Full-Service Heating, Plumbing, and Commercial Contractors in Gibson City, IL

Known as the Big Little City of Ford County, Gibson City sits on the open prairie about 30 miles north of Champaign, a railroad town platted in 1869 that grew into a real hub for the surrounding farm country. Today it is home to Gibson Area Hospital, a busy downtown, County Market, and the long-running Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In out on Route 47, along with hundreds of homes ranging from railroad-era houses to newer builds. Lanz, Inc. extends its full range of HVAC, plumbing, and underground solutions north into Gibson City and the rest of Ford County, backed by 24/7 availability and a 4.9-star reputation built since 2002. Whether you are near downtown, out toward Melvin and Sibley, or on a farm outside town, help is a call away. Reach us at 217-394-1380 or request service online.
