Gas grill installation: a guide for pros

What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.

Offering gas grill installation

You install gas grills, running or connecting gas lines, fitting shutoffs and regulators, and leak testing every joint before the grill goes into use. Customers trust you when the grill lights every burner and the gas work is documented.

What customers ask

  • Can you run a gas line to my built-in grill?
  • Do I need a permit for the gas line?
  • Will the grill work on propane and natural gas both?
  • How do you know there are no leaks?
  • Why is my grill not heating evenly after the install?

How to win the job

  • On the first call, ask for the grill model, the gas type, the distance from the gas source and a photo of the cabinet or patio.
  • Confirm the gas load and the line size against the grill's install guide before you order the pipe and fittings.
  • Pull the permit where one is needed, and keep the paperwork with the job file.
  • Run a leak test with a leak detection solution at every joint and show the customer the joints before you leave.
  • Light each burner and check the flame pattern on high and low, then tell the customer how to check it.
  • In the quote, list the gas line length and route, the regulator, the shutoff valve, the permit status and which licensed gas trade does the work.

What to put on your profile

  • Photos of finished built-in installs with clean gas runs and sealed joints
  • The grill brands and models you install, listed by name
  • Your gas licensing status and the areas where you work

Follow-up that helps the customer

  • Offer a leak check and a burner check after the first season
  • Suggest a regulator and hose check once a year on propane setups
  • Remind the customer to close the tank valve when the grill is not in use

Licenses and permits

Gas grill installation often requires a licensed gas trade for gas line work, depending on where you work, and some gas runs need a permit. Check state and local rules with your licensing agency before taking this work.

Questions

Do I need a gas license to install a grill?

Gas line work often requires a licensed gas trade, depending on where you live. Check with your state or local licensing agency and refer the gas run to a licensed trade if you are not licensed for it.
