Switching from electric to gas range/dryer/water heater. Adding a gas grill outlet on the deck. Adding a gas fireplace. Re-piping an old galvanized or oversized system. Always licensed gas tech or plumber with gas endorsement — never a handyman.
Related questions
Do I need to call Columbia Gas before any gas work?
Yes — Columbia Gas needs to lock the meter before disconnect work and re-pressurize after. Your licensed pro coordinates this; you don't call Columbia Gas yourself.
Is CSST safe in Toledo's lightning-prone storms?
Yes if properly bonded. CSST has been blamed for lightning-strike fires in older installs without bonding. Code now requires direct-bond to the grounding system, and modern 'arc-resistant' CSST adds another layer. Confirm your installer bonds it.
