Gas work on Kiawah is nearly always about adding something new, and the coastal conditions decide how it should be done.
Outdoor kitchens, fire features and pool heaters
Common on these properties, and all straightforward when done properly. The part most often got wrong is sizing — adding a pool heater, an outdoor kitchen and a generator to a line specified for the original appliances leaves everything underperforming, and it gets blamed on the equipment. We calculate the total demand before running anything.
Salt air on exterior pipework
Anything running outside needs exterior-rated pipe and shut-offs. On a barrier island, materials that would be fine inland corrode noticeably faster.
Standby generators
Sensible on an island where storms take the power out, and the gas supply is the part most often undersized when one is specified.
If you smell gas
Leave the house first, then call from outside. Do not switch anything on or off on your way out. If the property is managed for you, make sure whoever holds keys knows this too.
