Our teams can service and repair natural gas appliances even if you have purchased them from outside vendors.

Need a new water heater but don’t want to purchase one? VGS offers water equipment for lease or sale on various sizes and models, including heat-pump water heaters. Or, want to convert an oil heating system but aren’t ready to replace your heating system? VGS also offers conversion burner leases.

We also offer Service Plans for your heating and hot water equipment. These plans are available with or without an annual preventive maintenance inspection. See the charts below for details on each of these services

Service Plans Provide Peace Of Mind

At VGS, we know how important it is to keep your family safe, your home warm, and your water hot!  Breakdowns of your residential gas heating equipment are generally unpredictable and can cause undue stress.  It can be frustrating to find a contractor available to work on your equipment and parts alone can cost hundreds of dollars.

Give yourself, and your family, peace of mind, save time and money on unexpected and costly repairs with a VGS Service Plan starting as low as $5.75/month. See prices and terms in the chart below.

Note: You must purchase a service plan for each piece of equipment you want to cover.
