Gas Lamp Installations

Gas Lamp Installation in Houston

Adding a gas light to the outside of your home provides ambiance and dependable gas lighting for many areas of your property. Gas lamp installation creates a unique ambiance that transforms your landscaping and allows you to enjoy outdoor living. By enlisting the help of a qualified plumber from Santhoff Plumbing, we’ll ensure that your new gas light fixtures work and are reliable. 

Here are four factors to consider when planning to add gas lamps to your existing outdoor décor:

Location Matters

Most city and state codes require at least six inches of clearance between gas lamps and any other combustible substance. Additionally, a clearance of 12 inches is required between the top of the gas lantern and other items. These restrictions are intended to reduce the risk of fire and other accidents associated with gas lamps. You can ensure that we do quality work that is compliant with all applicable city and state building codes.

Wall or Pole Mounted Options

Depending on the desired lighting effect, you can choose from pole-mounted or wall-mounted gas lights. In some cases, a mix of these two gaslight options can deliver the most attractive results for your front yard, garden, or patio area. Consulting with a member of our plumbing team can provide you with professional guidance on the most appropriate solutions for your outdoor lighting needs.

Electronic Ignition or Manual Lighting

For many years, gas lanterns have been lit manually by turning the gas valve and applying flame directly. Newer models, however, may include electronic ignition modules that allow you to light these lamps at the touch of a button. Gas lamps that feature electronic ignition may require added wiring during gas light installation.

Safe Operation

Understanding how to operate your new gas lamps safely is critical to ensure safety for you and your family. 

A few helpful hints can go a long way toward preventing accidents related to these picturesque additions to your exterior décor:

  • If you smell gas, move away from the area and call a qualified Houston residential plumber
  • Never attach items to the top of your gas lamps; additionally, keep combustible materials well away from these lighting sources
  • Use care in touching the glass or metal parts of the lamp during operation. Gas lamps can generate a fair amount of heat that can sometimes cause burns

We do not sell gas lamps but have the expertise for gas light installation at your home or a pole in your yard. Our experts at Santhoff Plumbing can also provide you with guidelines and general instructions on how to operate your gas lamp safely. Call us today at (713) 360-2185 to learn more.
