Quick answer
For gas fitting in Kelowna, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. We find and fix gas leaks, hook up natural gas and propane ranges, dryers, fireplaces, BBQs and water heaters, and pressure-test every line we work on, under a gas permit.
Gas fitting covers everything from the meter outlet to the appliance: the piping, shut-off valves, connectors and venting. Customers' Google reviews describe a range gas supply pipe, a BBQ and outdoor fire pit connection, and four gas leaks fixed in one house.
How a gas job runs: we look at what the appliance needs and what the existing piping and meter can supply, explain your options, give you a fair, upfront price, pull the gas permit, do the work, and pressure-test the line before the gas goes back on. Each appliance gets its own shut-off valve, and we check that it lights and runs properly before we leave. If the meter needs upgrading, we arrange that with FortisBC, which owns the meter.
Inside Kelowna, the City of Kelowna issues most natural gas permits. Propane work, and all gas work in West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, Peachland and Oyama, is permitted through Technical Safety BC. Technical Safety BC issues homeowner gas permits to some owners doing their own work, but not to strata owners, non-strata duplex owners or anyone running a business from the home.
What affects the price: the distance from the meter or the nearest gas line, the route the pipe has to take, whether the existing line has room for another appliance, and whether the appliance needs the manufacturer's natural gas or propane conversion kit first.

Source: technicalsafetybc.caWhen to call a gas contractor
- Adding, moving or removing a gas appliance
- A burner flame that is yellow, lifting or noisy
- An appliance that won't stay lit
- Buying a home and wanting the gas piping and appliances checked
- A renovation that will move or expose gas lines
- The smell of gas (leave and call FortisBC first)
Before your gas appliance hookup
A few things that make the install faster and avoid a second trip.
Check the gas type
The rating plate on the appliance says natural gas or propane. Many ranges, fireplaces and BBQs ship for one and need the manufacturer's kit for the other.
Keep the manual handy
It lists the clearances, venting and connection size the installer has to follow.
Know where it is going
Tell us the distance from the gas meter or the nearest gas line, and which floor and wall the appliance sits on, so we bring the right fittings.
Mention future appliances
Planning a BBQ, fire table or garage heater later? The line is sized for everything it will feed, so it is cheaper to plan for it now.
Permit and test
We pull the gas permit, pressure-test the line and leave a shut-off valve at the appliance.

Questions, answered
I think I smell gas, what now?
If you smell gas, leave right away and call FortisBC's 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 (or your propane supplier) or 911 from outside. Then call us for the repair.
Can I hook up my own gas stove or dryer in BC?
Gas appliance installs need a permit, and the work gets inspected. Technical Safety BC issues homeowner gas permits to some owners, but not strata owners, non-strata duplex owners or anyone running a business from the home; inside Kelowna, the permit comes from the City instead. Hire a licensed gas contractor and we pull the permit for you.
Do I need a permit for a BBQ gas hookup?
Yes. A permanent BBQ gas line needs a gas permit. Inside Kelowna, the City of Kelowna issues most natural gas permits. Propane work, and all gas work in West Kelowna, Lake Country, Vernon, Peachland and Oyama, is permitted through Technical Safety BC. We pull the permit and complete the hookup.
Do you do gas pressure testing?
Yes. Any new or repaired gas line gets pressure-tested before we call the job done, and we'll pressure-test an existing line on its own if you just want it checked.
How do I know if natural gas is available at my house?
FortisBC has a map that shows whether gas is available on your street. If it is, FortisBC runs the service line and installs the meter; we do the gas piping from the meter to your appliances and pull the permit for it.
