Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical

Through our partnership with Bradford White Water Heaters, we were invited to tour their training facility and see their manufacturing plant in Middleville, Michigan. Providing top-quality products to our customers is a priority for us. During our tour, we got to see all the processes of creating a residential, natural gas water heater. From taking raw material and forming it into a tank, to seeing them use a combination of hand welds and automated processed to assemble their water heaters. We saw their quality assurance processes and understand what they're doing to ensure their water heaters perform properly and how they prevent their products from failures, such as leaks. We even talked one on one with some of their engineers, saw their research and development, and asked specific questions about their manufacturing processes that ensure they're building quality products that last. They shared their 5, 10, and 15 year plans to support our customers in the California market. By 2030, California will ban the sale of all new gas-fired water heaters. As gas water heaters are phased out, we'll be seeing more electric hybrid heat pump and electric tankless water heaters in our customer's homes. Thanks for hosting us Bradford White!

Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work is often messy, and we strive to lessen the disruption to our customers by adding that “extra shine.” Thanks Jeff Toister for highlighting one of our customer-focused practices!

Thanks to PHCC San Diego for hosting an amazing evening to celebrate the 2024 graduates.

We’re happy to support our employees through these programs, and celebrate their hard work and dedication in taking this next step in their careers. Great job! 👏

Grateful for the experience to serve on the panel of judges for the Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest 2024 Torch Awards for Ethics. It was a pleasure to meet so many local businesses who operate with a commitment to integrity and honest business practices. Congratulations to all the finalists!

Putting on events like these take a lot of work, but nothing close to the work put in daily by all of the finalists and winners for Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest's Torch Awards for Ethics. What a great day in San Diego celebrating 14 finalists and 5 winners that are doing their part to elevate ethics and integrity in the business community. Jodi Low delivered a great keynote talk, and all attendees received a copy of her book "From Me to U: Lessons on Life, Leadership, and Living Your Legacy". Co-Title Sponsor HomeStreet Bank's Dino D'Auria shared a great message as well. There were scholarships for students, and a surprise iPad for each of the 5 essay contest winners courtesy of Jennifer Barnes, MBA and Optima Office. Seeing the joy and pride on the faces of all of the finalists and winners reminds us why we do this. None of it possible without help from the Board, including Chair Nicole Donnelly who shared her story of why she's a believer in BBB and the Torch Awards.
