Silver Spring has a wide mix of gas line needs: oil-to-gas conversions in older mid-century homes, new appliance hookups in renovated kitchens, outdoor gas line runs for grills and fire pits, and full gas line replacements in homes where the original 1950s line has reached the end of its service life. Tim Whistler Plumbing handles all of it with WSSC permits and Montgomery County inspections coordinated as part of the work.
Silver Spring has a lot of homes built between 1920 and 1965 with original or partially-original gas service. Common reasons we get called for gas line work: converting from oil heat to gas (requires bringing gas service into the home from the street and running lines to the new equipment), adding a gas range during a kitchen remodel, hooking up a new gas dryer, installing an outdoor grill or fire pit, or replacing an aging line that fails pressure testing.
We evaluate your existing gas service, plan the new line routing, pull WSSC permits, install the line per code, pressure test the entire run, and coordinate the Montgomery County inspection. The line is energized only after the inspector signs off.
Single appliance gas line installations in Silver Spring typically run $500 to $2,500. Outdoor gas runs cost $1,500 to $4,500 depending on distance and complexity. Oil-to-gas conversions (which include the gas service entry and lines to the new equipment) often run $5,000 to $12,000 depending on scope. We provide written, itemized quotes.
Yes. Oil-to-gas conversions are one of the more common projects we handle in older Silver Spring homes. We coordinate with Washington Gas for the new service line to the home, run the indoor gas lines to your new equipment, install the gas-fired furnace, boiler, or water heater, and pull WSSC and Montgomery County permits for the work.
