Plumbing

Have a plumbing business and looking for effective ways to attract more customers? Below are just a few marketing strategies that are worth trying to help boost business.

Build an attractive website

A website is essential for generating customers and making your business look official. This needs to look professional in order to build a sense of trust. Make sure that information like contact details, services you provide and credentials are clearly visible on the homepage. You can also display testimonials from happy customers. There are lots of cheap and easy ways to build your own website. Alternatively, you can always hire a web design company to make one for you.

Get on social media

Social media is another great tool for connecting with customers online. You should create a Facebook business page at the very least. Post content on your page regularly – this could include updates, promotions and plumbing-related tips. Boost posts to help them reach a larger audience.

Encourage positive online reviews

A lot of customers like to look at online reviews before deciding whether a business is trustworthy. Encourage every happy customer you work with to leave a positive Google review. This will help you to encourage more customers by showing that you’re a company people can depend on.

Invest in SEO

SEO (search engine optimization) is a marketing strategy that can help to boost the rankings of your website. This can lead to more people visiting your site – and consequently more customers. SEO relies on using various tricks such as using keywords on your website and boosting the page of your site. It’s worth hiring an SEO company to do all this for you as it’s not something you can easily do yourself. 

Print off some business cards

There are many types of marketing to try beyond online marketing. Handing out business cards is a simple and effective way to get business offline. If you meet someone who may be looking for a plumbing service, you can quickly exchange contact details and make yourself look more professional by handing out a business card. You can also post business cards through letterboxes and pin them up on public notice boards.

Consider taking part in local marketing events

There may be local events that you can sponsor – this involves putting some money into the event in exchange for being able to display branded posters and banners at the event. There could even be a local trade show worth entering – by renting a 10×20 trade show booth and showing up with some flyers, you may be able to generate some business. 

Invest in branded vehicle wrapping

Your car or van could be used as a form of mobile advertising. Using a vinyl wrap you can easily promote your company name and contact details on the side of your vehicle. This will make your business look more professional, and you could generate some extra business from it. There are companies that specialize in producing these vinyl wraps. 

Money-saving plastic pipe reamers (also known as socket savers and/or hub savers) are designed to clean out the old or broken pipe and leftover solvent cement from a fitting so the fitting can be reused. In this era of green living and recycling, try these reamers on PVC, CPVC or ABS to save time and material costs.

Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamers fit into standard ½” drills. PPR socket savers work great for vent lines, drain lines, and water lines. Carbide cutting insert on socket saver provides a cutting edge on each side. Rotate the socket saver’s cutting insert before replacement and receive three additional cutting edges.

• Clean leftover pipe and solvent cement residue from PVC, CPVC or ABS fittings.
• Reduce labor time and materials costs by reusing the fittings.
• Offered in specific fitting sizes to give the best clean-out.
• Pilot diameter aids in cutting on center and stops tool at the proper cutting depth.
• Clean edge of PPR with solvent to remove the thin film left by solvent cement.
• Use high torque, low RPM setting on standard 1/2 inch drill to reduce heat caused by friction and to provide the cleanest ream.

REED Clean Ream Extreme® Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamers are NOT recommended for high pressure supply systems or for vent side of gas burning appliance piping systems.

Denron Plumbing & HVAC and J. Lawrence Hall a “Merger of Equals”

Two of New Hampshire’s most successful mechanical contractors have combined teams to form a commercial plumbing and HVAC powerhouse in the market.

Denron Plumbing & HVAC LLC, serving commercial and Industrial plumbing and HVAC clients throughout New England since 1974 and J Lawrence Hall, family-owned and operated design-build mechanical contractor in Nashua since 1937 have merged. The merged companies will be known as Denron Hall Plumbing & HVAC.

(From L to R) Steve Bienvenue, Christopher Mitchell, Joel Pickering, Charlie Hall, Elliot Hall, Joe Nash.

“It was important for us to find a partner who could help carry on the legacy that of our family built over 8 decades,” said J Lawrence Hall President Charlie Hall. “Taking care of our employees and customers long term have been our top priorities and the merger with Denron accomplishes both.”

The merged company will maintain both their Manchester and Nashua locations and will have more than 200 employees. Although both companies previously provided both plumbing and HVAC services to general contractors, building owners and facility managers throughout northern and central New England, Denron’s strength was on the plumbing side and J Lawrence Hall had a strong background in HVAC, including their own sheet metal shop.

“It truly is a merger of equals, with each of the companies bringing unique specialties to the table,” said Denron Hall CEO Joel Pickering “Bringing together these two great companies makes us stronger in the marketplace.“

There’s no one in the region now that brings this level of expertise in plumbing,  HVAC construction and building services at this size and scope to a project,” said Pickering. “Additionally, by maintaining the two locations allows us to better serve our service and maintenance customers in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.”

Navien, Inc. introduces a new 120,000 BTU/h model to the NPN non-condensing tankless water heater lineup. The NPN-120E is the fourth model introduction to the NPN-E (exterior) series, and just like the other three models in the series (NPN-160E, NPN-180E and NPN-199E), the new size is offered in separate natural gas and liquid propane configurations for outdoor-only operation. NPN-120E provides 4.2 GPM at 45° F temperature rise and stays in-line with the rest of the NPN series at 0.81 UEF.

The NPN series is the first and only non-condensing tankless series to offer NaviTech™ technology that includes a stainless-steel heat exchanger and an advanced stainless-steel burner with the same very low NOx level as the NPE condensing tankless water heaters. NPN-E units have recirculation control built into their circuit boards and are designed with a pin-to-pin matching configuration for easy retrofit installations.
