Gas Line Installation Cost Guide
Most line quotes start from the end use: the stove, the dryer, the fireplace, or the outdoor feature the run feeds. Each end use has a dedicated page here that prices it whole, the line as one adder inside. This guide prices the standalone run by end use, the run itself as the subject.

The run priced by end use, from the dedicated pages' lines
| End use | Line priced inside that project | Published line |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer | new line, dryer-hookup table | $260-$800 |
| Fireplace insert | new hookup, venting hookup table | $200-$1,000 |
| Fireplace insert | extension of an existing line | $250-$500 |
| Outdoor kitchen | run to the island, first utility line | $500-$2,000 |
| Outdoor fireplace | run priced in that hub's FAQ | $800-$2,000 |
| Generator | extension line inside the install budget | $1,000-$3,500 |
| Pool heater | tie-in line inside the heater budget | $500-$2,500 |
Every figure here is a component line inside another project's budget, named with its project: what the run has been priced at inside an end use, not standalone pricing. Standalone readings sit below; the line as one project prices on the gas line installation cost hub.
The standalone run itself, inside both frames
Whichever end use a run feeds, the run prices on its own length and route. Angi frame: $15 to $25 per linear foot, most projects at $260 to $820, average $540. HomeGuide frame, as published on its gas-fireplace and propane-tank pages: $15 to $50 or more per linear foot, or $350 to $2,000 total on average, with trenching at $5 to $12 per linear foot on a buried run. A stove run and a dryer run of the same length and route price alike inside a frame; the end use changes the connection point, not the per-foot band.
The dedicated pages price the end use whole, differentiated head-on
The head-on difference is the subject of the page. The dryer hookup guide prices the dryer hookup as the project; its new-line figure is one line of that table. The outdoor kitchen hub prices the outdoor kitchen whole, run as first utility line. The cooktop hub names gas lines only inside its permit-context paragraph for the cooktop project, and the appliance package guide prices line and electrical upgrades together at $500 to $2,000 inside a package budget. The tankless hub names line upsizing as an adder inside the tankless project. This guide prices none of those end uses: it prices the run that feeds them.
Reading an end-use quote, as reported lines only
A run quote should name its frame, end use, and scope lines apart: the pipe run, the connection, a pressure-test line, and a permit line where carried, each as a cost line only. Extension vs. new-from-meter scope prices apart on the extension vs. new line cost guide. No band here says which end use any specific home should carry.

How much does a gas line for a fireplace cost, as reported?

How much does a gas line for an outdoor kitchen or fire feature cost, as reported?
Inside those budgets: an outdoor kitchen run at $500 to $2,000 as the first utility line, a generator extension at $1,000 to $3,500, and a pool heater tie-in at $500 to $2,500. Standalone runs price inside the two frames named here.
Does the end use change the per-foot price of the run itself?
As reported, the per-foot bands are the run's own: $15 to $25 Angi, $15 to $50 or more HomeGuide, whichever end use the run feeds. The end use changes the connection point, not the frame band.
Is an end-use line figure the same as a standalone run quote?
No, head-on: a component figure prices the line only as far as that end-use project demands it. A standalone quote prices the run itself, in a named frame, permit and trenching lines apart.
