Heating Equipment Gas Lines
Proper gas supply for efficient, safe heating system operation
Gas Lines for Heating Systems
Your heating equipment needs a properly sized gas supply to operate safely and efficiently. Whether you're installing a new furnace, replacing a boiler, or upgrading your heating system, Patterson Mechanical's licensed gas fitters ensure your equipment gets the gas flow it needs.
In Manitoba's harsh winters, reliable heating is essential. A properly installed gas line is the foundation of a dependable heating system. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Stonewall, Winnipeg, and the surrounding areas.
Heating Equipment We Connect
Furnaces
Gas line installation and upgrades for forced-air furnaces. Whether installing a new high-efficiency unit or replacing an aging furnace, we ensure proper gas supply and connections.
Boilers
Gas connections for hot water and steam boilers. Boilers often require larger gas lines than furnaces, and proper sizing is critical for efficient operation.
Water Heaters
Gas line installation for tank and tankless water heaters. On-demand tankless units often need upgraded gas lines to handle their higher flow requirements.
Rooftop Units
Commercial rooftop heating equipment requires properly sized gas piping run to the roof. We handle both new installations and equipment replacements.
Unit Heaters
Gas lines for garage heaters, shop heaters, and warehouse unit heaters. Keep your workspace comfortable during Manitoba's cold winters.
Radiant Tube Heaters
Gas connections for infrared radiant heating systems commonly used in warehouses, shops, and agricultural buildings.
Why Proper Gas Line Sizing Matters
Undersized gas lines can cause serious problems with your heating equipment:
- Reduced efficiency: Equipment can't operate at full capacity if it's starved for gas
- Equipment damage: Improper combustion can damage burners and heat exchangers
- Safety hazards: Incomplete combustion can produce dangerous carbon monoxide
- Premature failure: Equipment working harder than designed wears out faster
- Comfort issues: Your home or building may not heat properly
When You Need Gas Line Work
- New equipment installation: New furnaces and boilers often need new or upgraded gas lines
- High-efficiency upgrades: Modern high-efficiency equipment may have different gas requirements
- Adding equipment: Adding a second furnace, water heater, or other appliance may require line upgrades
- Converting from oil or propane: Switching to natural gas requires new gas line installation
- Building additions: Extending your home or building may require gas line extensions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upgrade my gas line when replacing my furnace?
Not always, but often yes. Modern high-efficiency furnaces may have different gas requirements than older units. We assess your existing gas supply and recommend upgrades if needed to ensure safe, efficient operation.
Can you install gas lines for tankless water heaters?
Yes. Tankless water heaters often require larger gas lines than traditional tank heaters because they need more gas flow during operation. We properly size and install gas lines for all types of water heaters.
What if I want to add a second furnace for my basement suite?
Adding a second furnace often requires upgrading your main gas line or meter to handle the additional load. We assess your current gas supply capacity and coordinate any necessary upgrades with the utility company.
