You deserve to cook on a gas range that responds instantly to your touch. No more waiting for electric coils to heat up or cool down. No more uneven cooking that ruins expensive ingredients.
Professional gas stove installation transforms your kitchen into a space where cooking becomes effortless. Your new range heats immediately, adjusts precisely, and gives you the control that serious cooking demands.
When it’s done right by licensed professionals, you get years of reliable performance without safety concerns keeping you awake at night.
We’ve been installing gas appliances in Manhattan since 1983. Bobby and his son Rob handle every job personally – you’re not getting a random crew.
We’ve navigated NYC building codes, co-op board requirements, and tight Manhattan spaces for over 40 years. When Civic Center residents need gas work done right the first time, they call the team that actually shows up.
This isn’t about being the cheapest option. It’s about protecting your investment and your family’s safety with work that meets every code requirement.
First, we handle the paperwork. NYC requires a Limited Alteration Application (LAA) permit for gas stove installation – we file it and manage the entire process with the Department of Buildings.
Next comes the actual installation. We connect your new range to the existing gas line, install the proper connector, and test everything thoroughly for leaks. No shortcuts, no assumptions.
Finally, we schedule the mandatory inspection with the Department of Buildings. Once approved, you get your Gas Authorization and can start cooking immediately. The entire process typically takes 3-5 business days from permit to completion.

Every gas stove installation includes permit filing, professional gas line connection, safety testing, and inspection coordination. We also handle any necessary gas line modifications to accommodate your specific range requirements.
Civic Center’s mix of pre-war and modern buildings means each installation has unique challenges. Pre-war apartments often need gas line updates, while newer buildings may have specific ventilation requirements. We’ve handled both for decades.
You also get transparent pricing upfront – no surprise charges when the job’s half done. Most Civic Center installations are completed in one day once permits are approved, minimizing disruption to your routine.
Yes, NYC requires a Limited Alteration Application (LAA) permit for all gas stove installations. This isn’t optional – it’s city law.
The permit process involves filing paperwork with the Department of Buildings, scheduling an inspection, and getting final approval before your stove can be legally connected. We handle this entire process for you.
Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates serious problems later. Insurance claims can be denied, co-op boards can fine you, and you’ll eventually need to bring everything up to code anyway – usually at much higher cost.
The actual installation typically takes 3-4 hours once permits are approved. However, the complete process from permit filing to final inspection usually takes 3-5 business days.
NYC’s Department of Buildings needs time to review permit applications and schedule inspections. We coordinate all these appointments to minimize delays, but city bureaucracy has its own timeline.
If your building requires additional approvals from co-op boards or management companies, add another 1-2 weeks. We’ll let you know upfront if your building has special requirements that could extend the timeline.
Professional installation is required by law in NYC – DIY gas work isn’t legally permitted. Only licensed master plumbers can connect gas appliances in the city.
Beyond legal requirements, gas work is dangerous. Even small mistakes can create leaks that lead to explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. Professional installers have the tools and training to test connections properly and ensure your safety.
We also handle permits, inspections, and building code compliance. DIY installation leaves you responsible for navigating city bureaucracy, scheduling inspections, and fixing any code violations that inspectors find.
Yes, but older buildings often need gas line modifications or upgrades. Many pre-war Civic Center apartments have gas lines that weren’t designed for modern high-BTU ranges.
We assess your existing gas line capacity during our initial consultation. If upgrades are needed, we handle the additional permits and coordinate with your building’s superintendent.
Older buildings also have unique ventilation challenges. We ensure your new range has adequate air supply and exhaust capabilities, which might require additional work beyond basic installation.
When we handle the installation, failures are rare because we know exactly what inspectors look for. We test everything before the inspector arrives.
If something does need adjustment, we fix it immediately at no additional cost. Our work comes with a guarantee – if the city inspector finds problems with our installation, we correct them free of charge.
Most inspection failures happen with unlicensed work or DIY installations. Professional installers understand NYC’s specific requirements and have relationships with building inspectors that help ensure smooth approvals.
Installation costs typically range from $300-800 depending on your specific requirements. This includes permits, labor, materials, and inspection coordination.
Additional costs might apply if your gas line needs upgrades or if your building requires special equipment. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
While professional installation costs more than DIY, it’s required by law and protects your safety and investment. Insurance claims, building violations, and safety hazards from improper installation cost far more than doing it right the first time.
