Local conditions

Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett County's largest city, a planned community on the Chattahoochee in the county's western corner. Atlanta Gas Light owns and maintains natural gas pipes across its metro territory, and residents buy gas from a certificated marketer. The bill is where you confirm who owns the pipes at your address.

Much of the city is 1970s through 1990s subdivisions. Census survey data put the median build year at 1989, with about 17% of homes built before 1980. Homes of that era usually have black iron gas piping in a basement or crawl space, and many owners are now replacing original water heaters and furnaces. That makes pipe sizing a common question, especially when a tank heater is swapped for a tankless one.

The city, incorporated in 2012, issues its own building and trade permits through BS&A Online, not Gwinnett County. The Building Division is at City Hall, 310 Technology Parkway.

Timing tips

Most homes here are now old enough that original gas appliances are reaching the end of their lives. Planning a water heater or furnace swap before it fails gives time to check pipe sizing, pull the permit and line up the inspection. Cold mornings are when an undersized line shows itself, because the furnace, water heater and range may all draw at once. If a utility meter upgrade is needed, AGL has to schedule it, so allow extra time.

When you call the number on this page, an independent plumber who works in Peachtree Corners will ask what appliance is involved, how old the house is and where the meter sits. A photo of the water heater's rating plate and the meter helps them judge pipe size before the visit, so the first trip can be productive.

Gas Line Services questions in Peachtree Corners

Will a tankless gas water heater need larger gas piping?

Often, yes. Many Peachtree Corners homes from the 1980s were piped for a tank heater, so the plumber calculates the new load and may run a larger line from the meter.

Who issues permits for gas piping work here?

The City of Peachtree Corners Building Division issues trade permits through BS&A Online. It is the city, not Gwinnett County, since incorporation in 2012.

How can I tell which gas utility serves my house?

Check your gas bill. It names the delivery utility, which for most of the metro is Atlanta Gas Light, along with the marketer that sells you gas.

Are carbon monoxide alarms needed in a home with gas appliances?

Yes. Any gas appliance can produce carbon monoxide if venting fails, so put alarms near bedrooms and on every level, including the basement.
