Gas grill installation costs between $100 and $1,500, with an average price of $700. Most homeowners pay between $200 to $1,200 on average. The total price varies based on factors such as grill type, labor, gas line length, and add-ons.
A freestanding grill installation costs less on average than a built-in grill. Adding a conversion kit will increase the overall project cost. Unlike propane grills, natural gas grills hook up to a gas line connected to your home. This ensures you never run out of gas when it's time to fire up the grill.
Gas Grill Installation Cost Factors
Several key elements, from materials used and labor costs to gas line installation, determine the cost of installing a gas grill in your yard.
Type of Grill
The type of gas grill you install is a major part of the overall project cost. Freestanding and portable grills tend to be less expensive, while built-in and custom grills cost more. A conversion kit allows you to convert an existing propane grill to a natural gas grill, reducing overall unit cost.
| Grill Type | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Freestanding grill | $200–$400 |
| Built-in grill | $500–$1,200 |
| Portable grill | $100–$250 |
| Conversion kit | $100–$300 |
Grill Size
The size of the grill also impacts the overall cost. A single or double-burner natural gas grill averages between $250 and $500. These entry-level models are basic but still provide reliable cooking performance. A three- to five-burner option averages $500 to $1,000 and offers more cooking real estate. This is a good option for homeowners that grill frequently, or feed larger groups of people. On the higher-end side, a grill with six burners, or side hot plates, averages between $1,000 and $2,000.
Installation Materials
You need more than just the grill itself. You should consider items such as the gas shutoff valve and pressure gauge when determining the material costs for this project. A natural gas plumber near you should have all of these materials handy.
| Item | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Gas shutoff valve | $35–$75 per valve |
| Pressure gauge | $10–$100 per gauge |
| Gas pipes | $15–$25 per linear foot |
| Pipe-joint sealant | Around $10 |
Labor
A natural gas plumber costs anywhere from $50 to $150 per hour. Installing a natural gas grill can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on how far away the new gas line is and how difficult it is to run new pipes. Your home may already have a dedicated connection, which streamlines the job for the licensed plumber.
Gas Line
Most people who buy a natural gas grill already have natural gas throughout their homes. If you need to install a gas line, expect to pay an additional $550 on average. Though if your house is close enough to an already existing gas line, you may qualify for free installation.
Ongoing Gas Grill Costs
When installing a gas grill, it’s important to consider not just the upfront costs but also the ongoing expenses involved in ownership. Understanding warranty options, fuel and maintenance costs, and potential repairs can help you plan for long-term savings and reliable performance.
Warranty Coverage
Most grills come with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers defects in materials or workmanship. Some installers offer additional protection plans or extended warranties that may include labor or accidental damage for an extra fee of $50 to $200. It’s important to review what’s included, as coverage can vary significantly.
Operating Expenses
Your fuel choice—natural gas or propane—affects ongoing costs. Natural gas is less expensive per use but requires a utility connection. Propane tanks cost more per refill but provide greater flexibility. Some gas providers may charge connection or minimum usage fees, so check with your local utility. Choosing an energy-efficient grill can help lower your fuel costs over time.
Maintenance Requirements
Routine maintenance is key to keeping your grill running safely and efficiently. This includes cleaning burners, inspecting connections, and replacing worn parts. DIY maintenance supplies cost between $20 and $50 annually, while professional servicing runs from $100 to $250 per year. Regular upkeep helps prevent costly repairs and extends the lifespan of your grill.
Repair Costs
Common repairs for gas grills include burner replacements, regulator fixes, and ignition system repairs. Costs vary depending on parts and labor but are manageable for typical issues:
Burner replacement: $75 to $250
Regulator repair: $50 to $150
Ignition repair: $75 to $200
Gas line leak repair: $150 to $350
Keeping these factors in mind can help you budget effectively for your grill’s ongoing care and repairs.
DIY Gas Grill Installation vs. Hiring a Pro
Installing a natural gas grill on a new or existing gas line is potentially hazardous, so DIY work is discouraged. Instead, you should always have a pro install your outdoor gas grill. If you handle the setup yourself, have a licensed professional inspect the grill and gas line before use.
If you choose to install the gas grill yourself, you’ll save around $100 to $400 at most. These savings are not worth the potential danger involved with gas lines. For code-compliant work and peace of mind, hire a local natural gas plumber.
Budgeting for a Gas Grill Installation
Consider these cost-saving strategies to make your gas grill installation project more budget-friendly:
Compare quotes from multiple local pros to ensure competitive pricing and services.
Use standard materials instead of premium options when possible.
Bundle multiple services at once to take advantage of potential discounts or bundle pricing.
Perform simple cleaning and upkeep yourself to reduce professional service needs in the future.
