You know that sinking feeling when you smell gas near your stove? You’ll never experience that with proper installation. When licensed master plumbers handle your gas stove installation, every connection is tested, every fitting verified, every safety protocol followed.
Your expensive gas range deserves installation that matches its quality. You get consistent performance, reliable ignition, and the confidence that comes from code-compliant work. No cutting corners, no “good enough” shortcuts.
The difference shows immediately. Smooth operation from day one. No callbacks for leaks or adjustments. Just professional gas stove installation that works exactly as it should.
When you call RB Mechanical, you get Bobby and his son Rob. Not a rotating crew of subcontractors. The same licensed master plumbers who’ve been installing gas appliances in Manhattan for over 40 years.
We’ve worked in every type of Nolita building. Pre-war walkups with their quirky gas lines. Modern condos with strict co-op boards. Converted lofts that need creative solutions. Each presents different challenges, but the approach stays the same: careful work, honest pricing, clean results.
You’re not just another appointment to us. We’re building relationships with people who appreciate quality work done right the first time.
We start by examining your current gas line setup and the space where your new stove will go. You’ll know upfront if permits are needed, what building approvals might be required, and exactly what the installation involves. No guessing.
The actual gas stove installation happens methodically. We protect your counters and floors, make precise connections, and test everything twice. Each joint gets checked for leaks using professional equipment. We don’t rely on soap bubbles and hope.
Before we leave, your gas stove gets a complete operational test. Every burner, the oven, any special features. We walk through the controls with you and provide all documentation your building might need for their records.

Your gas range installation includes everything needed for safe, legal operation. Professional-grade leak testing, code-compliant connections, proper documentation, and coordination with building management when required.
Nolita’s buildings each have personalities. That 1920s co-op might need pressure regulation. The converted warehouse could require line extensions. The new condo probably has strict alteration procedures. We handle these variables so you don’t have to become an expert in gas installation requirements.
Most importantly, you get our commitment to protecting your investment. We treat your kitchen like our own, work cleanly, and fix any damage we cause. Your gas stove installation should improve your space, not create new problems.
Because NYC law requires it, and because gas work done wrong can kill people. This isn’t being dramatic – improper gas connections cause fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning every year.
Licensed master plumbers have the training, tools, and legal authority to work on gas systems safely. We understand pressure requirements, proper fittings, and testing procedures. Most importantly, we carry insurance that protects you if something goes wrong.
Those cheap installation services from appliance stores? Often unlicensed handymen who shouldn’t be touching gas lines. Save money somewhere else, not on gas safety in your home.
Expect to pay between $1,200 and $2,200 for professional gas stove installation, depending on your specific situation. Simple hookups to existing lines cost less. Complex installations requiring permits or gas line modifications cost more.
Nolita’s older buildings sometimes need additional work. Gas line pressure might need adjustment for modern appliances. Fittings might need upgrading to current codes. We explain all costs upfront so you can make informed decisions.
Here’s something different about our family business: we often finish jobs for less than our estimate. We’re not trying to squeeze every dollar out of every project. We’d rather build long-term relationships with satisfied customers.
Usually yes, especially if any gas line work is involved. NYC requires permits for most gas appliance installations, with fees ranging from $50 to $300 depending on complexity.
Your building adds another layer. Co-ops and condos typically require alteration agreements, insurance certificates, and advance approval. Some need engineering reviews or board meetings. These processes can take weeks if not handled properly.
We manage all permit applications and building requirements as part of our service. You shouldn’t have to become an expert in NYC bureaucracy just to get your stove installed safely.
Absolutely. We’ve been working in pre-war Manhattan buildings since 1983. Those beautiful old structures built character over decades – they also developed quirks that require experience to navigate safely.
Older gas lines might need pressure adjustments for modern appliances. Original fittings might not accommodate contemporary connections. Some buildings have unusual routing that requires creative solutions. We’ve seen it all and know how to handle these challenges.
The key is thorough assessment before starting work. We examine your existing gas infrastructure, test pressures, and explain any necessary modifications. No surprises halfway through the installation.
Most installations complete in 2-4 hours when existing gas lines are adequate. We work efficiently but never rush safety procedures. Every connection gets proper testing regardless of time pressure.
Complex projects requiring gas line extensions or building coordination take longer. Some need multiple visits to accommodate permit inspections or building schedules. We coordinate these logistics to minimize disruption to your routine.
You’ll get realistic timeframes during our initial assessment. We’d rather set proper expectations than promise quick turnarounds that compromise quality or safety.
Yes, we work with Nolita’s co-ops, condos, and rental buildings regularly. After 40+ years in Manhattan, we understand alteration agreements, insurance requirements, and building-specific procedures.
Each building has its own personality. Some require advance notice and specific work hours. Others need engineering reviews or board approvals. Many want detailed insurance documentation and cleanup protocols. We handle these requirements routinely.
Our experience with building management companies throughout Manhattan helps avoid delays and ensures smooth project completion. You focus on choosing your perfect gas range – we handle the bureaucracy.
