Natural Gas: Efficient, Versatile Power for Your Home

Schedule a Gas Line Consultation

Natural gas – more than heat for your home

Natural gas does more than heat your home. It fuels cooking, water heating, clothes drying, fireplaces, outdoor grills, and more, all with exceptional efficiency. It’s one of the most affordable and reliable energy sources available, making it a smart upgrade for homeowners throughout the Portland and Vancouver metro areas.

Benefits of Adding Natural Gas to Your Home

Thinking about installing a new gas line or adding gas appliances? Here are the biggest advantages:

Greater Convenience

Natural gas furnaces distribute heat more evenly, creating consistent comfort throughout your home. Gas water heaters heat water up to 40% faster than electric models, cutting wait times and improving efficiency.

More Comfort, Faster

Gas heating delivers warm air quickly and produces higher temperature output than electric heat. A sealed gas fireplace also warms a room much faster than a traditional wood-burning fireplace.

Increased Home Value

High-efficiency gas appliances can lower utility costs and add long-term value – features today’s homebuyers actively look for.

When to Add or Convert a Gas Line

If you’re installing a new gas appliance or upgrading existing equipment, you may need a new or modified gas line. Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning handles the full scope of gas piping services – from simple gas line relocations to full system conversions.


Here’s how our Jacobs team can help:

Convert to Natural Gas

Thinking about switching your furnace to gas? We can convert your existing unit for better efficiency and lower operating costs.

Convert from Propane

If your grill, fire pit, or furnace currently runs on propane, our team can convert it to natural gas for a cleaner, more affordable fuel source.

Add or Upgrade Safety Features

Need a repair? Want an earthquake shut-off valve installed? We provide essential safety upgrades to protect your home and family.

Relocate or Resize an Existing Gas Line

Remodeling or adding new appliances? We can relocate or resize your current gas line to ensure proper flow, capacity, and safety.

Hassle-Free Grilling with a Natural Gas Line

Love grilling? Converting your propane grill to natural gas eliminates many of the frustrations that come with propane tanks.

Top benefits include:

  • Never running out of fuel mid-BBQ
  • Lower fuel costs compared to propane
  • No more transporting heavy tanks
  • Better environmental impact

Be Earthquake Ready with a Gas Shut-Off Valve

In the Pacific Northwest, preparing for “The Big One” has been the talk of the town for years. Natural gas is flammable and toxic in enclosed spaces, and even a small spark may ignite a leak during or after an earthquake. An automatic earthquake shut-off valve protects your home by stopping the flow of gas when seismic activity hits a certain magnitude. It lowers the risk of fire or explosion and gives you confidence that your home is better prepared.

Trouble-Free Gas Line Alterations

If you are adding new appliances or upgrading your home, you may need to move or modify your gas line. These projects are not DIY tasks because proper sizing, material choices, permits, and leak testing all affect your home’s safety. Our team keeps the process simple by reviewing your existing line, confirming capacity for new appliances, handling the permits, and completing the reroute or installation. Once the work is done, we perform thorough leak and pressure checks so your system is safe and ready to use.

How Adding a Gas Line Works

Whether you’re installing a new line or extending an existing system, our professionals handle the entire process:

  • Secure required permits
  • Locate your existing gas lines
  • Size new lines correctly
  • Select the right piping materials
  • Extend or reroute the gas pipe
  • Install necessary valves
  • Perform full leak testing and system checks

Jacobs guides you through every step so you feel confident your system is safe, efficient, and built to last.
