Build your reputation as a plumbing contractor - Use quality supplies

Getting a good reputation in the plumbing industry is essential if you want to build a successful business. Whether you’re in commercial plumbing, residential plumbing or both, there are a few things you need to develop a sound professional image.

• Get licensed: The State ofNew Jersey requires plumbers to have a license in order to work as a skilled tradesman. After applying to be an apprentice or journeyman plumber, you can take exams that qualify you as a master plumber. Other criteria include proof of your financial stability, work experience and qualifications – all things that prove to your clients that you are a professional that they can rely on.
• Get insured: Insurance is as good for you as it is for your clients, providing both parties with effective protection. It will cover you in the event of an injury or accident and it assures the homeowner of the quality of your workmanship and that they are covered in the event of property damage.
• Get bonded: While this isn’t essential for most plumbing work, it demonstrates to clients that your work is bondable – that is, financial institutions are satisfied with your workmanship and services, and that you meet their strict requirements for bonded work.
• Offer a warranty: As a plumber, you should always guarantee your services and labor as well as the parts you use for at least one year. This is reassuring to clients and shows that you are prepared to stand by your work.
• Get testimonials: Just like other building contractors, you are only as good as your last job. Having testimonials and references from previous clients is invaluable, as it shows potential clients the high quality of your work.
• Get the right plumbing supplies: High quality plumbing supplies are the keystones to your business, whether you are fixing a leak or doing an entire bathroom renovation. Find a supplier with a trusted name, who has been doing business in the area for a long time and can offer you great prices on top quality parts.

How to choose the right HVAC system for your home

When choosing a new HVAC system for your home, you’ll be faced with an almost overwhelming range of options and technologies for heating and air conditioning your home, but that doesn’t mean you should throw in the towel an simply go with the first one you see. Here’s how to ensure that you get the right system for your house.

Step One: Research your home – Knowing the specifications of your home will help determine exactly what your HVAC needs are. Take a look at what energy systems are available in your neighborhood to find out whether a gas or electric system is more cost effective. Measure each room in your home to have a good idea of its volume, as this will determine how powerful your system needs to be. If you have an older home, consider having your home checked for mold or old insulation that will have to be removed before the new system can be installed.

Step Two: Develop a budget – Ultimately, your budget is going to have the biggest impact on your decision, so have a good idea of what you are prepared to pay before you look at different systems. At the same time, consider that buying a more expensive but more efficient system, as is likely to give you bigger savings in the long term than a cheaper but less efficient system.

Step Three: Choose quality and energy efficiency – An HVAC system is a big investment that you will want to last for years to come, so quality is key. The best brands offer the highest quality technology and, although you will pay slightly more, they have the lowest energy usage and deliver significant savings on your energy bill. In addition, they can help you qualify for New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program that features great rebates and incentives for homeowners who are choosing high efficiency air conditioning and heating systems.
