Smell Gas? Dryer Won’t Light? DIY Hookups Aren’t Worth the Risk.
You just want clean, dry clothes — not a potential gas leak behind your laundry room wall. A loose connection, wrong connector, or missing shutoff can put your home and family at risk. That’s why gas dryer hookups are one job better left to pros.
- DIY hookups can leave small leaks you can’t see — but your gas detector can.
- Incorrect venting can trap moisture, lint, and exhaust where it doesn’t belong.
- Out-of-date or missing shutoff valves make future repairs harder and less safe.

Why It Matters
Gas Dryer Hookups Are Small Jobs with Big Safety Stakes.
Gas dryers are efficient and powerful — as long as the gas line and venting are done right. A professional hookup helps you avoid dangerous leaks, poor performance, and code violations that can show up on home inspections.
- Safety first: Proper connectors, shutoff valves, and drip legs (where required) reduce leak risk.
- Better performance: Correct gas pressure and venting help your dryer heat faster and dry more evenly.
- Resale & inspections: Code-compliant gas work protects you during future home sales and inspections.
What a Proper Gas Dryer Hookup Looks Like
This simple diagram shows the key parts we check and install so your dryer runs safely:

Vent pipe secured and sealed
Final leak test & start-up
Even if the existing line looks “fine,” we verify every connection and update anything that doesn’t meet today’s standards.

FAQ
Gas Dryer Hookup FAQs
Do I need a plumber to hook up my gas dryer?
Yes. Gas work is one area where it’s worth bringing in a pro. Our licensed techs make sure the gas line, shutoff, connector, and venting are all sized and installed correctly — and we test for leaks before we leave.
Can you run a new gas line to my laundry room?
In many homes we can. We’ll inspect your existing gas system, talk through route options, and make sure the new line is sized properly for all appliances. Then we’ll provide upfront pricing before any work starts.
What do I need to do before you arrive?
Clear a path to the laundry area, make sure the dryer is onsite (if new), and locate where your gas meter or main shutoff is. We’ll handle the rest and walk you through everything we’re doing.
Do you haul away old dryers or fix venting issues?
We can help disconnect old dryers and address basic vent connection issues. If your venting is damaged or needs extensive rerouting, we’ll show you what we find and provide options.
