Zaffino Commercial Properties Builds Success with Reliable Natural Gas Service

For more than 25 years, Zaffino Commercial Properties has been a trusted name in the construction industry. Operating from a 9,600-square-foot facility and employing 10 to 12 people, the company continues to grow while supporting local development by building homes and commercial spaces and supplying essential building materials.

When it came time to heat their newly constructed building, Zaffino Commercial Properties chose natural gas for its dependability, consistent cost and fast service. “When it comes to heating, you can’t beat natural gas,” said owner William Zaffino. “It has always been reliable and cost-saving compared to other energy choices.” Natural gas fuels the company’s heating units, providing efficient and reliable comfort throughout the workspace.

During construction, Nicor Gas helped fuel the furnace for heating in the new building and guided the team through the process of obtaining gas service. The company encountered some challenges when completing the service application and multi-meter bar form required for three meters. The Nicor Gas team promptly joined a call to walk them through the correct steps, ensuring each meter was properly installed for every unit.

“Nicor Gas was very easy to work with,” Zaffino explained. “The team was responsive, kept me updated and made sure everything went smoothly until the meters were installed.” Nicor Gas consultants also helped manage the timeline and successfully met the project deadline by installing the gas service promptly upon completion of the building.

Since connecting to natural gas, Zaffino Commercial Properties has benefited from reliable performance and cost savings. Natural gas remains a safe, clean and environmentally friendly way to heat—an energy choice that supports both efficiency and sustainability.

Zaffino Commercial Properties values its partnership with Nicor Gas, recognizing the team’s responsiveness, expertise and commitment to helping the business achieve its goals efficiently. Together, they’ve built a strong foundation for continued growth and success.
