Smell gas in your home? Need a new gas line for a stove, dryer, or outdoor grill? At A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating, we provide expert gas line repair, installation, and leak detection in Aurora, CO – with same-day response, permitted work, and licensed plumbers who prioritize your family’s safety above everything else.
⚠️ If you smell gas right now: Leave the building immediately. Do not turn any switches on or off. Call 911 and Xcel Energy (1-800-895-2999) from outside. Once you are safe, call us.
Aurora is served by Xcel Energy’s natural gas distribution network, which supplies residential and commercial properties across the city’s 153 square miles – from 1970s ranch homes in Mission Viejo with original black iron gas piping to new construction in Tallyn’s Reach equipped with corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). As Aurora’s housing stock ages and homeowners continue adding gas appliances, upgrading kitchens, and building outdoor entertainment spaces, the demand for licensed gas line work has grown steadily.
Gas line work is not a DIY project. Natural gas is odorless in its raw form – the mercaptan odorant added by Xcel is detectable by most people, but small leaks can go unnoticed for extended periods. A professional inspection, leak test, and permitted installation by a licensed Colorado plumbing contractor is the only safe and code-compliant way to address gas line work in Aurora.
At A Clear Choice, we handle gas line repairs, new installations, appliance hookups, and full system inspections – all with the permits, documentation, and licensed workmanship that Aurora building code requires.
Gas Smell Near Appliances or in the Basement : The most urgent call we receive. If you detect the rotten-egg odor of mercaptan near a stove, water heater, furnace, or at any point along a gas line in your Aurora home, treat it as an emergency. Small leaks at fittings, corroded joints, or cracked flexible connectors are the most frequent sources. We locate the leak with professional detection equipment, isolate the affected section, and repair or replace it to code.
CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing) Bonding Issues: Homes built or renovated from the 1990s onward often have CSST gas distribution. CSST requires proper electrical bonding to prevent arc-through damage from nearby lightning strikes, which can perforate the tubing. Many Aurora CSST installations lack proper bonding. We inspect and bond CSST systems to current Colorado code, eliminating this safety risk.
Outdoor Gas Line for BBQ Grills and Fire Pits One of the most popular requests from Aurora homeowners: running a permanent natural gas line to a backyard grill, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen. This eliminates propane tank refills and provides a consistent fuel supply for outdoor entertaining. We install buried gas lines to the outdoor connection point, install a dedicated shutoff, and pull the Aurora permit for the work.
Aging Black Iron Gas Pipe : Many Aurora homes built before the 1990s have black iron gas distribution piping throughout. While black iron is durable, its threaded joints are susceptible to corrosion - particularly in humid basement and crawl space environments. Over decades, joint compound deteriorates and fittings develop slow leaks. A system inspection and pressure test identifies problem sections before they become emergencies.
Appliance Hookup and Gas Line Extension Adding a gas range, gas dryer, gas fireplace insert, or tankless water heater to an Aurora home requires extending or adding a new gas supply line to the appliance location. We size the new line correctly for the appliance's BTU demand, install a dedicated shutoff valve, and pull the required permit so the work is inspected and documented.
Gas Line Pressure Problems Appliances that won't stay lit, produce a weak flame, or show ignition errors may be experiencing gas supply pressure issues rather than appliance failure. Low gas pressure can result from an undersized supply line, a failing pressure regulator, or a partially obstructed line - all diagnosable with a pressure gauge test.
Full Gas Line Replacement : When a home's original gas distribution system has reached the end of its service life - through widespread corrosion, multiple leak events, or a full kitchen or heating system renovation - we replace the entire distribution system with modern CSST or black iron piping, properly bonded and permitted throughout.

Leave the building immediately – do not turn any lights or switches on or off, do not use your phone inside, and do not attempt to find the leak yourself. Once outside and away from the building, call 911 and then Xcel Energy’s gas emergency line at 1-800-895-2999. After emergency services have cleared the building, call A Clear Choice and we will locate the leak, make the repair, and have the line retested and restored to safe operation.
Most gas line repair calls in Aurora run between $200 and $600. Common repairs include fitting and joint replacement ($200–$400), flexible connector replacement ($150–$300), shutoff valve replacement ($150–$300), and pressure regulator replacement ($200–$450). New gas line installations are priced per project after a free on-site assessment. We provide a complete upfront quote before any work begins.
New gas line installation costs in Aurora typically range from $300 to $2,000+ depending on the length of the run, the number of connections, whether trenching is required for an outdoor line, and permit fees. A single-appliance hookup from an existing supply line is at the lower end; a full outdoor kitchen gas line with trenching is at the higher end. We provide a detailed, itemized quote before any work starts.
Yes. All new gas line installation, replacement, and extension work in Aurora requires a building permit from Aurora’s Building Safety Division. Work must be inspected after completion. A Clear Choice pulls all required permits and schedules inspections as part of the job – you never need to handle the permit process yourself.
Yes. Adding a gas range, gas dryer, or gas fireplace insert to your Aurora home requires extending the existing gas supply line to the new appliance location, installing a dedicated shutoff valve, and connecting the flexible appliance connector. We handle the full installation, pull the required permit, and coordinate the inspection. Most single-appliance hookups are completed in a few hours.
CSST is a safe and widely used gas distribution material when it is properly installed and bonded. The risk in many Aurora homes is that older CSST installations lack proper electrical bonding, which is required to protect the tubing from arc-through damage in the event of a nearby lightning strike. We inspect CSST systems for bonding compliance and make the required bonding connections – a straightforward fix that eliminates the primary safety risk associated with CSST.
Replacement makes more sense than repeated repairs when the existing gas line is black iron pipe over 40 years old with multiple corroded sections, when a home is undergoing a full renovation that exposes the distribution system, when multiple leaks have been found at different locations on the same line, or when a CSST system requires full rebonding and the piping shows physical damage. We inspect and pressure-test the entire system before recommending replacement versus repair.
Yes – and it’s one of the most popular gas line requests we handle in Aurora.
