That certification applies to specialty contractors that have a limited scope of work.

"A “specialty contractor” means a contractor whose scope of work and responsibility is limited to a particular phase of construction and whose scope is limited to a subset of the activities described in the categories established in s. 489.105, F.S."

According to the Florida license website, you don't need to hire a specialty gas line contractor to hook up a natural gas appliance. Here is a link to the Florida website that describes what type of work a licensed plumber can perform.

Under plumbing contractors, it says that plumbers can work on natural gas pipes. Also, I don't think that Mike Scott Plumbing has a gas line specialty license. According to the Florida website, Mike Scott is a certified plumbing contractor, but not a gas line specialty contractor.
