For construction professionals, determining the cost of gas installation is crucial for project planning. On average, costs range from $600 to $5,000, depending on various factors. CountBricks provides precise estimates by integrating real-time material pricing, regional labor rates, and local code requirements, delivering accurate residential gas line estimates swiftly.
These ranges include parts, labor, permits, pressure testing, and basic restoration. Your final number depends on several cost drivers detailed below.
Black Steel – Durable and affordable but heavier to work with, increasing labor costs in tight spaces.
Copper – Corrosion-resistant and flexible. Higher material cost and restricted use in some areas.
CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing) – Easier installation around obstacles, reducing labor hours. Though pricier, it often results in net savings on complex retrofits.
Licensed professionals must handle gas work. Permit fees range from $50 to $350. Inspections add time but ensure safety. CountBricks automatically updates permit pricing for your ZIP code, eliminating surprise costs.
Each added appliance increases BTU load and pipe diameter. For example, a high-output range may require a ¾-inch line instead of a ½-inch, adding 10–15% to material cost. CountBricks calculates BTU demand to prevent overspending or undersizing.

Does converting from propane change the price? Conversions usually cost less because existing piping can be reused. CountBricks factors conversion kits and regulator swaps automatically.
Can I DIY my gas line? Most municipalities forbid unlicensed installation. DIY attempts often fail pressure tests, leading to costly rework. CountBricks connects you with certified pros who pass inspection the first time.
How long does installation take? Small additions finish in a day; major extensions can span three days plus inspection time. CountBricks schedules tasks on a live Gantt chart so homeowners know exactly when gas is flowing.
