Smell gas, need a new line run for an outdoor kitchen, or converting an appliance from electric to gas? A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating provides licensed gas line installation, repair, and leak detection for Littleton homes. Every job is performed to Colorado gas code, pressure tested, permitted, and inspected, with upfront pricing before any work begins.
Littleton’s mix of older homes in Ken Caryl Ranch and Columbine Valley alongside newer construction near Grant Ranch and Roxborough Park means gas line work here covers a wide range of conditions, from aging black iron pipe that has been in the ground for decades to new CSST runs in recently built homes. Colorado code does not allow copper for gas piping, since the additives used to odorize natural gas can break down copper from the inside over time, so any older system using copper fittings needs to be evaluated and corrected.
A growing number of Littleton homeowners are also extending gas service outdoors, running lines for fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and patio heaters to make better use of Colorado’s long outdoor season. These exterior runs come with their own requirements around trenching depth, weather-rated materials above ground, and proper shutoff valve placement, separate from the considerations for an indoor appliance hookup.
Whether the job is a single appliance connection, a full system evaluation after a suspected leak, or a new line for an outdoor build, our licensed gas technicians handle the permitting, the pressure testing, and the inspection coordination with Littleton and the applicable county.
A rotten egg odor, a hissing sound near a pipe or appliance, dead vegetation in an otherwise healthy yard, or unusually high gas bills can all point to a leak. If you smell gas strongly, leave the home or area immediately and call from outside, then contact your gas utility and a licensed technician. For smaller, lingering concerns, we locate the source with proper leak detection equipment and repair it to code.
Copper gas piping was used in some older Littleton homes before current code phased it out, and undersized lines were common in houses that have since added appliances over the years. Both situations create real safety and performance issues. We evaluate existing gas piping and replace anything that no longer meets code or can not support the home’s current appliance load, using approved black iron pipe or corrugated stainless steel tubing.
Switching a range, dryer, or water heater from electric to gas, or adding a new gas appliance during a remodel, requires a properly sized line run from the existing supply, correct fittings, and a pressure test before the appliance goes into service. We handle the full run, the connection, and the safety test for Littleton homeowners making the switch.
Running gas outdoors for a fire pit, built in grill, or outdoor kitchen involves trenching to the correct depth, using weather rated materials for any above ground exposed sections, and placing shutoff valves where they remain accessible for service. Line sizing also depends on the BTU load of the fixture and the length of the run, so a fire pit at the far end of a Littleton backyard may need a larger line than one closer to the house.
New builds and major additions in Littleton need a complete gas distribution plan sized for every appliance on the system, from the furnace and water heater to the range and any outdoor fixtures. We design and install whole-home gas systems from the meter forward, coordinated with the other trades on the job.
Buying or selling a Littleton home with an older gas system, or simply have not had the lines checked in years? We perform full gas line inspections, including pressure testing and a visual check of accessible piping and fittings, with a written report you can use for peace of mind or as part of a real estate transaction.
Suspected Gas Leak, Rotten Egg Smell or Hissing Sound
A rotten egg odor, a hissing sound near a pipe or appliance, dead vegetation in an otherwise healthy yard, or unusually high gas bills can all point to a leak. If you smell gas strongly, leave the home or area immediately and call from outside, then contact your gas utility and a licensed technician. For smaller, lingering concerns, we locate the source with proper leak detection equipment and repair it to code.
Old Copper or Undersized Gas Lines
Copper gas piping was used in some older Littleton homes before current code phased it out, and undersized lines were common in houses that have since added appliances over the years. Both situations create real safety and performance issues. We evaluate existing gas piping and replace anything that no longer meets code or can not support the home’s current appliance load, using approved black iron pipe or corrugated stainless steel tubing.
Adding or Converting an Appliance to Gas
Switching a range, dryer, or water heater from electric to gas, or adding a new gas appliance during a remodel, requires a properly sized line run from the existing supply, correct fittings, and a pressure test before the appliance goes into service. We handle the full run, the connection, and the safety test for Littleton homeowners making the switch.
Outdoor Kitchen, Fire Pit, and Patio Heater Lines
Running gas outdoors for a fire pit, built in grill, or outdoor kitchen involves trenching to the correct depth, using weather rated materials for any above ground exposed sections, and placing shutoff valves where they remain accessible for service. Line sizing also depends on the BTU load of the fixture and the length of the run, so a fire pit at the far end of a Littleton backyard may need a larger line than one closer to the house.
New Construction and Whole-Home Gas System Installation
New builds and major additions in Littleton need a complete gas distribution plan sized for every appliance on the system, from the furnace and water heater to the range and any outdoor fixtures.
