Who can we contact to install a natural gas line for a grill on our patio?
We had planned on buying a house with a gas line already built in, but when we switched houses, the new one does not have a gas line.
Has anyone had one installed lately and have an idea on who to contact (Centerpoint?)? and about how much it would cost?

Call your favorite plumber. They do this sort of work. Or, convert your grill to propane, and get a bottle.

Yep, it is time for a plumber. The price depends on how far they have to run the new line. We are having it done for our outdoor kitchen but the price was included in our pool price.

If you don't have a grill yet, check with the grill companies that sell them. When we bought our gas grill, the installation charge included about 50' of gas line from the gas meter back to where we had the grill installed. They ran copper from a shut off valve at the meter to the ground, plastic under the ground, and copper again up to the grill.

FYI, you can save money by digging the trench yourself. You just have to check for any existing utility lines and make sure you dig it deep enough.

I ran my last gas line, and it wasn't too bad. It was still kind of pricey because I ran a 1" line from the meter to the garage so I could run a NG generator and also put a line to the side of the garage to use a Weber NG grill (no longer in service). The pricey parts were the yellow NG tubing and especially the two risers. However, I still saved over $500 for a days work.
