Gas Line Services in Yorba Linda, CA

If you smell gas in a Yorba Linda home, get out first and then call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200. Repairs and new piping after the meter are plumber work, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Yorba Linda.

Who handles gas lines in Yorba Linda?

The City of Yorba Linda lists SoCalGas as its gas utility and gives the SoCalGas number for reporting leaks. SoCalGas owns the service line and meter and responds to odor calls. Past the meter, the piping that serves the furnace, water heater, range, dryer, fireplace and any outdoor appliances is the homeowner's, and that is where a plumber comes in. Yorba Linda is in northeastern Orange County, the one Orange County city we cover, but the arrangement is the same as in the Inland Empire towns nearby: SoCalGas up to the meter, a plumber after it.

What kind of gas work do Yorba Linda homes need?

The median home in the city was built around 1984, so many houses have original gas piping that is now about four decades old. That age brings a predictable list: valves that have not been turned in years and may not close, older flexible appliance connectors that should be replaced, and lines that were sized for the appliances of the 1980s. Remodels are a big driver of calls. A kitchen upgrade to a pro-style gas range, a new fireplace insert, or a switch to a tankless water heater can each need more gas than the original pipe delivers. On the eastern hillside lots, outdoor kitchens and fire features often mean longer runs along walls or terraces rather than a simple trench.

What does the permit process look like?

The City of Yorba Linda Building Division issues building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits from City Hall at 4845 Casa Loma Avenue, with application forms submitted at the counter. New gas piping and appliance additions generally go through permit, pressure test and inspection before the line is turned on. The plumber usually prepares the application and meets the inspector.

A local note

Yorba Linda borders Chino Hills State Park and has hillside areas where digging can turn up rock and irrigation lines. Call 811 before any trench so SoCalGas can mark its service line, and tell the plumber about private gas lines to a pool heater, barbecue or guest house. Strapping the water heater and keeping the main shutoff accessible are sensible earthquake preparations.

Gas Line Services questions in Yorba Linda

Should the old flexible connector behind my stove or dryer be replaced?

In a Yorba Linda home with original 1980s appliances or connectors, it is worth checking. Old, kinked or uncoated brass connectors should be replaced, ideally when the appliance is already pulled out.

Can gas be piped to a backyard grill, fire pit or pool heater?

Usually, if the meter and main run have capacity. On hillside lots the line may follow walls or terraces, and it is tested and inspected before use.

Does gas piping work here need a permit?

Generally. The Yorba Linda Building Division issues plumbing and mechanical permits at City Hall, and the plumber normally handles the application.

Can a gas line be extended to a standby generator?

Often. The plumber totals the generator and existing appliances, and SoCalGas may need to upgrade the meter if the combined load is too high.
