Do I need a gas permit in Kamloops?

Yes — any new gas line, appliance swap, or conversion in BC needs a Technical Safety BC permit, and a Class A or B gas fitter has to pull it. Licensed fitters handle the permit as part of the job.

How much does a gas line cost in Kamloops?

Running a new line for a BBQ or range typically runs $400–900 in Kamloops. Furnace or water-heater tie-ins are usually bundled into the HVAC/plumbing quote. Always confirm whether the permit fee is included.

What should I confirm before hiring?

Ask for the gas fitter's TSBC ticket class (A or B), WCB coverage, and whether they're pulling the permit. A written quote is standard for anything beyond a single appliance swap.
