    Plumber recs? Need a gas line ran

    Does anyone have a plumber they recommend for Dallas/Lake Highlands? I'm converting my electric range to gas and need a line ran. The fireplace is gas and that's about 30 feet from the range. I received a quote of $1,200 a while back which just seems really high to me. It's a pier and beam foundation with 14 foot ceilings in the area I'm discussing. I am not doing this on my own. Thanks in advance!

    Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

    You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

    I have gas for heat but an electric range. If I didn't have a slab and brand new flooring I would look into converting ours. Dang, I wish I would have thought about it before doing the floors.

      Gas lines are ran over head, no need to damage the floors or the slab.

          Ya learn something new every day!

          We had a line ran for our stove. Advice I would pass along, make sure everything is ran in such a way that the stove will push back to the wall all of the way. Ours was ran through a lower cabinet and now, the stove will not go all of the way to the wall.

            How baller is the stove you're putting in? I know you might not use all burners on high at the same time, but keep it in mind.

            In our last house when we renovated the kitchen I went with a six-burner commercial style unit. All six burners on full blast was good for 90,000 BTU and we had to have a new gas line run all the way from the meter on the other side of the house. The line feeding the fireplace was not big enough to feed the cooktop, much less the burners plus the fireplace if the need arose.

            I'll to dig through my records and see if I can find an itemized number for that work.

              Not sure yet. I should clarify it's not the oven and burners - it's a 36" gas cooktop. Will likely be a 5-6 burner but don't know the BTU. I have a line not far away that's outside feeding my grill at 68,000 BTU so perhaps that'll work.

              *Edit*
              Looks like ones we're looking at are around 55-60k BTU.

                any idea what size the line is going into your house? i dont have any of my sizing guides with me but one key to gas line sizing will be the BTU's of the furthest appliance, and the distance from the source. In all honesty what strychnine said would likely be the same scenario if it was never designed to have 60k+ bTU's behind after the fireplace
