Natural gas vs propane — which is better for a fire pit?
Natural gas connects directly to your home’s supply through a permanent underground line — unlimited fuel, no tanks to swap. Propane uses a portable LP tank, offering more placement flexibility but requiring monitoring and refills. For most homeowners with natural gas access, a permanently plumbed fire pit is the more convenient and cost-effective long-term choice.
Can a gas fire pit be installed on a wood deck?
Yes — certain fire pit designs are rated for use on combustible surfaces. Our technicians will verify the specific clearance requirements and ensure the installation meets all manufacturer specifications and local code requirements to protect your deck and home.
How much does it cost to run a gas line to a fire pit?
Cost depends on the distance from the gas meter to the fire pit location, the terrain involved (trenching through a patio or landscaping, for example), and local permit fees. AEI ProGas provides transparent, upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to install a gas fire pit?
In most cases, yes. Installing a new gas line to an outdoor fire pit requires a permit and a final inspection by a local building official. AEI ProGas manages the entire permitting process on your behalf, ensuring all work is fully compliant with local codes.
Can the fire pit share a gas line with my outdoor grill?
Yes — multiple outdoor gas appliances can be supplied from a single line, provided the pipe is correctly sized to handle the combined BTU demand. Our technicians calculate the right pipe sizing to ensure consistent pressure and full performance across all your outdoor gas features.
Is a gas fire pit safe under a pergola or covered patio?
Vented outdoor spaces like pergolas or covered patios can accommodate gas fire pits, but specific overhead clearance requirements must be met. Enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces are not appropriate. Our team will assess your specific outdoor setup and recommend the safest and most suitable installation approach.
