Gas lines
Natural gas and LP-gas piping for appliances and standby generators, installed and tested by licensed professionals.
Gas lines: an overview
Gas piping feeds ranges, water heaters, furnaces, dryers, outdoor kitchens and standby generators. It has to be sized for the total demand of everything connected to it and installed with the right materials, valves and testing.
Kelm handles new gas lines, extensions for new appliances and repairs on existing piping. For homes on propane, Clint Kelm holds an RRC LP-Gas plumber exemption in addition to his Master Plumber license (RMPL #41051).
Gas lines for standby generators are a large part of our work, since Kelm Power Systems installs Generac and Kohler home standby generators. Generators can draw a lot of fuel, so these lines are sized carefully.
