Licensed gas line installation, repair, and leak detection — fixed-price quotes from a licensed local team.
A natural gas leak is a life-safety hazard. Do NOT operate switches, plugs, garage doors, or phones inside the house. Get everyone outside, then call PSE&G at 1-800-880-PSEG. After they shut it off, call us at (973) 397-5347 to find and repair the source.
Gas line work is one of the highest-stakes plumbing jobs there is — and not every plumber is licensed for it. Improperly installed or unpermitted gas piping can cause leaks, fires, carbon-monoxide exposure, and voided homeowners insurance. Sidekick is fully NJ-licensed for gas piping and pulls the required permit on every job, no exceptions. We install gas lines for ranges, ovens, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, generators, pool heaters, and outdoor grills. If capacity is the limiting factor, we explain the issue before work starts so you know when a utility-side upgrade may be required.
This service includes licensed service standards, call-by-call job management, and a fixed-price quote before work begins. Here's what's included:
If you're seeing any of the following in your Morris County home, it's time to call a licensed plumber:
We check your existing gas service size and meter capacity to confirm a new appliance won't starve other equipment.
We pull the gas piping permit with your town and design the run in CSST or black iron to NJ Uniform Construction Code.
Lines are installed, sealed, and pressure-tested to code requirements.
Town inspection, pressure-test documentation, and final connection of the appliance.
We don't post fixed prices online because every job is different — but we do quote a fixed price before any work starts. Here's what affects gas line services pricing:
Want a fixed-price quote? Call (973) 397-5347 or book online. We will assess the issue, explain your options, and write up a fixed-price quote before work begins. Diagnosis is included when repair work is approved; any standalone visit fee is disclosed before booking.

Natural gas is naturally odorless — utilities add a chemical called mercaptan that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. If you smell it, leave the house immediately, don't touch any switches or appliances, and call PSE&G at 1-800-880-PSEG. After they shut it off, call Sidekick to find and repair the source.
Yes — every Morris County town requires a permit for new gas piping or any modification to an existing line. We pull the permit, perform the work to NJ Uniform Construction Code, and coordinate the inspection. Doing gas work without a permit can void your homeowners insurance and cause major issues at resale.
Absolutely — switching from electric to gas (or relocating a gas range) is one of the most common gas jobs we do. We assess your existing gas service capacity, run new piping in CSST or black iron, install the shutoff valve, and pressure-test the line.
A typical residential gas line run for a single appliance — including permit, materials, labor, and pressure testing — usually falls between $500 and $1,500. Longer runs or jobs requiring a utility-side service upgrade cost more. We always quote a fixed price after seeing the site.
Yes — generator gas line installation is one of our most common gas jobs. We assess capacity, run the line, install the fuel shutoff and regulator, and coordinate with the electrician on transfer-switch sizing.
A single-appliance run (range, dryer, water heater) is typically a half-day job once permits are in hand. Larger jobs (generator, pool heater, multiple appliances) may take a full day or two.
NJ requires an inspection of every new gas piping run before the gas service can be turned on. We coordinate the inspection directly with your town's building department — you don't have to do anything except confirm an access window.
