Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for plumbing companies to pay their technicians a commission.

Some companies even set sales goals or minimum bill requirements their technicians must meet - even if it means selling you products and services you don’t need.

At Professional Plumbing & Design, we understand that commissions incentivize technicians to upsell customers, rendering their professional advice, shall we say, less than trustworthy…

Let’s face it, the average homeowner doesn’t know very much about plumbing, so they rely on the plumber (or whatever contractor they hire) to provide honest advice. If your plumber’s paycheck depends on the size of your invoice, you can be sure they’re going to try to upsell you.

Professional Plumbing & Design has been family owned and operated since 1985.

We are not a franchise and our plumbers, many of whom carry Master Plumber and Journeyman Plumber licenses, are not on commission. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured, we offer upfront pricing, and we stand behind every job with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Professional Plumbing & Design has stood the test of time because we are committed to providing best service, at the best price, with the utmost fairness and honesty - every customer, every time!
That is what our customers expect from us and that is what we expect from everyone in the company.

Is a tankless water heater right for you?

Tankless water heaters are just one of the many products that Professional Plumbing & Design offers our clients throughout Sarasota and the surrounding communities of Bradenton, Palmetto, and Venice.

Tankless water heaters offer an endless supply of hot water, so you never have to take a cold shower and, by instantly heating only the water you need, when you need it, these suitcase-sized units save more than just space; they save energy, which means you save money!

In the past, installation of these units was complicated and costly, but recent improvements in their design have made it easier than ever to switch from a conventional, tanked water heater to an energy-saving tankless model. Many of the top manufacturers have even started offering tankless units that will work with existing 1/2-inch gas lines; this makes retrofit installations faster and less expensive than before.

Many of the older tankless units had trouble keeping a steady flow of hot water, but the newer models have addressed this problem by adding a recirculation pump that ensures that water comes out hot from the very beginning and stays hot for as long as it is running.

If it's time to replace your water heater, consider switching to an energy-saving tankless water heater; the recent changes in technology and design have made them a great option!

Professional Plumbing and Design can install any type of water heater, but we find more people are choosing Hybrid water heaters due to their high efficiency, and savings on electric bills.
