My mind sometimes makes weird connections, and lately, I’ve imagined Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC as sibling rivals.

With Business Uncensored just around the corner, we’ve been hearing from Plumbers and Electricians wondering if there’s something for them, too. Spoiler alert: there will be PLENTY for all trades.

But this got me thinking—how often do these ‘siblings’ feel overlooked?

Let’s dig in and have some fun with it…

The Oldest: Plumbing

Plumbing, the eldest, has been around the longest. It’s like the wise older sibling who’s seen it all and knows how to get things done.

The invention of plumbing revolutionized modern living by providing clean water and proper sanitation, saving countless lives. Plumbers set the foundation for our homes.

With The New Flat Rate, plumbers find phenomenal success. Why? Because TNFR lets you offer customers multiple options, making each job more profitable.

National Average Service Tickets for Plumbers:

• Without The New Flat Rate: $400
• With The New Flat Rate: $1400

Here’s what a few plumbers have been saying about TNFR:

Eric: “We can’t say enough about using The New Flat Rate system. We came on board with their program approximately two years ago, and it has made a big change in our gross revenue. It is much easier now to offer options to our customers, let them choose, and finalize the billing on the spot. Recently, they have added some updates that let us adjust some of the task wording and pricing. That has been extremely helpful to our business. We can tailor it to what we offer in the plumbing space. Suzanne has helped us, whenever we reach out to her, pretty much immediately. I thank everyone for getting us started with the right system for us. We have tried others and did not have the success we have now. We continually try to use more of the system and make ourselves better for doing so. Thank you, TNFR!!”

Dalton Hatch: “I own a service plumbing company in south Texas. To be frank I absolutely hated The New Flat Rate when I bought it for the first 2 weeks because I was unfamiliar and uninformed and then I did the implementation training days with Matt and I can tell you the day after the training I was in love with this system. I’ve had it for 3 weeks, started our average ticket was $655, now we are around $1,116. It’s a game changer.”

The Middle Child: Electrical

Next came Electrical. Like the middle child, Electrical brightened up our homes—literally! When electricity became widespread, it brought about a new era of convenience and safety. Electrical work is essential for every household. Rodney Koop, TNFR’s founder, is a master electrician himself, so this ‘middle child’ gets plenty of attention!

National Average Service Tickets for Electricians:

• Without The New Flat Rate: $375
• With The New Flat Rate: $1200

Here’s what a few electrical contractors have been saying about TNFR:

Anthony: “The New Flat Rate Team is great, the amount of support and the plans they help lay out is well worth it. I would recommend this system to any Electrical Contractor.”

Cosmin: “I’m glad I decided to join TNFR community. During our 2 days in-person training in Dalton, Georgia, we learned things that nobody else in the contracting industry teaches you. If you own an HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical business and don’t know why your profit is not as much as you thought it would be, I highly recommend you to get in touch with the folks at The New Flat Rate. This system does work if used properly!”

The Youngest: HVAC

Then, there’s HVAC, the youngest sibling. HVAC systems brought a new level of comfort, keeping us cool in summer and warm in winter. As the newest trade, HVAC often grabs more attention, like the youngest child in a family. It’s no surprise—HVAC is crucial for our daily comfort.

National Average Service Tickets for HVAC Contractors:

• Without The New Flat Rate: $275
• With The New Flat Rate: $950

Here’s what a few HVAC contractors have been saying about TNFR:

Jared: “HVAC & Plumbing Sales Increase! The New Flat Rate has helped streamline and put systems in place. Twelve months ago, we had 1 secretary (who was also the dispatcher) and 1 service tech. Today we have 8 service techs, 1 HR/Bookkeeper, 1 full-time in-house marketing guy, and we just hired our 3rd dispatcher this week in preparation of doubling in size this next 12 months. Be it the training or the support from the team, TNFR has put together a great company, and it’s hard to say our business would have grown as it has these past 12 months without TNFR in our corner. Thanks to all of you at TNFR!”

Keith: “Because of TNFR, 37 people have job security and can support their families. We have never had this many customers calling in or posting reviews bragging about how great of service they received,”
