Gas Line Services in Newnan, GA

Red flags in a gas system

• The odor of rotten eggs. Leave first; diagnosing comes later.
• Hissing at the meter or at a valve inside the house
• A furnace or water heater flame that looks ragged, tall and orange
• Scorch marks on the wall or ceiling around an appliance vent
• A dryer or range that lights slowly or not at all
• Unexplained increases on your gas bill

A smell is the one sign that means leave now. The rest point to a plumber visit before a minor leak grows.

Gas in Newnan

Newnan is the Coweta County seat, about 34 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta. Newnan Utilities runs water and power, but it does not appear to operate a gas system; Atlanta Gas Light is the pipe utility and lists a Newnan regional office. Customers buy their gas from a certificated marketer, and the marketer's name is what shows on the bill. Leak calls still go to AGL.

The housing stock is newer than many places this far out. Census survey data put Newnan's median build year at 2004, with about 23% of homes built before 1980. That splits the work roughly in two: the antebellum and early 1900s houses near downtown can have old black iron runs with decades of add-ons, while subdivisions built in the 2000s often use flexible tubing that needs a bonding wire to the electrical grounding.

Inside city limits, the City of Newnan Building Department on the second floor of City Hall, 25 LaGrange Street, administers the plumbing code and issues permits. Homes with a Newnan address outside the city fall under Coweta County instead.

Pricing depends on

• Pipe length and how many walls or floors it has to pass through
• Whether the existing piping can feed another appliance at full demand
• Material: black iron, flexible tubing or a mix
• Outdoor trenching for a grill, generator or detached building
• Permit and inspection requirements for the job

How it works when you call

The number on this page connects you to an independent plumber who handles gas piping in the Newnan area. They will ask about the appliance, where the meter is, and whether the home is inside the city. If AGL has already shut off a leaking section, mention that too, since the line will need repair and a test before service is restored.
