Gasfitter Services
Gasfitting covers the installation, repair, and alteration of gas piping systems, work that in New York City can only be performed and permitted by a Licensed Master Plumber. This includes everything from running new gas lines to modifying existing piping to support a renovation or equipment change.
Our team performs gasfitter work across the Bronx in accordance with the New York City Fuel Gas Code and Department of Buildings regulations, filing the necessary permits and coordinating any required inspections before a job is considered complete.
Gas piping work is not a task for an unlicensed handyman. Improperly installed or altered gas piping creates a genuine safety hazard, which is why every gasfitter job we take on is performed and signed off by a Licensed Master Plumber.
When Does Gas Piping Work Need a Licensed Master Plumber?
Any time gas piping is being installed, extended, relocated, or altered, whether for a new appliance, a renovated kitchen, or a repair to an existing line, the work must be performed by a Licensed Master Plumber and filed with the Department of Buildings. This applies even to seemingly small changes, since any alteration to a gas piping system can affect its safety and code compliance.
Gasfitter Services in the Bronx: Local Considerations
Gasfitting in the Bronx covers everything from the cooperative towers of Co-op City in the northeast Bronx to the prewar walk-ups and elevator buildings of Belmont, Tremont, and University Heights. Each building type comes with its own piping routes, shaft access, and meter locations to plan around before work begins.
Renovations in older buildings around Highbridge and Morris Heights often uncover gas piping that has been altered piecemeal over the years, so part of a gasfitting job here can be bringing earlier alterations up to the current NYC Fuel Gas Code.
All gas in the Bronx comes through Con Edison, so any gasfitting work that touches the meter or the point of service connection is lined up with Con Edison before the job begins.
