Gas Line Repair & Installation in Boise & Treasure Valley
Natural gas line installation, repair, and leak detection for all residential appliances. We run new gas lines for water heaters, furnaces, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, and outdoor grills — and repair leaks in existing lines with pressure testing to confirm safety.
Intermountain Gas Company serves the Boise metro area, and most homes have gas water heaters, furnaces, and often gas ranges. As homes add appliances — especially tankless water heaters or gas ranges during kitchen remodels — existing gas lines often need upsizing to handle the increased BTU demand.

For leak detection, we use electronic gas sniffers to pinpoint the exact location. For repairs, we isolate the section, replace the damaged pipe or fitting, and pressure-test the entire system. For new installations, we size the gas line based on total BTU demand, run the pipe, connect the appliance, and arrange the inspection.
Gas Line Repair & Installation Cost in Boise
Typical gas line repair & installation costs in the Boise area: $200-$3,000 depending on scope. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Cost factors: Length of new gas line run, pipe size required, number of appliances being connected, whether the meter needs upgrading, accessibility (crawlspace vs attic vs exterior), and whether existing lines need upsizing.
Gas Line Repair & Installation Considerations for Boise Homes
Intermountain Gas requires a permit for new gas line installations and may need to upgrade the meter if total BTU demand exceeds current capacity. Many older Boise homes have 1/2-inch gas lines that are undersized for modern high-BTU appliances like tankless water heaters (which often need 3/4-inch lines).
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas in my Boise home?
Leave the house immediately without turning on lights or appliances (sparks can ignite gas). Call 911 from outside. Do not re-enter until cleared by emergency services. Then call us to locate and repair the leak.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in Boise?
Yes. Ada County requires a permit for new gas line installations and major repairs. We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling as part of every gas line job.
How much does it cost to run a gas line to a new appliance?
A short run (under 20 feet) for a gas range or dryer typically costs $200-$500. Longer runs, multiple appliances, or gas line upsizing for a tankless water heater run $500-$3,000. We provide exact quotes after assessing the job.
Can you convert my electric range to gas?
Yes, if your home has natural gas service (most Boise homes do via Intermountain Gas). We run a new gas line to the kitchen, install the proper connector, and ensure adequate ventilation. The electrical outlet may need to be modified from 240V to 120V as well.
