Why This Page Exists

We do the gas work ourselves.

Ask any HVAC company who is actually running your gas line. A lot of the time the honest answer is: someone else.

  • Gas work needs its own licence. Plenty of HVAC companies do not have one
  • So they hire a gas contractor, and you pay extra for it
  • You also wait on that contractor's schedule, not theirs
  • If something goes wrong later, the two companies blame each other
  • Here, the person who quotes your job is the person who does it
Worth asking any company you call: who holds the gas licence, and are they the one showing up?

Apartments and Condos

Most building gas work is not the boiler room.

It is suites. A stove going in, a dryer coming out, a valve that will not shut off, a laundry room being replaced. That is the work we do most.

  • We can work around tenant notice and building access
  • We stage the shut-offs so the fewest suites lose service
  • Every suite gets leak checked and signed off on its own
  • You get written paperwork for the building file, not a scribbled invoice

The towers along Hurontario, through Cooksville and around Malton mostly went up between the 1960s and the early 1980s. The gas side in those buildings has usually been patched more than once, so what is on the drawings is often not what is on the wall.

One thing we are upfront about. A big central boiler plant in a high rise needs a higher licence than ours. If that is what you have, we will tell you straight away instead of wasting your time.

Restaurants and Businesses

Usually something broke, or a tenant is changing.

Either the kitchen is down and you are losing a day of business, or you are fitting out a new space and the gas has to keep up with it.

  • A kitchen line has to be sized for everything running at once, not one appliance at a time
  • Get that wrong and the burners drop off on a Friday night
  • Your make-up air has to be tied into the hood, or the hood will pull the flame off the burner
  • A unit that used to be retail almost never has enough gas for a kitchen
  • We can work evenings and nights so you do not have to close

We also do rooftop unit connections, warehouse and shop heaters, and commercial water heaters. Around the Dixie, Tomken and Meadowvale industrial areas the usual problem is a heater at the far end of a long run that never gets enough gas.

Recent Work

Gas fitting work across Mississauga.

The kind of work we get called for, by building type and area. A 1970s rental tower in Cooksville and a newer house in Churchill Meadows are very different jobs, and gas is usually where that difference shows up.

We show the type of building and the area, not customer names or addresses. Want a reference for a job like yours? Just ask when you call.

Permits

Do you need a permit? Usually not.

There is a lot of wrong information about this online. Gas piping in Ontario is not handled by the City. It is handled by the province's gas safety regulator, and the rule is simply that a licensed gas contractor has to do the work.

So a barbecue line does not need a City permit. What the City of Mississauga does permit is the building work that sometimes comes with a gas job:

  • A gas fireplace you are using to heat a room
  • A furnace upgrade to a higher efficiency model
  • Changing your furnace ductwork
  • A full heating and cooling system
  • Replacing a rooftop unit
  • A decorative gas fireplace does not need one
You do not have to work any of this out. We tell you what your job needs before we quote it, and we pull the permit ourselves if there is one. You can check the rules on the City of Mississauga website.

Pricing

What changes the price.

Every gas line is priced on the job in front of us. These are the things that move the number.

  • How far it is from the meter. The biggest factor by a mile. Ten feet is a very different job from the back of a deep lot.
  • How big the pipe has to be. Bigger appliances need bigger pipe. Adding two things at once is cheaper than adding them a year apart.
  • What the pipe has to get through. An open basement ceiling is easy. A finished basement, concrete or a separate building is not.
  • Whether your meter can handle it. If it cannot, the gas company has to upgrade it. That is not on our bill, but it does affect your timeline.
  • Permits. If your job needs one, the cost is in the quote. We do not add it later.
  • When we can work. Evenings and nights so a restaurant stays open, or staged shut-offs to keep tenants in heat, cost more than an empty building on a Tuesday.

Our equipment prices are published on the pricing list instead of hidden behind a phone call. Financing is available at 0% from $42 a month on qualifying work.

FAQ

Gas fitting Mississauga FAQs.

Do you do the gas work yourselves?

Yes. Gas work needs its own licence and plenty of HVAC companies do not have one, so they hire it out to a gas contractor. We hold the licence ourselves. The person who quotes your job is the person who does it, and there is one company to call if anything needs looking at again.

Can you run a gas line for a barbecue, stove, dryer or garage heater?

Yes, those are some of our most common jobs. The size of pipe you need depends on the appliance and how far it sits from your meter. That is why we cannot always just tap into a line that is already there. If you are planning to add something else later, like a firepit or a pool heater, tell us now. Sizing it once is cheaper than opening the same run twice.

Why can't you just tap into the line that is already there?

Because everything shares the same supply. If that pipe was sized for your furnace and water heater, adding a stove or a pool heater can starve all three. You would notice it as a furnace that struggles on a cold night, or an appliance that burns badly. We work out the total load first.

Do I need a permit for gas work in Mississauga?

For the gas line itself, usually not. Gas piping in Ontario is not handled by the City. It is covered by the province's gas safety regulator, and the rule is that a licensed gas contractor has to do the work. The City does require a permit for some of the building work that can come with a gas job, like a gas fireplace used for heating, a furnace efficiency upgrade, duct changes or a rooftop unit replacement. We tell you what applies to your job before we quote it, and we pull the permit ourselves.

Do you work on apartment and condo buildings?

Yes, a lot. Stoves and dryers in suites, whole floors turning over at once, shared laundry rooms, suite shut-off valves and leak finding in occupied buildings. We work around tenant notice and building access, and you get written paperwork for the building file. One thing we are upfront about: a large central boiler plant in a high rise needs a higher licence than ours, and we will say so rather than waste your time.

Can you do restaurants and commercial kitchens?

Yes. Ranges, charbroilers, fryers and ovens, plus the make-up air that has to be tied into your hood. A kitchen line has to be sized for everything running at once, not one appliance at a time, or the burners drop off when you are busiest. We can work evenings and nights so you do not have to close.

How do you know the new line is safe?

We pressure test it before any gas goes near it, so a leak shows up on a gauge instead of in your building. Once the gas is on we check every joint again with a detector, then fire up the appliance and make sure it is burning properly.

How much does a gas line cost?

It depends on how far the appliance is from your meter, how big the pipe has to be, and what the pipe has to get through along the way. A short run across an open basement is very different from one going under a finished floor. You get the full price in writing before we start, permits included. Our equipment prices are published on our pricing list.

What if my gas meter is not big enough?

That happens, especially on older homes where someone wants to add a pool heater or a garage heater to a service sized decades ago. The meter belongs to the gas company, so the upgrade goes through them. We do the calculation that shows what you need and tell you before you have spent money on the appliance.

I can smell gas. What do I do right now?

Leave the building. Do not turn anything on or off, and do not use a phone inside. Once you are outside, call Enbridge Gas on 1-866-763-5427 or call 911. That line is open 24 hours and they will come and make it safe. Call us after that and we will handle the repair.

Can you cap off a gas line I am not using?

Yes. Old lines left behind after an appliance was removed are common in older Mississauga homes, and a live valve on a pipe that goes nowhere is not something to leave sitting behind drywall. We cap it properly and test the rest of the system afterwards.

Are you available after hours?

We answer the phone 24 hours a day on (647) 280-6626. Gas problems do not wait for business hours, and no heat in February is not a Monday morning problem.

What areas do you cover?

We are based at 5625 Topaz Pl in Churchill Meadows, so we are about half an hour from anywhere in Mississauga. We also cover Oakville, Etobicoke, Burlington and Milton.
