Gas Fitting & Gas Line Installation in Calgary and the Foothills

Licensed gas fitting in Okotoks, done safely and to code

Gas work is one of the few areas of home maintenance where there is no acceptable margin for error. A bad joint, an undersized line, or a missed leak check can quietly leak into a basement for weeks before something goes wrong. Right On! Plumbing & Heating carries Red Seal Gas Fitter B certification, which means every gas installation, modification, and repair we do in Okotoks is performed and signed off by a fully certified gas fitter, not a plumber who dabbles.

Gas work we handle for Okotoks homeowners

BBQ gas lines are the most common request, especially in spring. We run a dedicated line from the meter or from a tee inside the basement out to the deck, install a quarter-turn shut-off and a quick-connect, and pressure test the line before we leave. New gas range hookups, gas dryer connections, gas water heater and tankless conversions, gas fireplace and fire table installs, garage heater installs, and outdoor patio heater drops are all standard work for us. We also handle gas leak diagnosis and repair, including the calls people make to ATCO that turn into a "you need a gas fitter" referral.

Sizing matters more than people think

A gas line that runs all of your existing appliances fine today might starve the new tankless water heater you just installed, because the total load now exceeds the line capacity. We calculate total BTU demand against pipe size, run length, and number of fittings before adding any new appliance. If a meter or regulator upgrade is needed, we coordinate that with ATCO. Doing the math up front avoids the very common Okotoks scenario where a homeowner buys a new high-BTU appliance, plumbs it in, and then finds out the fireplace will not light when the furnace fires.

Permits, testing, and inspection

Every job that requires a permit gets one. Every line we install gets pressure tested and held under test for the required time. Every joint gets leak-checked with electronic detector and soap, not just one or the other. Inspections are scheduled when required, and the paperwork closes out cleanly, which matters when you sell the home and someone pulls the permit history.

Smell gas? Leave first, call from outside

If you smell gas in your Okotoks home, leave immediately, do not flip switches or start vehicles, and call us from outside. We respond to gas calls 24/7. Related: water heaters, tankless water heaters, and emergency plumber.
