Nat. Gas Heater Addition

We are relatively new with natural gas up here in Maine but from what I understand ALL gas work needs to be done by licensed contractors. I was asked to lok over a house listed for sale for someone from out of state and immediately noticed the gas installation was not as it should be. I checked with the permit department and they confirmed no permit and no inspection AND she was very upset. My meeting with the real estate agent the next morning conformed the house had been removed from the market. It had been flipped with no permits at all.

Verify what work you are allowed to do.

I do appreciate your concern and take all precautions seriously as improper work can create a deadly situation.

The work will be done by my friend who does contract work for the neighboring school district. I have contacted the town & gas provider already with questions about my current service & setup.

This inquiry is for my own education. I like to know everything about the jobs I'm considering on my property. I want to go into situations with an understanding. When questions arise, I can make informed decisions.

So if you, or anyone here might have some help and advice with my questions above, thank you for your time, I do appreciate it.
