5 Benefits of Becoming a Multi-Trade Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing Contractor

Every heating and cooling contractor wants the same thing: to provide quality service to their community and, in turn, grow a successful business.

Installing and maintaining reliable, innovative heating and cooling equipment is one way to do just that. For some contractors, adding plumbing to your offerings is another way to provide another essential service to customers and achieve your business goals.

Not sure if your business is ready to offer a new service? Partnering with an industry-leading manufacturer such as Rheem gives you the tools and support you need, every step of the way.

If you’re considering expanding your services, here are a few of the benefits of becoming a multi-trade heating, cooling, and plumbing contractor.

1. Develop stronger customer relationships.

For customers, finding help they can trust is hard. Becoming a multi-trade contractor allows you to deepen your relationship with customers as the one-stop-shop for all of their heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. Instead of calling around to different contractors to provide various services, you can be the one call your community makes for air and water installation and maintenance.

2. Expand your business opportunities.

When you add installing and servicing water heating equipment to your service offering, you also expand your customer pool—which means the potential of more jobs and added growth for your business.

3. Boost credibility with customers.

With the training and knowledge to address heating, cooling, and plumbing problems, your team will instill confidence in customers that your business has the know-how, tools, and ability to find solutions that keep their homes comfortable and working efficiently. That confidence builds trust and boosts credibility, serving as another way to deepen customer relationships and solidifying your business in the community.

4. Build a deeper relationship with your manufacturer.

When you install and maintain Rheem equipment, regardless of the product line, you can expect local support from us and our nationwide network of distributor partners. Expanding your services to become a multi-trade contractor bolsters your support network, granting you access to support from a larger team of Rheem experts and partners across heating, cooling, and plumbing.

5. Access service and support every step of the way.

Growing your services—and in turn, the way you do business—is a big decision. But Rheem is always here for its contractors. Whether you work on heating, cooling, plumbing, or all of the above, our nationwide, regional, and local support teams offer the training and support you need to provide essential heating, cooling, and water heating services to your community.
