WE ARE HIRING!
Safe, code-correct gas lines for the appliances that keep your home running
A furnace, water heater, range, or fireplace is only as reliable as the gas line feeding it. Snipps Heating & Air Conditioning brings the same honest, no-upsell approach we've built since 1996 to gas line installation and repair across Montrose and the wider Western Slope, whether your home runs on natural gas or propane. From a suspected leak to running a new line for an appliance you're adding, we treat every gas job as a safety job first and a convenience job second.
What to watch for, and what to do if you smell gas
If you ever smell gas, a sulfur or rotten-egg odor, leave the house immediately, don't flip any switches, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance before calling anyone else. Beyond an active leak, a few situations that call for a professional look at your gas line:
A pilot light that won't stay lit
often points to inconsistent gas flow rather than the appliance itself.
An appliance that never quite reaches full output
a furnace or water heater running weak can be a line or pressure issue upstream.
Old black iron pipe showing rust or corrosion
common in the region's older homes and worth having checked before it becomes a leak.
Adding a new gas appliance
a range, generator, fireplace, or outdoor heater usually means running a new dedicated line.
Switching between propane and natural gas
common for homes converting fuel sources, and not something to attempt without a proper line and appliance conversion.
A careful process, because gas work leaves no room for guessing
Gas line work carries real safety stakes, so we treat the diagnosis and testing stages as seriously as the install itself. Here's what to expect:
We start with a free in-home consultation.
We talk through what appliances you're running or adding, and take a look at your current gas setup.
We inspect and pressure test the existing line.
This tells us whether you're dealing with a leak, a sizing issue, or aging pipe that needs replacing.
We plan the line to code.
Sizing, routing, and shutoff placement all get worked out before anything gets installed.
We install or repair the line.
Our technicians run or replace the piping and make the appliance connection cleanly.
We test before we call it done.
Every job gets a final leak and pressure check, and we confirm the connected appliance is running the way it should.

What Western Slope homeowners ask about gas line work
Is smelling gas always an emergency?
Treat it as one every time. Leave the house, avoid switches or open flames, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance before calling us or anyone else. Once the area is confirmed safe, we can come diagnose and fix the source.
How do I know if my gas line needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
It depends on the pipe material, its age, and where the problem is showing up. Old black iron pipe with corrosion often calls for replacement rather than a patch repair, and we'll walk you through which situation you're actually in.
Do you work with both natural gas and propane?
Yes. A lot of the Western Slope runs on propane rather than piped natural gas, and we install and repair lines for both.
Can you run a new line for an appliance I'm adding?
Yes, whether it's a gas range, fireplace, generator, or outdoor heater. We size and route the new line to code as part of the same visit where we look at your existing setup.
Will you need to shut off my gas during the work?
Is gas line work covered under warranty like your other services?
Yes, gas line installation and repair is backed by the same service and installation warranties we stand behind on every job.
