He will then give a custom quote with all their recommend options and help the client select the best option for their home and budget. At this point, Tennessee Standard Plumbing will run the gas line after filing a permit with the local authorities.

Gas is a powerful and efficient solution for heating a home. Gas can be used with many different appliances to heat faster than their electric counterparts. Gas stoves, gas dryers, gas logs at fireplaces, gas water heaters, and gas furnaces are some of the most popular gas appliances. The gas lines in your home are used to supply the fuel to each of the gas fixtures in your home.Gas piping in your home will usually be either black iron threaded pipes or flexible gas lines such as Trac Pipe or Flash Shield. The flexible gas pipes in a home are usually either black or yellow. Don’t confuse old galvanized (usually a gray color) waterlines with the black iron pipe used to run gas.

Gas appliances generally heat faster and are more efficient than electric appliances. Gas burners can heat both water and air more intensely than electric coils that are used in electric heaters, furnaces, and stoves. In the debate of gas vs. electric, sometimes it just comes down to the opinion of the consumer because both are viable options. Most homeowners love cooking on a gas stove when compared to an electric glass top stove, but some clients prefer to keep their entire home electric so as not to have to worry about another energy source. Most professionals recommend gas appliances over electric because they just seem to work better and give better results.

Yes! Good quality gas grills can be converted from propane to natural gas. At Tennessee Standard Plumbing, we can run a gas line from your gas meter or your propane tank and put a gas valve wherever you keep your grill. When your grill is connected to your home’s gas system, you can say goodbye to ever having to swap your grill propane tanks again!

Propane is compressed into a liquid state to be sold and transported whereas natural gas is kept in a gaseous state and transported via a pipeline throughout the community. Natural gas is usually found in more heavily populated areas and is supplied by the local municipality through pipelines, straight to the natural gas meter at your home. Propane is necessary in more rural areas where it is out of range of the city gas piping.Both propane and natural gas work great for heating, but the price of natural gas is usually quite lower than that of propane because a propane supplier has to actually deliver the propane instead of it flowing through the gas main, straight to your home.

The consensus between professionals is that black iron is the most durable and safest form of gas piping. However, recent advancements in flexible repairs have exponentially increased the safety of this product. Tennessee Standard Plumbing uses FlashShield CSST (Corrugated Stainless-Steel Tubing) when flexible piping is necessary, because we consider it the safest flexible gas pipe on the market.
https://www.gastite.com/us/products/flashshield/flashshieldplus_csst/Flexible piping allows plumbers to add gas lines where it may be otherwise impossible to add one after a home is already fully built and finished. As a rule of thumb, we always run black iron on the exterior of a building and then run flexible piping inside walls and crawlspaces where running rigid black pipe would not be feasible. That way, the flexible pipe is protected from physical abuse and sun damage that it could incur if it were on the exterior of a home.Some sources say that flex piping is superior to black iron piping because if a house disaster happens (such as an earthquake), black iron pipe can actually snap and break whereas flexible pipe handle those kind of earth forces much better. These situations are extremely rare but still worth considering if you are in an earthquake-prone location.Keep in mind that when gas piping is installed by a licensed contractor who has been trained to use commercial piping supports and to perform all the appropriate tests required to complete a system, it’s extremely safe. However, if you do smell natural gas, contact your local provider immediately.

Tennessee Standard Plumbing is licensed as a plumbing contractor with the State of Tennessee CMC-A license. Additionally, we hold both our gas and plumbing licenses with the City of Knoxville. If you need a line run to a water heater, stove, fireplace, or other appliance, we can complete it to the highest standards and pull a permit from any of the local authorities in the greater Knoxville area.

If you want gas but don’t currently have a meter, check first with your local municipality to see if there is gas available via a main running beneath the street. If there is, you can pay a minimal charge for them to run a line to your home and install a meter. Your local plumbing or mechanical specialist can then connect the gas piping from your home to the meter after passing an inspection with local authorities.If you do not have gas available from your municipality, you can contact a local propane supplier to purchase or rent a large propane tank (Typically 100 gal. to 1,000. Gal.). This tank is then buried in your yard or set on a pad beside your home and the gas piping from your home is connected accordingly.
‍

If you smell gas inside your home, immediately call your local municipality to check for a leak inside the home. You can also turn off the valve to the fixture in question if it is easily accessible as it should be. Sometimes a professional must do a pressure test on your entire system to ensure that there are no leaks, or to identify where they’re coming from. Call Tennessee Standard Plumbing if you need your gas system inspected in the greater Knoxville area.
