Do Plumbers Deal With Gas?

When you think of plumbing, chances are you’re thinking of things like fix a clogged toilet, repairing a faucet or sink, pipes that carry water and sewage, as well as do installation and repair jobs for faucets, sinks, garbage disposals, sewer lines, etc. You’re probably thinking of all the parts of the freshwater and wastewater system of a home or commercial building.

Can a Plumber Run a Gas Line?

 

 

 

Natural and propane gas pipes are an important part of the services some professional plumbers like Duncan Plumbing Solutions offer. Many plumbers are NOT certified in this area. However, if you are looking for a plumber to install or work with alternative fuels such as liquid propane, natural gas or medical gas in Waxahachie, Ellis County or the Dallas or Ft. Worth metroplex, look no further than Duncan Plumbing Solutions. We can install, service or repair the gas piping for your home or business. We’re a full-service plumbing company that can handle any gas job, big or small from LPG, Propane, Butane, and Natural Gas.

You Must Hire a Plumber with Special Gas Certification

It’s illegal for just any plumber to work on a pipe or appliance connected to a gas main unless they have a special license to do so. Not only are professional gas plumbers the only people with the skill to do the job, they are the only people who are allowed to do the job. There’s good reason for this limitation! Leaking gas lines are tremendous health hazards. Gas explosions have been in the news in Ellis County and all around Waxahachie. Make sure you stay safe and see that properly licensed professional plumbers such as Duncan Plumbing Solutions handle all your gas piping services.

Who Regulates and Licenses Plumbers to Install and Repair Gas Lines in Texas?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Railroad Commission of Texas is the state agency responsible for regulating the safe storage, transportation and use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG, Propane, Butane), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), pursuant to the Texas Natural Resources Code (TNRC). The Commission has also adopted regulations for each fuel type under the Texas Administrative Code, Title 16, Chapters 9, 13, and 14, respectively. Duncan Plumbing Solutions is fully licensed with the The Railroad Commission of Texas to safely work with plumbing gas lines.

The Alternative Fuels Safety (AFS) department enforces both the state statutes and the Commission’s regulations on these fuels, by conducting safety evaluations of stationary facilities and mobile equipment, licensing companies engaged in alternative fuel activities, and providing training to individuals working in the alternative fuels industries.

DUNCAN PLUMBING SPECIALLY CERTIFIED TO HANDLE Compressed Natural Gas & Propane

The Alternative Fuels Safety (AFS) department of the Railroad Commission of Texas is charged with adopting and enforcing regulations for the safe storage, transportation and use of gas, including Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in the State of Texas. Plumbers like Duncan Plumbing Solutions are certified and licensed with the State of Texas through the Railroad Commission of Texas and are responsible for complying with state statutes, the Commission’s safety rules and adopted national and federal codes that are specific to each installation type.

Our gas plumbers do many repair jobs, but they’re also available to assist with new gas line installation. Gas is the #1 choice for chefs and the preferred method of cooking. It is also the best choice if you are going with a tankless water heater. There are many benefits to expanding use of natural gas. Talk to our plumbers to find out what we can do to put in more gas lines for your appliances.

For your home, you may be considering changing out an old electric clothes dryer for a gas-powered one—a much more powerful unit, and also less expensive to run. To have the new gas lines put in to run the laundry machine, you’ll also want our professionals to do the work.

We encourage both homes and businesses to look into ways to increase their use of natural gas, which is a safe, clean-burning, inexpensive fuel that’s domestically produced and readily available.
