As detailed by Legacy Plumbing in their article “WHAT TYPE OF GAS LINE DO I HAVE?,” understanding your home’s gas line system is essential, especially for those in the North DFW area. It is crucial to know the materials and responsibilities associated with residential gas lines to ensure safety and efficiency.
In the North DFW area, homes often receive natural gas through providers like Coserv or Atmos. Natural gas is favored for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency, making gas water heaters, furnaces, and cooktops popular choices. However, maintaining a natural gas system can be intimidating, necessitating periodic service and understanding of its components.
The gas company is responsible for the gas distribution system up to the home’s gas meter. Homeowners are responsible for any gas lines beyond the meter. Typically, the gas meter is located in an alley or directly next to the house and is maintained by the gas company. If the meter is adjacent to the house, the gas company handles the line up to it. If the meter is further away, the homeowner must maintain the line running from the meter to the house.
There are various gas line solutions available that are designed to meet these responsibilities effectively. These products are engineered for durability and ease of installation, ensuring that homeowners can maintain their gas systems safely and efficiently. Understanding your gas line materials and knowing your responsibilities can alleviate any anxieties about gas system maintenance.
