Reinstall a Gas Line
You will need to reinstall a gas line if you have had it temporarily removed to complete a project, like building a garage or an addition to your home. The following steps outline the process and estimated timelines.
Online Application
Gather all required information and supporting documentation before you start the online application. The following information is mandatory to process your application. Incomplete or inaccurate information will significantly delay your request. You must include:
- Legal name and contact information of building/lot owner who is responsible for payment.
- Natural gas meter number(s) (required for upgrade work).
- Your contractor’s name and contact information.
- Natural gas consumption information:
- Detailed loads, including future loads. Consumption details in BTU/HR or M3/HR can be found on the equipment, through the manufacturer, or by contacting your mechanical contractor.
Site Visit, Estimate and Agreements
Timeline:
- A service technician will visit the site approximately 7-10 business days after we have received your completed application.
- During the site visit, the technician will determine if further review and design is required. The review process may take an additional 2-5 business days.
What to expect during the site visit
- The owner of the property must be present.
- A SaskEnergy technician will review the application request and site with you.
- For simple designs, the technician will provide an estimate and service agreement for your project. This can be accepted and signed during the site visit to keep the project on schedule.
- Designs that are more complicated may require further review and design. If this is the case, a coordinator will contact you after the appointment to discuss and formalize the agreement.
Acceptance of Agreement
Timeline:
- If the agreement is not signed during the site visit, and no further review and design is required, you have 30 days to contact SaskEnergy to proceed with the project. The estimate and agreement will then be sent via Docusign.
- You have 14 days to accept and sign the estimate and agreement from the time you receive the documents.
- Estimate and agreement will be cancelled if the above timelines expire. A new application will be required to proceed with the project.
Site Preparation and Construction
Timeline: 4-6 weeks (timelines vary by area and time of year).
You will receive an email when your project has been added to the work schedule. A second notification will be sent with the site assessment and construction crew arrival timeline. Ensure the applicable Site Readiness Requirements are met before this date.
Billing and Invoicing
Timeline: 30-45 days after construction is complete.
You will receive a line item on your SaskEnergy bill for the service(s).
