliant with local codes.
Yes, we specialize in oil-to-gas conversions. The process includes coordinating with the utility company for service installation, running gas lines to replace oil equipment, installing new gas heating equipment, safely removing oil tanks, and converting or replacing water heaters. We manage the entire process from permitting through final inspections.
We recommend annual gas line inspections as part of regular home maintenance. Older systems or those with previous issues may benefit from more frequent checks. Our maintenance plans include regular inspections to identify potential problems before they become safety hazards.
Natural gas is delivered through utility company pipelines, while propane is stored in tanks on your property. The systems require different pressure ratings, regulators, and sometimes different materials. Appliances often need specific orifices for each gas type. We're experienced with both systems and can handle installations, conversions, and repairs for either fuel source.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on all gas line installations and repairs. Typical coverage includes 1-5 years on workmanship and materials, with specific terms provided in writing before work begins. Our maintenance plans can extend protection and ensure ongoing system safety.
