We’ve been serving Upper West Side residents for over 40 years at RB Mechanical Plumbing and Heating. We’re a third-generation family-owned business that understands what NYC homeowners need—reliable service from people who actually live and work in these neighborhoods.
Our team knows the ins and outs of Manhattan’s older buildings, the permit requirements, and the unique challenges that come with gas installations in NYC. We’re fully licensed, insured, and our technicians are drug-tested and vetted.
When you call us, you’re getting Bobby and his son Rob—not a rotating cast of subcontractors. That’s how we’ve built lasting relationships in communities like the Upper West Side over four decades.
We start with an assessment of your existing gas line and electrical setup. If you need permits for the installation, we handle that paperwork with the Department of Buildings—no headaches for you.
Next, we safely disconnect your old range if you have one, and prepare the space for your new appliance. We check gas pressure, test all connections, and ensure proper clearances according to NYC code requirements.
Finally, we connect your new gas range, test all burners and the oven, and walk you through the operation. We don’t leave until everything works perfectly and you’re comfortable with your new appliance. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’re cooking that same day.

Most gas range installations take 2-4 hours once we’re on site, assuming your gas line and electrical connections are already in place and properly sized.

The cost and timeline depend on the extent of the upgrade, but we’ll give you a detailed estimate upfront so there are no surprises. Most gas line upgrades can be completed in the same visit as the range installation.
