Gas Line Services in Fayetteville, GA

What happens when you call

Calling the number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who does gas work in Fayetteville and the rest of Fayette County. They will ask about the appliance, whether the home is inside city limits, and whether AGL has already been out. If a leak was found and the meter locked, the plumber repairs and pressure tests the piping on your side so AGL can restore service.

For a new appliance, the plumber totals the demand of everything already on gas, checks the size of the line from the meter, and plans a branch with its own shutoff. That step is what keeps a furnace from starving when a new range or tankless heater fires at the same time.

Cost factors

• Run length and routing through attic, crawl space or slab
• Capacity of the existing trunk line
• Number of shutoffs, fittings and drip legs
• Outdoor or buried sections
• Permit and inspection

Fayetteville conditions

Fayetteville is the Fayette County seat, about 21 miles south of downtown Atlanta. Georgia 811 lists Atlanta Gas Light as the emergency gas operator for Fayette County, and the city has no gas department of its own. Residents buy gas from certificated marketers; AGL owns the pipes and takes leak calls.

The housing is fairly new. Census survey data put the median build year at 1999, with only about 9% of homes built before 1980. Many homes have flexible stainless tubing and two or more gas appliances on the same system, so the most common jobs are adding capacity, fixing a leaking fitting and checking that flexible tubing has its bonding wire to the electrical grounding.

Inside city limits, Fayetteville's Building & Inspections office, operated by SAFEbuilt, handles plan review, permits and inspections through BS&A Online. The page does not name gas permits specifically. Outside the city, Fayette County handles permits.

Before the plumber comes

• Know whether the address is inside city limits
• Clear the way to the meter, water heater and furnace
• Have the new appliance's spec sheet
• Note any AGL tag on the meter
• If you smell gas, leave and call before anything else

A short list of every gas appliance in the house, including fireplaces and outdoor grills, helps the plumber judge whether the existing pipe can carry one more.
