What We Do
Full-Scope Gas Line Services for Homes and Businesses
Horizon Mechanical provides natural gas line installation and propane line services for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. From a single gas appliance connection in a Nanaimo kitchen to full gas infrastructure for a restaurant or commercial tenant improvement, our licensed technicians handle projects of every scale. We install gas lines for indoor appliances including ranges, dryers, and fireplaces, as well as outdoor lifestyle upgrades like patios and outdoor kitchens. Every installation is completed to Technical Safety BC standards and inspected to meet City of Nanaimo and regional municipality requirements. Our fully stocked trucks and commitment to showing up on time mean your project stays on schedule without surprises.
Why It Matters
Licensed Gas Work Is Not Optional
Gas line work carries real safety and legal weight. In British Columbia, all gas fitting must be performed by a TSBC licensed contractor. Unlicensed work can void your home insurance, fail municipal inspections, and create serious hazards for your family or tenants. Horizon Mechanical holds TSBC Gas Contractor License #LIC00214303, and every technician on our team is background-checked and fully insured. When we complete a gas line installation, you receive documented work that satisfies insurance requirements, passes engineering reviews, and holds up to City of Nanaimo inspections. For business owners in Ladysmith, Parksville, Chemainus, or Qualicum Beach, that compliance record matters just as much as it does for homeowners.
Outdoor and Commercial Applications
Gas Lines for Outdoor Kitchens, Patios, and Commercial Spaces
Beyond standard indoor connections, Horizon Mechanical specializes in outdoor gas services and commercial gas appliance connections across Central Vancouver Island. If you're building an outdoor kitchen or adding a gas fire feature to your patio in Nanoose Bay or Parksville, we'll run a dedicated line that's safe, clean, and built to last. On the commercial side, we work with restaurant owners and specialty retailers on tenant improvement projects that require precise gas hookups for high-use equipment. Our team understands the specific demands of commercial kitchens and the strict compliance timelines that come with tenant improvement projects. We keep communication clear throughout so contractors, business owners, and property managers always know where the job stands.

Common Questions
Gas Line Installation FAQs
Do I need a licensed contractor to install a gas line in BC?
Yes. In British Columbia, all gas fitting work must be performed by a contractor licensed through Technical Safety BC. Hiring an unlicensed individual to install or modify a gas line is illegal and can result in failed inspections, voided home insurance, and serious safety hazards. Horizon Mechanical holds TSBC Gas Contractor License #LIC00214303, meaning every gas line installation we complete is fully documented, inspected, and compliant with provincial and municipal requirements.What kinds of appliances or features can you run a gas line to?
Horizon Mechanical installs gas lines for a wide range of applications. On the residential side, this includes ranges, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, and outdoor features like patios and outdoor kitchens. For commercial clients, we handle gas hookups for restaurant equipment, commercial dryers, and other high-use appliances. If you have a specific appliance or project in mind, we can assess your existing infrastructure and provide a free quote for the work required.How long does a typical gas line installation take to complete?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project. A straightforward gas appliance connection for a single indoor unit can often be completed in a few hours. Larger projects, such as running a new line to an outdoor kitchen, installing gas infrastructure for a commercial tenant improvement, or extending service to multiple appliances, will take longer and may require a scheduled inspection by Technical Safety BC. Horizon Mechanical provides clear timelines upfront and keeps you informed throughout the process.Can you install a gas line for an outdoor kitchen or patio in the Nanaimo area?
Yes. Outdoor gas services are one of our specialties. Whether you're adding a gas barbecue connection, a fire table, or a full outdoor kitchen on your property in Nanaimo, Parksville, Nanoose Bay, or anywhere else in our service area, we can run a dedicated line safely and to code. Outdoor gas work requires the same TSBC licensing and inspection standards as indoor work, so it's important to use a qualified contractor rather than attempting a DIY connection.Do you handle gas line work for commercial tenant improvement projects?
Yes. Horizon Mechanical has specific experience with commercial tenant improvement projects, including gas installations for restaurants and specialty retail spaces. These projects often involve tight timelines and strict compliance requirements. Our team coordinates with general contractors and property managers to keep the job on schedule, and our work is completed to pass City of Nanaimo and engineering inspections on the first attempt, which matters significantly for business owners who can't afford delays.Which communities do you serve for gas line installation?
Horizon Mechanical serves a roughly 40-kilometre radius from Nanaimo, covering communities from Chemainus in the south to Qualicum and Qualicum Bay in the north. This includes Ladysmith, Nanoose Bay, Parksville, and Chemainus, among others. If you're unsure whether your location falls within our service area, give us a call and we'll confirm quickly. We provide free quotes for all gas line installation projects throughout Central Vancouver Island.Will the price change after the job starts, or is the quote final?
Horizon Mechanical operates on an honest, upfront pricing model with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Before any work begins, we provide a free quote based on the scope of the project. If something unexpected comes up during the job that affects the cost, we communicate that with you before proceeding. Our goal is that you always know what you're paying for and why, which is part of what separates us from contractors who give vague estimates and adjust the bill after the fact.
