National Grid Boilers / Natural Gas Conversion
VP Plumbing& Heating, Suffolk County plumbers, has helped over 100 homeowners switch from oil to natural gas systems. Whether for home or business, natural gas has many uses. It can provide savings and reliability in a variety of applications, such as heating systems, water heaters, gas fireplaces, clothes dryers, and cooking appliances.
Please visit our Natural Gas Conversion page for a step-by-step walk-through of the process.

Forced Hot Air Gas Heating System
Sometimes referred to as "Forced hot air", forced-air gas heating systems are used in central air heating/cooling systems for houses. In general, they consist of a furnace that is heated by natural gas that forces hot air through ductwork and out through vents which in turn provide heat to various rooms within a building.
Natural gas is fed to buildings from the main gas line to the furnace. Typically forced air gas furnaces employ a pilot light or a solid state ignition system to light the natural gas burner. The ductwork supplying the hot air (and sometimes cool air if an AC unit is tied into the system) can be insulated or not.
A thermostat is used to control temperature and will turn on/off the furnace as needed. Digital thermostats give you the ability to program temperature changes throughout the day and night. For example, you may want the heat to turn down to a certain temperature at bedtime and then come back up to temperature 15 minutes before you wake up.
Here at VP Plumbing and Heating, we provide installation of gas forced air systems and we can also handle the piping of natural gas to the unit(s) as required to fulfill your heating needs.
We're happy to help explain the process to you, just give us a call 516-659-3368 or contact us for a free consultation.
Radiant Heating System
Designs with underfloor radiant heating had been widespread in China, Korea, Austria, Germany and has become much more common here is the United States. Heating by radiant energy can be used for both indoor and outdoor areas. Radiant flooring is most commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms, entire homes can be heating through the use of radiant heat.
One of the main benefits of radiant heating systems is the decrease in circulation of air inside a room which reduces the spreading of airborne particles. Also with radiant flooring, the surface heats evenly, so you do not end up with any cold spots on your floors.
Let VP Plumbing and Heating bring some warmth into your home. Give us a call 516-659-3368 or contact us to discuss the benefits of Radiant Heating Systems.
Hot Water Baseboard System
The days of big bulky cast iron radiators are no longer common in new construction. Today the most practical and commonly used radiators are forced hot water baseboard style radiators. These radiators are made with copper pipes that have aluminum fins (convectors) that help to increase their surface area. The convectors transfer heat from copper pipes which receive hot water from the heating source.
These systems use convection to transfer heat from the radiators to the surrounding air within each room. Cold air is drawn in at the bottom of the radiator, the air is then warmed as it passes over the convectors and heated air is released from the top of the radiator. This creates a convective loop of air movement within the space. Baseboard heating systems typically have movable covers which allow you to adjust the amount of heat that is released from a particular section of the baseboard radiator.
