Kitchen equipment
Every appliance gets its own shut-off valve. Equipment on wheels gets a commercial hose with a quick disconnect and a cable that stops it pulling on the pipe when you roll it out to clean.

Who Calls Us
Commercial gas fitting for spaces that cannot sit idle.
Commercial gas fitting in Mississauga is mostly about timing. The gas work itself is the easy part. Doing it without costing you a day of business is the hard part.
The people who call us for commercial gas work:
- Restaurant owners adding, swapping or moving cooking equipment
- Landlords getting a plaza unit ready for the next tenant
- General contractors who need a gas trade on a fit-out
- Property managers with rooftop units, make-up air or laundry rooms
- Shop and warehouse owners heating a large open space
Where we stop. Large central boiler plants in high-rise buildings need a higher class of gas licence than ours. If that is your job, we tell you on the first call.
The Work
Commercial gas jobs we do.
The gas fitter Mississauga page lists every type of job. Here is what each commercial one involves.
Fit-out rough-in
We run the gas while the ceiling is still open, cap and test each drop, and mark it. When the equipment arrives, hookup is quick.
Rooftop units
Pipe on a roof sits on proper supports, never on the roofing. Each unit gets a shut-off and a sediment trap so dirt in the gas stays out of the burner.
Make-up air units
These heat the outside air that replaces what the kitchen hood pulls out. They burn a lot of gas, so the line has to be sized for them.
Unit and tube heaters
Hanging heaters in shops and warehouses. We keep the clearance to racking and stock, and put a valve where someone can reach it without a lift.
Water heaters and laundry
Commercial water heaters and laundry room dryers draw far more gas than home models. See commercial water heaters.
Off Hours
Staged shut-offs, so only one area loses gas.
Shutting off gas to a whole building costs everyone in it. Most of the time it is not needed.
- We walk the building first and find every valve
- We work out which valve feeds which unit or appliance
- We close only the branch we are working on
- We give you the shut-off time in writing, so you can tell tenants or staff
- Before we leave, every appliance we shut off is relit and checked
If valves are missing or seized, we tell you. Adding valves now means the next job, and the next emergency, only takes down one unit.

Process
How a commercial gas fitting job runs.
Six steps, from the first site visit to the paperwork for your file.
Site visit and equipment list
We look at the meter, the existing pipe and the roof or ceiling route. Send us the spec sheets for new equipment. The gas input is printed on each one.
Gas load and pressure
We add up the input of all equipment that could run at once. Some commercial buildings get gas at a higher pressure, with a regulator at each unit. We check which yours has.
Quote and schedule
A written price and a work window that suits you. If Enbridge has to change the meter, we tell you how that affects the timeline.
Install
Pipe sized and supported for the load, valves where staff can reach them, and connections made to suit each piece of equipment.
Test on a gauge
New pipe is pressure tested before gas goes in. We record the test so you have it for the landlord, the insurer or an inspector.
Start-up
Each appliance is lit and checked for a clean burn. Staff are shown where the shut-offs are.
Before You Sign
Check the gas before you sign a restaurant lease.
Gas is one of the costliest surprises in a new restaurant space. Ask these questions before the lease is signed.
- How big is the gas meter, and what does it feed today?
- Is there gas pipe into the unit already, and how big?
- Where would a make-up air unit go on the roof?
- Who pays if the meter or service has to be upgraded?
- Can the gas be shut off to this unit alone?
We can look at the space with you, list the equipment you plan to run, and tell you plainly what the gas side needs. That helps you negotiate before you commit, not after.
Where We Work
Commercial gas work across Mississauga and nearby.
We do commercial gas fitting across Mississauga, and in Oakville, Etobicoke and Burlington.
Restaurants along Lakeshore in Port Credit and Clarkson, and on Queen Street in Streetsville, are often in older buildings. The gas pipe has been changed by many tenants over the years. We trace it before we add to it. Newer plazas and industrial units have the opposite problem: the gas was sized for an empty shell.

FAQ
Commercial gas fitting FAQs.
Do I need a licensed gas fitter for a restaurant fit-out?
Yes. In Ontario, all gas piping and appliance hookups have to be done by a licensed gas fitter. Ours is on our own team, so the general contractor does not need to find a separate gas company.
Who pays for a bigger gas meter in a commercial unit?
The meter belongs to Enbridge, so the upgrade goes through them. Whether the landlord or the tenant pays depends on the lease. We give you the gas load numbers the request needs.
Can you hook up gas to a new rooftop unit?
Yes. We run the pipe across the roof on supports, add a shut-off and sediment trap at the unit, test it and light it. For the unit itself, see rooftop unit repair.
Can you do gas work after my restaurant closes?
Yes. We often work before prep starts or after the last order so you do not lose a service. Off-hours work is priced in the quote before we start.
What is a make-up air unit?
It brings fresh outside air into a kitchen to replace the air the hood pulls out. In winter it heats that air with gas. Without it, the kitchen gets cold and the hood cannot pull smoke out properly.
Why is my restaurant kitchen cold when the hood is on?
Usually the make-up air unit is off, broken or short of gas. The hood is pulling out warm air and cold air is leaking in to replace it. We check the gas side and the burner.
Do you work for general contractors on commercial jobs?
Yes. We fit into your schedule, rough in the gas while ceilings are open, and leave each drop capped, tested and marked for the equipment.
Does commercial gas work need a City permit in Mississauga?
The gas piping falls under the province's gas safety rules, not a City permit. The fit-out itself usually has a building permit held by the contractor or landlord. Replacing a rooftop unit needs a City permit, and we pull it when that is our job.
Can you work on a high-rise central boiler plant?
No. Large central boiler plants need a higher class of gas licence than ours. We will say so on the first call. Suites, laundry rooms, rooftop units and make-up air in the same building we can do.
