The City of Wildomar names SoCalGas as its natural gas provider. If you smell gas, evacuate right away and, from a safe location, call 911 and SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200. For repairs and new piping beyond the meter, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Wildomar.
How the call and visit work
Plumber Oceanside does not employ plumbers; your call reaches an independent tradesperson who handles gas piping in Wildomar. Be ready to explain what you need: a new line for a range or dryer, a run out to a patio or spa, a connector replacement, or a check of piping after a suspected leak that the utility has already cleared. The plumber will look over the existing system, size any new line for the total load, make the connection and pressure test the piping before appliances are relit. Any active gas smell means leaving the house and calling 911 and SoCalGas, not a plumber.
Price factors
- How far the appliance sits from the meter
- Hillside or rocky ground for buried outdoor lines
- Capacity of the existing piping
- Number of appliances being connected or moved
- A City of Wildomar building permit and inspection
Local conditions
Wildomar only became a city in 2008, and half its homes were built before 1994 and half after. Most houses have gas piping that is in reasonable condition, so the work here leans toward additions and upgrades rather than replacing worn pipe. Many lots sit on hilly ground of sage scrub and chaparral, and outdoor runs to a spa, fire pit or barbecue can mean trenching through rock or slope, which takes more time.
The City's natural gas page points residents to SoCalGas leak guidance: evacuate and call from a safe location. Hot summers and cooler inland nights mean a furnace may sit idle for months and then run hard, so autumn is a good time to have the furnace connection and shutoff checked. The City handles building permits online, and its main number at City Hall is 951-677-7751.
