Cook on Gas All Season Without Ever Touching a Propane Tank Again
A dedicated natural gas line to your BBQ changes the way you use your outdoor space. No propane tanks to refill, no running out of gas halfway through a cookout, no lugging cylinders back and forth to the exchange. You turn the valve, ignite the burner, and cook. The convenience alone is worth it for most homeowners who use their BBQ regularly through the Ontario summer. But a gas line installation is not a job you route yourself or hand off to someone without the right certification. In Ontario any gas line work must be performed by a TSSA certified technician. GHQ Mechanical handles BBQ gas line installations from the connection point at your home’s main gas supply all the way to the exterior shutoff and quick-connect fitting at your grill location. Every joint tested, every fitting verified, and all setup done to Ontario gas code.

Why Homeowners Make the Switch From Propane to Natural Gas
Most BBQs sold in Canada come configured for propane out of the box. Natural gas conversion requires either a conversion kit or a natural-gas-ready model, but for homeowners who grill regularly the switch pays for itself in a single season.
Cost Per Cook:
- Natural gas is significantly cheaper per unit of heat output than propane at current Ontario rates
- A household that grills three to four times per week through a six-month season will recover the installation cost through fuel savings within one to two seasons depending on usage volume
- No deposit on propane tanks, no exchange fees, and no price fluctuations at the point of refill
Convenience:
- An uninterrupted gas supply means you never run out mid-cook regardless of how long the grill runs
- No scheduling refill trips or keeping a spare tank on hand as backup
- The BBQ is always ready to use without checking the tank gauge first
Performance:
- Natural gas burns cleaner than propane with slightly lower heat output per cubic foot
- Most natural gas BBQs and conversion kits compensate for the BTU difference through adjusted orifice sizing
- Consistent gas pressure from the supply line produces more stable burner performance than a tank that drops in pressure as it empties
Environmental:
- Natural gas produces less emissions per unit of heat than propane
- No empty cylinder disposal or transportation involved

Does Your BBQ Need to Be Converted for Natural Gas
Most BBQs sold in Canada are configured for propane as the default fuel. Before a natural gas line can be connected, the grill needs to be properly set up for natural gas use. There are two ways this is typically handled.
Manufacturer Conversion Kits
- Replace propane orifices with natural gas-compatible components
- Designed specifically for approved grill models
- Help ensure safe and efficient operation
Natural Gas Ready Models
- Some grills are built for both propane and natural gas use
- Typically require a simple conversion kit and proper gas connection
Important Safety Considerations
- Never connect a propane-configured BBQ directly to a natural gas line
- Natural gas and propane operate at different pressures and require different components
- Unapproved conversions can invalidate warranties and create safety risks
We assess your grill model, verify conversion compatibility, and ensure the correct setup for safe, reliable operation.

What Affects the Cost and Complexity of a BBQ Gas Line Installation
Every BBQ gas line installation is different. The factors that affect the scope and cost of the job are simple and we walk through all of them during the initial assessment.
Distance from the Gas Supply
- Longer gas line runs require more materials and labour
- Proper pipe sizing is essential to maintain gas pressure
Routing Path
- Straight exterior runs are typically the simplest and most cost-effective
- Routing around obstacles, through walls, or under decks increases installation complexity
Existing Gas Capacity
- Most homes can accommodate a BBQ connection without upgrades
- Homes with multiple gas appliances may require a capacity assessment
Deck & Outdoor Structure Requirements
- Gas lines installed under or through decks must meet clearance and protection requirements
- Proper support and code-compliant installation are important for long-term safety
We assess your property and recommend the safest, most practical routing option before installation begins.

Why BBQ Gas Line Work Must Be Done by a Certified Technician
Ontario’s Technical Standards and Safety Authority requires that all gas line installation work including new branch lines, extensions, and appliance connections be performed by a TSSA certified gas technician. This is a legal requirement that applies to residential BBQ gas line installations the same way it applies to furnace or water heater connections.
Proper gas line installation is vital for safety, performance, and durable reliability.
- Small gas leaks can go unnoticed outdoors where gas disperses quickly.
- Lines that are not pressure tested may develop leaks over time because of temperature changes and settling.
- Poorly supported gas lines are more vulnerable to damage from weather, landscaping, and everyday use.
- Incorrect BBQ connections may result in incomplete combustion, carbon buildup, and fire hazards.
Every GHQ Mechanical gas line installation includes a complete pressure test and leak inspection on every joint and fitting before the system is approved for use.
