Gas Line Installation for Dryers in Utah

Adding a gas dryer, moving a laundry area, or converting from an electric dryer may require a new gas line or an extension from an existing gas piping system. GasLineInstallationUtah.com helps Utah homeowners and property managers request quotes for dryer gas line installation, replacement, and related piping work.

A dryer gas line should be planned around the appliance input, the capacity of the existing gas system, the route to the laundry area, shutoff requirements, and any local permit or inspection requirements that apply to the project.

For planned and non-emergency gas line work. There's no charge to send a request.

Adding a Gas Line for a Dryer

If a laundry area does not already have a suitable gas connection, the project may require a new branch line from an existing gas system or a longer run from another part of the property. The routing and scope depend heavily on the layout of the home.

  • Electric-to-gas dryer conversions
  • New gas dryer installation
  • Laundry room relocations
  • Replacing or rerouting an existing dryer gas line
  • Adding an accessible appliance shutoff
  • Evaluating whether the existing gas system can support the added load

Electric to Gas Dryer Conversion

Converting from an electric dryer to a gas model requires an appropriate gas supply at the appliance location. The existing system should be checked to confirm there is sufficient capacity for the additional appliance and that the proposed route is practical.

Access can make a major difference. A laundry area above an unfinished basement or next to accessible utility space may be easier to serve than one that requires routing through finished walls, ceilings, or multiple floors.

Can an Existing Gas Line Be Extended to a Dryer?

Sometimes. An existing branch may be extendable if the pipe size and total system capacity are adequate for the added demand. Distance, connected appliances, pipe sizing, and the existing layout should be evaluated before adding another connection.

If the existing line is undersized, damaged, or poorly routed, a new branch or partial replacement may be more appropriate than simply extending the nearest line.

Replacing an Existing Dryer Gas Line

An existing dryer gas line may need replacement when a laundry room is relocated, the piping is damaged, the connection no longer suits the appliance, or a remodel changes the route. Replacement can also address access or capacity issues discovered during the project.

For broader piping problems, see our gas line replacement in Utah page. For localized issues, see gas line repair in Utah.

What Affects the Cost to Install a Dryer Gas Line?

Dryer gas line installation cost depends on the distance from the existing gas system, pipe size, accessibility, materials, wall or floor access, whether the laundry area is being moved, and any permitting, testing, or inspection requirements.

A short run in an unfinished utility area is a different project from routing new gas piping through a finished home. A project-specific quote is therefore more useful than a generic per-foot estimate.

What Information Helps With a Dryer Gas Line Quote?

  • Property ZIP code
  • Whether the property already has natural gas service
  • Whether a gas line already exists near the laundry area
  • Dryer model or fuel-input information, if available
  • Whether the laundry area is staying in place or being relocated
  • Approximate location of accessible gas piping
  • Photos of the laundry area and nearby utility spaces, if available

Request a Dryer Gas Line Installation Quote

Provide the property location, whether natural gas is already present, and whether the dryer is replacing an existing gas appliance or converting from electric. Appliance details and photos can help clarify the likely scope.

The request form is just below.

Before you request a quote

Permits and inspections. Gas piping work usually needs a permit from your city or county building department. That includes new lines, extensions, and many appliance installations and replacements. New piping is pressure-tested and inspected before gas is turned on. Requirements vary by city. Ask the provider who will get the permit and schedule inspections, and get the scope and price in writing before work starts.

Checking the provider. Companies that do gas piping work for pay in Utah need a contractor license from the Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) that covers the work. The person doing gas appliance or gas piping work must also hold a Utah natural gas technician certification (such as the RMGA certification) or a qualifying Utah plumber license, and must carry proof of it. Ask for the contractor license number and check it at secure.utah.gov/llv, and ask the technician to show their certification.

Smell gas? Leave the area now. From a safe place, call 911 and Enbridge Gas Utah at 1-800-767-1689. Don't use this form to report a gas leak.

If your natural gas comes from a different utility, or you use propane, call that company's emergency number instead.

Do you smell gas or suspect a gas leak right now? (required)

If you do, this form can't help. Leave the area first.

Leave the area first — this form can't help with a gas emergency

Natural gas has no smell of its own. An odorant is added so a leak smells like rotten eggs. Other warning signs are:

  • a hissing, whistling or roaring sound near a gas line or appliance;
  • a damaged appliance connection;
  • dead or discolored plants over a buried line;
  • dirt blowing into the air;
  • bubbles rising in standing water.

Do this now

  1. Leave the building or area right away, and warn others to stay away.
  2. From a safe place, call 911 and Enbridge Gas Utah's 24-hour emergency line, 1-800-767-1689. Don't assume someone else has called. A gas leak can't be reported online, and this website can't respond to emergencies.

Don't

  • Don't turn lights, appliances or any electric switch on or off.
  • Don't use a phone, garage door opener or flashlight near the leak.
  • Don't smoke, strike a match or use a lighter.
  • Don't start or stop vehicles or machinery nearby.
  • Don't try to turn gas valves on or off.
  • If leaking gas is on fire, call 911. Don't try to put it out.

If your natural gas comes from a different utility, or you use propane, call that company's emergency number instead.

Everything here is optional — answer what you know.

A rough guess is fine. Pacing it off works.

Where would the gas line run? (optional, choose any)
Before anyone digs. Utah law requires contacting Blue Stakes of Utah 811 before excavating. Dial 811 or go to bluestakes.org. Blue Stakes suggests submitting your request at least three business days ahead. Utilities mark only the lines they own, which usually stop at the meter. Gas lines, irrigation and lighting cables you own beyond the meter usually won't be marked, so tell the installer about any private lines you know of and ask whether a private locator is needed. If a gas line is hit while digging, leave the area and call 911 and Enbridge Gas Utah at 1-800-767-1689 from a safe place.
Does the property already have natural gas service? (optional)

In almost all cases the gas utility's system ends at the meter; piping after the meter belongs to the property owner.

Is the gas shut off right now? (optional)

Please don't include passwords, payment details or ID numbers.

Photos (optional)

Photos help the provider size the job. Only take photos where it's safe — never near a suspected leak. Don't include gas bills, account numbers or people in photos. JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC, up to 10 MB each, 6 photos in total.

Photos are shared with the provider that receives your request. Phone photos can include the location where they were taken.

Dryer Gas Line FAQs

Who installs gas lines for dryers?

Gas piping should be installed by a qualified professional who is authorized to perform the work required for the property and jurisdiction. Licensing, permitting, and inspection requirements depend on the location and project scope.

Can I convert an electric dryer to gas?

Potentially, if the property has a suitable gas supply and the system can support the additional appliance. The route, pipe sizing, appliance specifications, and local requirements should be evaluated before the conversion.

Can a dryer share an existing gas line?

An existing gas system may be able to support an additional dryer connection, but that should not be assumed. Pipe sizing, total connected load, distance, and the existing configuration should be checked first.

How long does it take to add a gas line for a dryer?

Timing depends on distance, access, the existing gas system, and any permit or inspection requirements. A short accessible run can be much simpler than routing piping through finished areas of a home.
