Licensed Gas Installation Upper West Side
We’ve been installing gas ovens in Upper West Side homes since 1983. That’s over 40 years of navigating NYC’s complex permit requirements, building codes, and the unique challenges that come with Manhattan apartments and townhouses.
We’re not a big company with rotating technicians. When you call RB Mechanical, you get Bobby and his son Rob—the same family team that’s been earning trust in this neighborhood for decades.
Upper West Side residents know that gas work isn’t something you gamble with. The Department of Buildings requires Licensed Master Plumbers for a reason, and we’ve got the credentials and track record to prove we take that responsibility seriously.
Gas Oven Installation Process NYC
First, we handle the paperwork. NYC requires DOB permits for gas oven installation, and we take care of that entire process. You don’t need to figure out the bureaucracy—that’s our job.
Next comes the actual installation. We disconnect your old unit safely, run any necessary gas line extensions, and connect your new oven according to NYC Fuel Gas Code requirements. Every connection gets pressure tested.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. Your oven needs to light properly, maintain consistent temperatures, and pass our safety inspection. We don’t consider the job done until you’re cooking with complete confidence.

Complete Gas Oven Installation Package
Your gas oven installation includes permit handling, professional installation, pressure testing, and final safety inspection. We bring all necessary tools and materials, so you don’t need to worry about last-minute hardware store runs.
In Upper West Side’s older buildings, we often encounter unique challenges—from tight spaces to outdated gas lines. We’ve seen it all and know how to work within the constraints of pre-war apartments while meeting current safety standards.
The installation also includes cleanup and disposal of your old unit if needed. We’re not the type to leave you with a mess in your kitchen or an old oven sitting in your hallway for weeks.
Do I need a permit for gas oven installation in NYC?
Yes, NYC requires DOB permits for all gas appliance installations, and only Licensed Master Plumbers can perform this work legally. The Department of Buildings takes gas work seriously, especially after the incidents in Harlem and the Lower East Side in recent years.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including working with Licensed Professional Engineers when required. This isn’t optional paperwork—it’s a safety requirement that protects you and your neighbors.
Trying to skip permits or hiring unlicensed contractors can result in expensive problems later, especially if the work is discovered during a building inspection or sale.
How much does gas oven installation cost in Upper West Side?
Gas oven installation in NYC typically ranges from $563 to $1,648, depending on the complexity of your setup and whether you need additional gas line work. The wide range reflects the reality that every installation is different.
If you need new gas lines run, that adds $12 to $15 per linear foot. Older Upper West Side buildings sometimes require additional work to bring everything up to current code, which can affect the final cost.
We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or “unforeseen complications” that magically appear after we start working.
Can you install a gas oven in my pre-war apartment?
Absolutely. We’ve been working in pre-war Upper West Side buildings since 1983, so we know the quirks and challenges that come with these apartments. From narrow hallways to unusual gas line configurations, we’ve seen it all.
The key is proper planning and having the right experience. Pre-war buildings often have gas lines that need updating or extending, and the tight spaces require careful maneuvering of appliances.
We assess your specific situation during our initial consultation and let you know exactly what’s involved before we start any work. Most pre-war installations are completely straightforward once you know what you’re dealing with.
How long does gas oven installation take?
Most gas oven installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish, assuming we’re working with existing gas connections. If we need to run new gas lines or make significant modifications, it might take longer.
The permit process happens before installation day, so that doesn’t add to your time. We schedule the actual DOB inspection after installation, but you can start using your oven immediately once we complete our safety testing.
We work efficiently because we know you want your kitchen back. But we never rush safety checks or pressure testing—those steps take as long as they take to be done properly.
What happens if there's a problem with my gas line?
We identify potential gas line issues during our initial assessment, before any work begins. If your existing line needs repair or updating, we’ll let you know upfront so there are no surprises on installation day.
Common issues in Upper West Side buildings include undersized lines, corroded connections, or lines that don’t meet current code requirements. We can handle these repairs as part of your installation project.
If we discover a serious safety issue, we’ll shut off the gas immediately and explain your options. Safety always comes first, even if it means delaying your installation until the underlying problem is fixed properly.
Do you provide warranty on gas oven installation work?
Yes, all our installation work comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both labor and the installation components we provide. This covers everything from connection fittings to our workmanship.
If you have any issues with the installation itself—not the oven, but our work—we’ll return to fix it at no charge. We’ve been in business for over 40 years because we stand behind what we do.
The warranty doesn’t cover normal appliance maintenance or manufacturer defects with your oven itself, but it absolutely covers our installation work and any components we install as part of the project.
