Where Paradise Valley homes have natural gas, it comes from Southwest Gas, so a gas smell means leaving the house and calling 911 and Southwest Gas at 877-860-6020. For new lines, fire features, pool heaters and leak repairs after the meter, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Paradise Valley.
What happens when you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who takes gas work in Paradise Valley. Share the scope: a leak, a new appliance, a remodel or an outdoor project. Because most lots here are an acre or more, mention how far the work is from the meter and whether it crosses hardscape, a driveway or landscaping.
The plumber will usually calculate the total gas load for the property, since large homes often run several high-demand appliances at once. Then the line is planned, installed, pressure tested and inspected before anything is lit.
Cost factors
- Run length across large lots and the pipe size it requires
- Number of high-demand appliances: pool and spa heaters, multiple fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, tankless water heaters
- Boring under or cutting through hardscape and restoring it
- Town permit and inspection
- Manifolds, regulators or valves for zoned outdoor features
Local conditions
The Town of Paradise Valley is primarily residential, and most of it is zoned for single-family homes on lots of at least one acre. Its resident guide notes that natural gas from Southwest Gas is available only in some areas of town, so not every home has a gas meter. Homes without utility gas are usually all-electric, and adding gas starts with asking Southwest Gas whether a main reaches your street.
Permits come from the Town's Community Development Department, Building division, on Lincoln Drive. It issues building, mechanical and plumbing permits through the Town's online Citizen Portal. Submittals and payments aren't accepted after 3:30 p.m., which is worth knowing if a job is time-sensitive.
The big gas loads in Paradise Valley tend to be outdoors: fire pits, fire bowls, pool heaters, spa heaters and outdoor kitchens. Lines to these can run a long way from the meter, and the farther the run, the larger the pipe needs to be. Water service here varies by address among four providers, but that has no bearing on gas.
Before the visit
- Find the gas meter and confirm the gate code or access
- List every gas appliance, indoors and out, with BTU ratings if you have them
- Have landscape or hardscape plans available for any buried route
- Flag any irrigation or low-voltage lighting lines you know of
