Four things cover most of what we get called for. If you are not sure which one you need, the leak and safety page is the right place to start, because that is the one where guessing costs the most.
New lines, replacements and running gas somewhere it has never been. Sized for what you will actually run on it.
Leaks, corroded sections, failed connectors and lines that can no longer carry the load they are being asked to.
Locating a leak, pressure testing the system, and checking connectors, shutoffs and CSST bonding.
Ranges, dryers, tankless water heaters, pool heaters, grills and generator connections.
Somebody wants a gas range. Or a pool heater that keeps up in January, or a generator that runs on something other than cans of fuel in the garage. That is usually how this starts, and the answer usually has nothing to do with the appliance. It comes down to whether there is gas at the property at all, and what it takes to get a line to it.
A lot of the housing west of the Palmetto went up all-electric. No meter, no service, nothing to connect to. So the work isn’t repairing an old system, it’s building one. Finding out whether a utility main runs past your street. Sizing the line for everything you’ll eventually run on it, not just the one appliance you’re thinking about today. Then getting it from the point of entry to the appliance through concrete block, because almost nothing here has a basement to run it under.
Around the Clock Gas Service is a licensed gas contractor, Florida registration LQ12177, working across Miami-Dade and Broward County from a shop in Hialeah Gardens.
One thing worth knowing before you call anyone. Three separate gas utilities operate across these two counties and they don’t all serve both. Whether gas is available to you is decided by whether a main runs past your address, not by which city you live in, so two houses on the same street can get different answers. Anyone who tells you over the phone that your neighborhood has gas, without checking, is guessing.
Get everyone out of the building before you do anything else. Don’t flip switches, don’t unplug anything, don’t use the phone inside, and don’t go hunting for the leak yourself. From outside, call your gas utility’s emergency line or 911. That is the right first call at any hour, and it is free. Then call us.
We work across Miami-Dade and Broward County from one shop in Hialeah Gardens. Out here traffic decides how long it takes to reach you far more than distance does, so if timing matters for your job, say so and we’ll be straight with you about it.

Here are answers to the questions South Florida homeowners ask us most. Need something else? Just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
Often, yes. The first question is whether a gas utility main runs past your property, because that decides whether you are connecting to a utility service or looking at propane instead. From there it is a sizing and a routing problem: what you plan to run on the line, now and later, and how the pipe gets from the point of entry to the appliance through block wall.
Usually. A typical 40 gallon tank draws somewhere around 40,000 BTU. A whole-house tankless unit can draw up to about 199,000. Putting one on the line that fed the other is the most common gas sizing mistake in residential gas work, and the symptom is a unit that will not hold temperature when more than one tap is open. Check the line before you buy the heater, not after.
Trust your nose first. Natural gas has no smell of its own, so the rotten egg odor is an additive put there specifically so you can detect a leak. A hissing sound near piping, a gas bill climbing with no change in usage, or a dead strip of grass running in a straight line across the yard are all worth acting on too. If you smell gas, leave the building, then call your gas utility’s emergency line or 911 from outside.
CSST is the flexible yellow or black corrugated tubing used for gas in a lot of newer work. It has to be bonded to the home’s electrical grounding system, and when it is not, a nearby lightning strike can arc through the tubing wall. Florida has the highest lightning strike density in the country, which makes an unbonded run a bigger problem here than almost anywhere else. It is worth checking.
Yes. We hold Florida registration LQ12177, issued under the state’s gas licensing program, which covers the design, installation, servicing and modification of gas piping, tubing and equipment.
