Summer is back in Edmonton—and if you’re like most homeowners, your backyard is about to become the heart of your home. From mid-week sausages to weekend feasts, there’s nothing better than enjoying great food outdoors with family and friends. But if you’re still relying on propane tanks, it might be time to upgrade your grilling game.
Let’s talk about the many benefits of installing a natural gas BBQ line—and why it’s one of the smartest home improvements you can make this season.
Both propane and natural gas are great for outdoor cooking—but they’re not created equal. Here’s a quick breakdown:
So, which one’s better for your BBQ?
With propane, you always run the risk of running out mid-cook. Natural gas lines are permanently connected to your home’s supply, meaning your grill is always ready to fire up—no more emergency trips to the store.
Natural gas is about 1/6th the cost of propane. Although there’s an upfront cost to install the gas line, the long-term savings on fuel are significant—especially if you grill frequently.
Natural gas barbecues offer better heat distribution, helping you cook more evenly and consistently. Whether it’s burgers, veggies, or steaks, you’ll have more control over your flame.
Natural gas burns cleaner than propane. It emits fewer greenhouse gases, leaves less residue, and produces less exhaust—creating a better atmosphere for cooking and socializing (and it won’t affect the taste of your food).
Not only does a BBQ natural gas hookup enhances your grilling experience but you can also connect natural gas patio heaters, making those chilly Edmonton evenings a little more comfortable. Extend your patio season and keep guests warm well into the night.
No more wrestling with heavy tanks or scheduling refills. A direct gas hookup means simpler, cleaner, and safer backyard living. You’ll be ready for spontaneous barbecues, big parties, or even solo steak nights with no prep needed.
Depending on your home, the gas line can run:
Our licensed gasfitters assess your setup, handle the permits, install the line, and complete all necessary safety checks.
And if you already have a natural gas line for bbq installed, we recommend a seasonal maintenance check before BBQ season kicks off. Routine inspections help ensure everything is running efficiently and safely.
Many propane barbecues can be converted to natural gas with the right conversion kit, but sometimes it’s more cost-effective to simply upgrade to a natural gas Barbeque. If you’re unsure, our team can help you make the right choice for your setup and budget.
