We’ve been installing gas ranges in Manhattan since 1983. Bobby and his son Rob handle every job personally, bringing the kind of expertise that only comes from decades of working in the city’s unique buildings.
We’re not a big company that sends random technicians. When you call us, you get the same father-and-son team that Hudson Square residents have trusted for years.
Our license, insurance, and reputation speak for themselves. We know Manhattan’s building codes inside and out, and we know how to work in everything from pre-war walk-ups to modern luxury condos.
We start by assessing your existing gas line and determining what’s needed for your new range. Most installations require upgrading to 3/4-inch pipe to meet NYC code requirements for gas ranges.
If new gas line work is needed, we handle all the permits and coordinate with your building management. We run the line from your meter to the kitchen location, ensuring proper sizing and pressure for your specific range.
The actual installation involves connecting your range to the gas supply, testing all connections for leaks, and conducting a final safety inspection. We clean up completely and walk you through operating your new range safely.

Your gas range installation includes everything needed for safe, code-compliant operation. We provide proper gas line sizing, leak testing, and safety inspections that meet NYC Department of Buildings requirements.
Hudson Square’s mix of historic and modern buildings requires specific expertise. We handle everything from connecting ranges in century-old brownstones to installing high-end appliances in luxury condos with complex building requirements.
Every installation includes thorough testing, proper documentation for your building management, and a walkthrough of your range’s safety features. We also coordinate any required inspections and handle permit paperwork.
Yes, gas range installations in NYC typically require permits and inspections through the Department of Buildings. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our service.
The permit process ensures your installation meets safety codes and building requirements. We submit the necessary paperwork, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is properly documented for your building records.
Most installations also require approval from your building management or co-op board, especially in Hudson Square’s many converted buildings. We work with building supers and management companies to ensure smooth approval and scheduling.
Most gas range installations take 2-4 hours when connecting to existing gas lines. If new gas line work is needed, the project typically takes 1-2 days depending on the distance from your meter.
The timeline depends on your building’s layout and whether we need to run new lines through walls or floors. Pre-war buildings often require more time due to older infrastructure and tighter spaces.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most of our Hudson Square clients prefer morning installations so they can use their kitchen for dinner the same day.
NYC building code requires gas ranges to have dedicated 3/4-inch gas lines minimum. Many older apartments have smaller lines that need upgrading for proper gas flow and safety.
The exact sizing depends on your range’s BTU requirements and the distance from your gas meter. High-end ranges with multiple burners and large ovens typically need larger lines to ensure adequate gas pressure.
We calculate the proper sizing based on your specific range model and building layout. Undersized gas lines cause poor performance and can be dangerous, so we never cut corners on proper sizing.
Yes, we regularly install gas ranges in Hudson Square’s co-ops and condos. We’re familiar with the specific requirements and approval processes for buildings throughout the neighborhood.
Each building has different rules about contractor requirements, insurance, and scheduling. We provide all necessary documentation including certificates of insurance and contractor licenses that buildings require.
We coordinate directly with building management to schedule work during approved hours and ensure all installations meet building-specific requirements. Our experience with Hudson Square buildings streamlines the entire process.
Gas range installation typically costs $300-600 for basic hookup to existing lines. If new gas line work is needed, costs range from $800-1500 depending on the distance and complexity of the installation.
The total cost depends on your building’s layout, the condition of existing gas lines, and any permit or inspection fees. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Most Hudson Square installations fall in the middle of this range due to the neighborhood’s mix of building types. We often come in under our initial estimates because we work efficiently and don’t encounter unexpected complications.
Absolutely. Every installation includes comprehensive leak testing using electronic detection equipment and soapy water tests at all connection points. We also test gas pressure to ensure proper flow to your range.
Leak testing is required by NYC code and is critical for safety. We test immediately after installation and again after your range has been operating to ensure all connections remain secure.
We also show you how to check for leaks yourself and what to do if you ever smell gas. Safety education is part of every installation because your family’s safety is our top priority.
