Burkell Plumbing, Inc. Comparative Summary

Heating and air conditioning companies are always looking for ways to discern themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Burkell Plumbing utilizes its employees’ vast amounts of experience to stay successful and stand out in its industry. “We have four plumbers who’ve worked here for more than 15 years and two HVAC technicians who’ve been here more than 10 years,” says co-owner Jake Newman. “In the plumbing and heating fields, we probably have the most experienced technicians in Marin County.”

Another distinguishing attribute of Burkell Plumbing is the emphasis it places on employee training. The company’s HVAC specialists receive yearly training to stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in electronic equipment and air filtration and solar systems, and its plumbing technicians receive regular training upgrades on tankless water heaters, boiler systems, radiant heat systems and more. “Our employees are all factory-trained,” says Mr. Newman. “They’re constantly being updated on new products and techniques.”

Unlike many companies in the HVAC and plumbing industries, Burkell Plumbing implements a variety of Green business practices designed to minimize its impact on the environment and save its customers money on their energy bills. In addition to recycling all the materials it removes from homes and businesses, the company installs high-end brands of forced air furnaces, tankless water heaters and other systems known for their energy efficiency, craftsmanship and durability. It’s also a proud member of Green Plumbers USA, an organization that trains plumbers to deliver conservation products and services to consumers and assist them in monitoring their water and energy consumption.
