What a gas line installation costs in Vancouver
Running a new gas line in Metro Vancouver typically costs $500–$2,500 for most residential jobs. A short run to a range or dryer near the existing supply sits at the bottom of that; a long run to a detached patio or a line upgrade for a tankless heater sits at the top or above.
These are market ranges for Metro Vancouver, not a quote. They’re here so you can plan and compare, and they’re reviewed quarterly.
What it costs
What decides where in the range you land
The single biggest factor — it's mostly pipe and labour.
A run through an open basement ceiling is cheap. Through finished walls, under a floor, or across a concrete patio is not.
A tankless water heater or a high-input appliance may need a larger line than your existing supply, which sometimes means upgrading back to the meter.
Adding appliances can exceed the meter's capacity, which means involving FortisBC.
Exterior runs need appropriate materials and burial depth where underground.
