[01] Determining the Solution
We will meet with you on site to review the plans for your project and determine what is required to install the propane or natural gas infrastructure. Our team will review the capacity of the existing infrastructure and plans for appliances and uses, recommending solutions that will realize your vision.
This includes recommendations for appliances as well as piping infrastructure sizing. We will highlight any modifications required to remain within code and ensure the safe operation of your appliances. The findings will be detailed in a written report that includes our recommendations.

[02] Utility Coordination
Determining the status of existing natural gas utility infrastructure that connects a building to the mains can be time consuming — especially for projects that require relocation of your gas service or meter, or for locations that have been unoccupied. D&S can engage the utility with information about the project to ensure appropriate capacity, coordinate installation of the infrastructure, and location of the meter.
Realizing the timeline on these efforts is key to project success. D&S will be the liaison with the utility for your project to keep things on track.

Our team is licensed by the local code authority in all jurisdictions in which we operate.

[04] Installation
Our staff of licensed Journeyman and Master gas fitters are available to install the gas house-line piping for all your appliance needs. The staff is also qualified by the manufacturer to install specialty piping such as corrugated stainless steel (CSST), which is excellent for complicated installations or high-capacity appliances such as instant water heaters or fireplaces.
The result will be appropriate piping stubs with regulators, pressure tested and commissioned to code.
