Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a natural gas BBQ hookup cost in Ontario?
A typical natural gas BBQ line with a quick-disconnect runs about $450 to $1,000+ installed, assuming a reasonable run from the meter along the exterior wall. Longer or underground runs cost more. These are averages — if a line and valve are already in place, it can be less.
Can I convert my propane BBQ to natural gas?
Only if the manufacturer offers an approved conversion kit for your model. The orifices and regulator are different, so it must be converted with the correct kit — never by just swapping the hose.
Can I hook up my own natural gas BBQ?
No. In Ontario, natural gas piping must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, and every new line is pressure-tested and tagged.
How long does a BBQ gas line install take?
Most straightforward BBQ lines are done in a few hours, start to finish.
