McKinstry Plumbers Certified Green
Seattle, WA (1/20/10) – Everyday McKinstry continues to live up to its reputation as a national model for how a business can integrate sustainability into every aspect of its operations. From LEED Gold facilities to providing important thought-leadership on creating jobs for the burgeoning clean energy economy, McKinstry has been on the cutting edge of what can only be called a sustainable revolution.
Now, the service arm of the company is taking it one step further, arming its plumbers and pipefitters with GreenPlumbers Accreditation. To become certified GreenPlumbers, candidates must undergo 32-hours of training in such subjects as climate and water care, solar hot water, water efficient technologies, and more.
In a challenging economy, owners are looking for innovative ways to save energy and protect their assets. GreenPlumbers certification represents one more avenue for McKinstry to deliver the quality of service that saves clients energy and money, while earning their continued loyalty and satisfaction.
“The GreenPlumbers training provides our plumbers with the necessary tools and resources to present multiple solutions to help our clients save water, energy and money,” states Bob Frey, McKinstry’s VP of Service.
