Gas line installation in Kelowna for BBQs, ranges, fireplaces & more
Adding a gas range, BBQ, fire pit, fireplace, dryer, patio heater or a bigger water heater starts with a gas line sized for it. We plan the run, pull the gas permit, install the line and pressure-test it before anything is connected.

Quick answer
For gas line installation in Kelowna, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. New natural gas and propane lines for BBQs, ranges, fireplaces, dryers, heaters and water heaters, sized for the total load and pressure-tested under permit by a gas contractor licensed with Technical Safety BC (LGA0212697).
Every gas appliance you add puts more load on the same gas system. A line that easily feeds a furnace and a water heater may not have room for a range, a fire table and a tankless heater on top. The new line has to be sized for everything that could run at once, not just the new appliance, or something ends up starved for gas on a cold night.
Gas line work needs a gas permit and an inspection. 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. Under our gas contractor licence (LGA0212697), we pull the permit, and every new line is pressure-tested before the appliance is connected. You get a shut-off at each appliance.
We run lines for natural gas BBQs and fire pits, kitchen ranges during renos, fireplaces, dryers, patio and garage heaters, and bigger or tankless water heaters. If you're moving a range or adding an appliance as part of a renovation, call before the walls close so the line can go in cleanly.

A permanent line to your deck or patio, ending in a shut-off valve, so there are no tanks to refill or swap. Fire tables, fire pits and patio heaters too.

Upsizing the line for a tankless water heater or a new furnace, which is often what makes the upgrade possible.

What goes into a gas line install
Here's what we look at on every new line, so you know what you're paying for.
Total load
We add up what every gas appliance in the house could draw at once and check the meter and existing piping can supply it. If the meter needs upgrading, we arrange it with FortisBC, which owns the meter.
Sizing the run
Pipe size depends on the load and the length of the run. An undersized line is a common reason a new appliance burns poorly.
The right route
Indoors, outdoors or underground with approved pipe, the line is run and supported where it is protected, accessible and to code.
Permit
Gas line work 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 it, and we can put the permit number and our licence number on your invoice, which FortisBC rebates ask for.
Pressure test
Every new or modified line is pressure-tested before anything is connected, so a leak is found by us, not by you.
Shut-off at the appliance
Each appliance gets its own shut-off, so it can be serviced or removed without turning off the whole house.
Current as of November 2026

Questions, answered
How much does a gas line installation cost?
It depends on the length of the run, the route, and whether the existing piping or meter needs upgrading for the new load. We look at the job and give you a fair, upfront price, permit included, before we start.
Do I need a permit for a BBQ gas line?
Yes. A permanent gas line to a BBQ needs a gas permit and an inspection. 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 hold licence LGA0212697 and handle the permit.
Can any BBQ go on a natural gas line?
Only a BBQ made for natural gas, or one converted with the manufacturer's natural gas kit. A BBQ built for a tank runs at a different pressure and can't simply be connected to a gas line.
Do you install propane lines?
Yes. We run propane piping from your supplier's tank and regulator to ranges, fireplaces, heaters and water heaters, and hook up propane appliances, under a Technical Safety BC permit. The propane supplier sets the tank and fills it.
Can my gas meter handle another appliance?
Usually, but not always. We add up the total load of every gas appliance in the house and check it against the meter and existing piping before we quote. The meter belongs to FortisBC, so if it needs upgrading, we arrange that with them.
Can you move a gas line for a kitchen renovation?
Yes. Moving or extending a range or dryer line is a regular part of the work. Call before the walls close so the new line can be run cleanly and tested.
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. If it is not available, propane from a supplier's tank is the usual option, and we run those lines too.
