Quick answer
Residential gas fitting in Vernon by a licensed gas contractor: new lines, range and dryer connections, BBQ and fire-table lines, and leak repairs. We pull the Technical Safety BC permit and pressure-test every new line before connecting it. Call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548.
In Vernon, the City issues plumbing permits but not gas permits. Gas work here is permitted through Technical Safety BC, and we take out that permit ourselves under our gas contractor licence (LGA0212697).
Older homes are common in Vernon (2021 census), and a house that age was usually piped for a furnace and a water heater only. Before we add a range, dryer or outdoor line, we total up everything that could fire at once and upsize the supply if the existing pipe can't carry it. The new line is pressure-tested before any appliance goes on.

Sizing for the coldest nights
With Vernon heating designed for −20°C, the furnace, water heater and stove can all be running together. New lines are sized for that combined load.
Ranges, cooktops and dryers
Electric-to-gas switches and appliance swaps: a new line where needed, a shut-off at the appliance and a leak test at every joint.
BBQs and fire tables
A fixed natural gas line out to the patio, with its own shut-off where you can reach it.
Leak tracing and repair
A gas smell or a failed pressure test tracked to the fitting or section at fault, repaired and re-tested.

Questions, answered
Who issues gas permits in Vernon?
Technical Safety BC. The City of Vernon issues plumbing permits, not gas permits. We hold licence LGA0212697, pull the permit for your job and list its number on the invoice.
Can my existing gas line handle a new range?
Sometimes. We add up the furnace, water heater and anything else on the line, and if the pipe is too small for the new total we tell you which section needs upsizing before work starts.
Can my BBQ run on natural gas?
Only a natural gas model, or one converted with the manufacturer's natural gas kit. We then run a fixed line with a shut-off beside the BBQ.
