Connecting your gas range to an existing supply line can be a fairly simple process, however all safety checks and inspections must be taken both during the connection and after installation to ensure the range starts up safely and properly.
Older gas supply lines were often run in copper which typically has a smaller inside diameter than iron or CSST. They may not meet the demands of the new higher output ranges .
Did you know that it is the installer’s responsibility to provide you with a brief overview of what to expect when using your new range?
Our gas range installation services include the following:
Any time you use your range or cooktop you will smell a little bit of gas. The reason for this is the source of ignition is on one side of the burner. Until the gas ignites and the flame works itself around the burner, there will always be un-combusted gas escaping to the room. This is what you would be smelling. For this reason, it is mandatory that an over the range exhaust fan is installed. It has to be vented to the outdoors.
If you have not recently used your gas appliance and are smelling gas, please contact Enbridge and follow the protocols they have listed on their site.
Absolutely! It is important that you use your exhaust fan when cooking with your gas range. The exhaust fan removes both the heat and the byproducts of combustion including carbon monoxide from your kitchen.
