Youngtown's homes and gas

Youngtown was built starting in 1954 as the first planned retirement community in the United States and incorporated as a town in 1960. Its age restrictions were repealed in 1999, and it is now a mixed-age community, but many houses date back to those early decades. That history shows up in the gas piping: original iron pipe, shutoff valves that haven't been turned in years, and appliance connectors installed several water heaters ago.

The research behind this page didn't find an official page naming Youngtown's gas utility, and some homes have no gas service. Your gas bill shows the utility and the emergency number to call.

Permits go through the Town of Youngtown Community Development Department at Town Hall on North Clubhouse Square. The Town's page doesn't list gas or water heater permit rules specifically, so the plumber will confirm with the Town before starting new piping.

When you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who handles gas work in Youngtown. Describe what you're seeing or planning and roughly how old the house is. In older homes the plumber may suggest replacing stiff shutoff valves and old connectors at the same visit, since the gas will already be off and the system will be tested afterward anyway. Ask about any permit the Town requires and how long the appliances will be off during the work. If a wall furnace or older range is being retired rather than replaced, ask to have its supply line properly capped, not just shut at the valve.

Gas Line Services questions in Youngtown

What turns up in the gas piping of older homes?

In Youngtown houses dating to the 1950s and 1960s, plumbers commonly find original iron pipe, valves that no longer turn and connectors from several appliance swaps ago.

How can I tell which gas utility serves my address?

Check the gas bill, which names the utility and its emergency number. Some Youngtown homes are all-electric.

Can an unused gas line be capped when an appliance is removed?

Yes. Older homes often have stubs from removed wall heaters or ranges; each should be properly capped and tested.

Do homes with gas appliances need carbon monoxide alarms?

They should. Carbon monoxide alarms near sleeping areas and on each level are especially worthwhile with older gas appliances.
