We’ve been installing gas ranges in Chelsea since 1983. We’ve seen this neighborhood transform from industrial warehouses to luxury condos and artist lofts. Through it all, we’ve been the plumbers Chelsea residents trust for gas work.
When you hire us, you get Bobby and his son Rob—not a rotating crew of strangers. We’re a family business that treats your home like our own. Every installation is done by licensed master plumbers who know NYC codes inside and out.
We understand Chelsea’s unique housing—from prewar co-ops to new high-rises. Your building’s quirks don’t surprise us. We’ve probably worked on one just like it.
First, we assess your existing gas line and kitchen setup. We check if your current connection can handle your new range or if we need to upgrade anything. No surprises—we tell you exactly what’s needed upfront.
Next, we handle any necessary permits with the Department of Buildings. NYC requires proper documentation for gas work, and we take care of all the paperwork. You don’t have to navigate city bureaucracy.
On installation day, we arrive with all the right tools and materials. We connect your new range to the gas line, test everything thoroughly for leaks, and make sure all safety systems work properly. Before we leave, we walk you through your new range’s features and answer any questions.

Our gas range installation includes complete safety testing and code compliance. We install proper shutoff valves, sediment traps, and flexible connectors that meet NYC fuel gas code requirements. Every connection gets tested with professional-grade equipment to ensure zero leaks.
Chelsea’s housing stock presents unique challenges. Many buildings have older gas lines that need evaluation before connecting new appliances. We assess your building’s gas pressure, pipe sizing, and ventilation requirements. If upgrades are needed, we handle everything from permits to final inspection.
We work with all range types—from basic models to professional-grade units that cost thousands. High-end ranges often require specific gas pressures and BTU ratings. We ensure your installation meets manufacturer specifications so your warranty stays valid and your range performs as designed.
Yes, NYC requires permits for gas appliance installations, and only licensed master plumbers can do the work. We handle all permit applications through the Department of Buildings’ DOB NOW system. This includes filing detailed plans and ensuring everything meets NYC Fuel Gas Code requirements.
The permit process protects you and your neighbors. Gas work that isn’t properly permitted can create safety hazards and problems when you sell your apartment. We make sure everything is documented correctly with the city.
Most installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your existing setup. If your gas line is already properly sized and positioned, we can usually complete the work in one visit. More complex situations—like upgrading gas lines or adding new shutoff valves—might require additional time.
We coordinate timing around your schedule and building requirements. Many Chelsea co-ops have specific hours for construction work. We work within those constraints to minimize disruption to you and your neighbors.
Absolutely. We’ve worked in Chelsea’s prewar buildings, converted industrial spaces, and historic co-ops for decades. Older buildings often have unique challenges—low gas pressure, undersized lines, or unusual configurations. We assess each situation individually and provide solutions that work.
Sometimes we need to upgrade gas lines to handle modern ranges with higher BTU requirements. We coordinate with building management and handle all necessary approvals. Our experience with older Manhattan buildings means we know how to work within existing infrastructure.
We provide complete installation from gas connection to final testing. This includes connecting the flexible gas line, installing proper shutoff valves, testing all connections for leaks, and ensuring your range operates safely. We also handle permit applications and coordinate any required inspections.
Before we start, we assess your existing gas line capacity and pressure. If upgrades are needed, we provide detailed estimates for that additional work. We never start a job without explaining exactly what’s included and what might cost extra.
Yes, we regularly install luxury brands like Wolf, Viking, and Thermador. High-end ranges often require specific gas pressures, larger connections, and precise installation to maintain warranties. We have experience with professional-grade equipment and understand their unique requirements.
Expensive ranges need careful handling during installation. We use proper lifting equipment and protective materials to prevent damage. Our team knows how to work with sensitive electronic controls and specialized features that come with luxury appliances.
Safety is our top priority with every gas installation. We test all connections with professional leak detection equipment—both electronic detectors and soap solutions. We check gas pressure at the appliance to ensure proper operation. Every installation includes proper sediment traps and shutoff valves as required by NYC code.
We also verify proper ventilation around the range and check that clearances meet manufacturer specifications. Before we consider the job complete, we test all burners and oven functions to ensure everything operates safely. You get a thorough walkthrough of safety features and emergency shutoff procedures.
