Safety first
Gas work is the one plumbing trade where DIY is off the table — in Florida it requires a licensed contractor and a county permit. Here is what to do if you smell gas, and what legitimate repair and installation should cost.
| Job | Florida range (2026) |
|---|---|
| Leak repair at appliance connection | $250–$600 |
| New line to water heater / range / dryer | $500–$1,200 |
| Outdoor kitchen / pool heater line | $800–$1,500+ |
| Whole-system pressure test & inspection | $150–$400 |
Estimates based on 2026 market data; permits and pressure tests should be included in the quote.
Gas piping is licensed work: a Florida certified plumbing contractor (CFC) or certified gas line specialist must pull a county permit, and the work gets inspected — including a pressure test before the line is energized. When comparing companies in our directory, verify the license number on DBPR's lookup before anyone touches a gas line.

Leave the house immediately — do not flip switches, use phones inside, or try to find the leak yourself. From outside, call your gas utility’s emergency line (they respond free, 24/7), then a licensed gas plumber for the repair once the utility secures the scene.
Gas line work requires a licensed plumbing or gas contractor in Florida (state certification through DBPR) plus a county permit for new lines and extensions. Never let a handyman or unlicensed contractor touch gas piping.
Small repairs at an appliance connection run $250–$600. New line runs to a water heater, range or outdoor kitchen cost $500–$1,500 depending on length and routing. Pressure tests and permits are usually included in legitimate quotes.
Mercaptan odorant is very effective, but small outdoor or crawlspace leaks can dissipate. Headaches, dizziness or nausea that clears when you leave home warrants a gas check. Florida utilities test for free — when in doubt, call.
