Gas Line Services in Douglasville, GA

Which gas utility do I call in Douglasville?

The one on your bill. The Austell Gas System, a municipal utility owned by the City of Austell, lists Douglasville as a served city and says it covers parts of it. Whether other parts are on Atlanta Gas Light was not confirmed, so keep both numbers handy:

• Austell Gas System: 770-948-1841, option 1
• Atlanta Gas Light: 877.427.4321

In either case, leave the house first and call 911 from a safe place.

What gas work is common in Douglasville homes?

Douglasville is the Douglas County seat, with a National Register historic downtown and mostly 1990s and 2000s growth along I-20. Census survey data put the median build year at 2001, with about 21% of homes built before 1980. Newer houses usually have flexible stainless tubing, which needs a bonding wire to the electrical grounding; older homes near downtown may have black iron pipe extended over time. Typical jobs are new range and dryer lines, upsizing for tankless water heaters, generator hookups and leak repairs at fittings.

Can a homeowner pull a permit in Douglasville?

For some work, yes. The City of Douglasville's Building Division takes plumbing permit applications through its BS&A online portal, and lists water heater replacements among the permits homeowners can pull themselves. For gas piping changes, most people have the plumber pull the permit, since the pressure test and inspection are part of the job. Addresses outside city limits go to Douglas County.

A local note

If a meter has to be upgraded for a generator or a tankless heater, that work belongs to your gas utility, whether Austell Gas or AGL. The plumber coordinates it and handles everything on the house side.

When you call the number on this page, an independent plumber who works around Douglasville will ask which utility is on your bill, what appliance is involved and whether the meter has been locked after a leak call. If it has, the plumber finds and repairs the leak on your side, pressure tests the piping, and the utility restores service. For new work, the plumber totals the load of every gas appliance in the house before sizing the new branch, so the furnace and water heater are not starved when everything runs on a cold morning.
