Gas Line Repair in Middleburg, FL
Gas reaches 2% of households in Middleburg. Where it is present it works the same way as anywhere; there is simply much less of it here than in most of the country.
Read this first
In Middleburg, gas heats 2% of households and electricity heats most of the rest. A property with gas there is likelier to have a tank than a utility connection, so there is often no meter boundary in the picture at all.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey table B25040; the service line boundary is 49 CFR § 192.3.
If you smell gas right now
Leave the building on foot. Do not use a phone or a light switch inside. Call 911 and your gas utility from somewhere else, and do not call us — we are a referral service, not an emergency line. The full list, in order.
How Middleburg is supplied
Most properties here have no service line and no meter. For the minority that do, everything on this site applies exactly as it does in a gas town.
| Households in Middleburg | Share |
|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 1% |

| Electricity | 96% |

| Wood and everything else | 2% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), 2023 release. Universe: 20,726 occupied housing units. What B25040 measures is the heating fuel, not the connection. It is the closest published proxy for whether there is a buried service line here, and it is a proxy. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Florida as a whole, 5% of households are on mains gas and 1% on tank propane. Middleburg sits 4 points below the state on mains and about level with it on propane. That spread is what a state average hides, and it is why this page carries the town’s own figures rather than inheriting them.
Before anyone digs on the property
8-1-1 is free and nationwide, and PHMSA gives callers a 99 percent chance of avoiding an incident, injury or worse. Ask them what they will and will not mark: privately owned buried lines on your own side of the meter frequently are not covered.

What to ask whoever quotes it
Ask what they will do about the existing load. Adding an appliance changes what the existing pipe has to deliver, and sizing is a calculation against the whole system rather than the new run alone.

Checking a plumber in Florida
Florida licenses are issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. Florida distinguishes state-certified contractors from registered contractors, who are limited to particular counties.
Gas work is separately permitted and separately licensed in most jurisdictions, so ask specifically about gas rather than plumbing in general.
For repair work, not for a suspected leak.If you can smell gas, leave and call 911 or your utility from outside; this is the wrong number for that. For everything else — a line, a meter, an appliance connection — we will route you to a contractor covering your area, free of charge to you. Other Middleburg requests are covered by the same line.
