A common question: can we just change the burner over when we move the grill or add a gas line? The short answer is that the conversion touches the gas system, so the gas side belongs to a licensed plumber. We handle the appliance side where it applies.
Why the Fuel Matters
Natural gas and propane reach the burner at different pressures, and the burner needs the right parts for each fuel. Using the wrong setup can give a flame that is too large, too weak, or that lifts off the burner. It can also leak at a connection that was never meant for that fuel.
Who Does What
- Licensed plumber: the gas line, the shutoff valve, the pressure and the new connection to the house or tank.
- Our technician: inspecting the burner, checking that parts match the fuel the manual calls for, and testing ignition and flame once the gas side is done.
- Electrician: an outdoor outlet or circuit that serves an ignition or light and trips repeatedly.
What We Cannot Tell From the Label Alone
Some older units were built for one fuel, and the label or manual tells you which. If the label is worn away or hard to read, we help identify what you have before anyone touches a connection. We never guess at parts for gas.
Before You Call Anyone
- Find the model label and take a clear photo.
- Note which fuel the unit uses now.
- Write down where the gas connection is and who installed it, if you know.
- Do not loosen any gas fitting yourself.
