LOCAL CONTEXT
Two different fuel systems in the same county
Atlanta Gas Light operates and maintains the natural gas distribution infrastructure inside Calhoun's city limits, delivering gas to customers of certified natural gas marketers, and that infrastructure has been in place for decades. Outside the city, in unincorporated Gordon County and out toward Adairsville, Fairmount, and the county's more rural stretches, natural gas lines often don't reach, and propane delivered by a local supplier and stored in a tank on the property is the standard setup instead.
That split matters for any gas line work, since a natural gas installation and a propane installation involve different regulator sizing, different line sizing for the fuel's different properties, and, for propane, tank placement and connection work that a natural gas job never touches.

What licensed gas work actually involves
Any new gas line, whether extending an existing natural gas line to a new appliance or running a line from a propane tank, is sized to the appliance's BTU demand and the length of run, since undersizing causes real performance and safety issues, not just inconvenience. Georgia's plumbing and gas codes require this work be permitted and inspected, and we handle that as part of the job.
A suspected leak gets treated as urgent regardless of how faint it seems. We test connections and lines with proper leak-detection methods rather than guessing by smell alone, since a small leak at a fitting can be present well before it's strong enough to notice by nose.
| Natural gas (in city) | Propane (rural county) | |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | Atlanta Gas Light infrastructure | Delivered and stored in an on-site tank |
| Availability | Inside Calhoun city limits mainly | Common outside city gas infrastructure |
| Line sizing | Sized to city pressure and BTU demand | Sized differently for propane's properties |
| Provider relationship | Certified gas marketer bills for usage | Local propane supplier delivers and bills |
GOOD TO KNOW
Why sizing the line correctly matters
An undersized gas line starves an appliance of the fuel volume it needs under peak demand, which shows up as a furnace or water heater that seems to run but underperforms, or a range burner that won't reach full output. This is a common issue when a new high-demand appliance, like a tankless water heater, gets connected to an older line that was sized for a smaller appliance decades ago.
We calculate total BTU demand across every gas appliance on a line, not just the new one being added, before confirming whether the existing line size is adequate.
QUESTIONS
Asked in Calhoun about gas line installation & repair
I smell gas. What should I do right now?
Leave the house immediately, don't operate light switches or anything electrical on your way out, and call Atlanta Gas Light's emergency line from outside, or your propane supplier if you're on a tank. Once it's safe, call us to evaluate and repair the source.
Can I install a gas range myself?
No. Gas appliance connections in Georgia require a licensed professional and, for new lines, a permit and inspection. It's not a job to take on without that licensing.
How do I know if I'm on natural gas or would need propane?
If you're inside Calhoun city limits, you very likely have access to natural gas through Atlanta Gas Light's system. Outside the city, propane is the more common setup, though it depends on your specific location.
Do you handle propane tank connections too?
Yes, we handle the plumbing-side connection and line work for propane systems, working alongside your propane supplier who handles the tank itself and fuel delivery.
