Gas Fitting
Natural gas is one of the most efficient and affordable ways to heat your home and power your appliances. But gas systems need to be installed and serviced correctly to keep your home safe.
Why It Matters That Your Gas Fitter Is Licensed and Qualified
We are licensed, experienced gas fitters who install, repair, and maintain natural gas systems for homeowners, strata properties, and small commercial spaces. With decades of hands-on experience, we focus on safe installations, proper code compliance, and honest, practical advice. Our goal is simple: make your gas system reliable, safe, and worry-free.
Gas work isn't something to leave to guesswork. Incorrectly installed gas lines can lead to leaks, unsafe pressure levels, appliance failure, and serious safety risks. A licensed gas fitter understands gas code, regulations, and proper installation practices.
Gas fitting is a compulsory trade in many provinces, including British Columbia. A gas fitter must hold a valid provincial license and be registered with the relevant safety authority to legally perform gas work. To become a gas fitter, you must either be a registered apprentice working under a certified journeyman or hold the certification yourself. Certification is required to work as a gas fitter in BC, and gas fitters must have a certificate to work on natural gas and propane equipment.

Signs You Should Call a Gas Fitter Right Away
Contact a professional gas fitter immediately if you notice any of the items below. If you suspect a major leak, leave the building and call emergency services first. Safety always comes first.
Hidden Leak in a Crawl Space
A homeowner contacted us after smelling gas occasionally near their furnace room. Another company had installed a new line but never pressure tested it. We inspected the system and found a small leak at a threaded joint in the crawl space. We repaired the connection, tested the entire line properly, and educated the customer on what warning signs to watch for.
Upgrading a Home for a New Gas Range
A family upgrading from electric to a gas range hired us to install a new gas line into the kitchen. The existing line was too small to support both the furnace and the new appliance. We upgraded the system safely, pressure-tested everything, and made sure the new range worked perfectly.
Repair Underground Gas Mains After Landscaping Damage
A backyard renovation accidentally damaged a buried gas line feeding a patio heater. We located the damaged section, repaired it to code, and ensured clearance and support were proper so the line would not be vulnerable again.
