I’m looking for a licensed plumber in Baton Rouge to install some step-down regulators on a gas meter at my house. The Pentair (pool heater) rep is telling me that the heater is not getting enough gas to run the heater on the hot tub. I can’t get the plumber who installed the gas lines out there to see if it is an issue with the meter or something with the heater. So, I am going to assume the Pentair guy is right and install an upgraded meter. Since I can’t get the original plumber out there, I have to move on and find someone else. Does the OT have any recommendations for an honest plumber who can install these step down regulators (one going into house and one going to pool heater) in Baton Rouge?

Will be more then just the meter/ step down regulators.

Standard residential pressure in BR is 1/4 pound gas. Generators and pool heaters usually need 1/2 pound gas.

You will need to get entergy to install a 2 pound meter, then get a plumber to install a 2 psi to 1/4 psi regulator for the house. And then get a 2 psi to 1/2 psi for the pool heater. Just need to verify min pressure rating on the pool heater I have seen some require 2 psi as well

Contact Louis Mechanical
