Gas Services & Information
For your convenience, Charlottesville Gas provides a complete range of services from gas line installation to gas line repair.
Note that Charlottesville Gas is only responsible for the gas line from the street to the meter. Any internal lines beyond the meter are the homeowner’s responsibility.
Delivered gas pressure to the customer will be 7 inches of water column. Higher delivered pressure (PSIG) is restricted to commercial and industrial applications and must be requested in writing (with appropriate justification) and is subject to approval by the Gas Engineer or designee. Limitations to PSIG service include, but are not limited to, external fuel lines (as in rooftop units) and appropriate appliance regulators with an internal relief vented to the atmosphere.

Cost Comparison: Compare Your Home Heating Fuel to Natural Gas
- To compare oil and propane costs to natural gas, oil and propane must be converted into therms.
- To convert oil to therms - multiply the cost of oil per gallon by 0.72
- To convert propane to therms - multiply the cost of propane per gallon by 1.092
- The current cost of one therm of natural gas is $1.08 (based on a monthly bill for a typical residential 12,000CF user)
Fuel Type | Cost per Gallon | Multiplied by 0.72/1.092 | Compared to Natural Gas |
---|---|---|---|
Oil | $2.44 | $1.76 per therm | $1.08 per therm |
Propane | $2.24 | $2.45 per therm | $1.08 per therm |
