I will ONLY be using gas for cooking, in the short term, but will have plumbing pulled to water heater and clothes dryer, for flexibility.
Thanks, and regards,

We also live in Duval and had a gas line installed at our home in April of 2022. We only have a gas tankless water heater at this time. Plans were for future dryer and stove as the electric appliances were replaced. Our gas usage bill for last month was $20.79 broken down as follows:
Customer Charge - $19.10
Distribution Charge - $0.66 (1.2 therms @ 0.55138)
Purchased Gas Adjustment - $0.96 (1.2 therms @ 0.80000)
Florida Gross Receipts Tax - $0.07
Total - $20.79
We did the entire installation through TECO. TECO installed the gas line and meter (third party installers). They recommended 2 plumbers and we had 3 others come to give us estimates, for the installation of the water heater. We chose one of the TECO recommended plumbers as there were rebates from TECO involved at the time. The best local plumbing estimate was from Torri Plumbing in Wildwood. We will most likely use them for future work.
Anthony Torri Plumbing | World Class Plumbing in North Central Florida .The whole process took about 3 months. The third party gas pipe and meter installers were slow with the installation.
The person who put the little flags in before digging told me the feeder gas line was put in to all the homes with the rest of the infrastructure and ours was about 3 feet from the water meter. evidently the developer used the same trench for water and gas pipes.
Good luck with your project.
