Bradford White Corporation to showcase advanced water heating solutions at PHCC CONNECT 2025

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:35:03 +0000

A limited number of industry pros attending the popular trade show in Grand Rapids, MI will also have the opportunity to tour the trusted manufacturer’s nearby manufacturing facility in Middleville

Bradford White Corporation, a leading manufacturer of water heating and storage products, will showcase its latest innovations at the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) CONNECT 2025 conference, taking place Oct. 27-30 at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

PHCC CONNECT is an annual marquee event for plumbing and HVAC professionals, bringing together contractors, manufacturers and industry leaders for education and networking opportunities.

This year’s conference theme, “Growth Through Collaboration,” reflects Bradford White’s own commitment to supporting and partnering with contractors in the plumbing and HVAC spaces. In conjunction with PHCC CONNECT, the company will host industry pros on exclusive tours of its nearby manufacturing facility and its industry-leading, LEED Gold certified International Technical Excellence Center (iTEC®) in Middleville, MI. These experiences will provide contractors with an inside look at Bradford White’s American manufacturing operations and its commitment to workforce education and training.

“Our investment in manufacturing, training and technology reflects our belief that when pros succeed, the entire industry grows stronger,” said Neal Heyman, senior director of marketing for Bradford White Corporation. “PHCC CONNECT provides us with an opportunity to engage with those pros directly, and to show them first-hand evidence of how we’re investing in their success.”

In addition to these site visits, Bradford White will also demonstrate cutting-edge products at Booth No. 401 on the convention center floor. Representatives from Bradford White will conduct live demonstrations of its newest technology, including the AeroTherm® G2 heat pump water heater and the Infiniti® GS tankless water heater. Both products showcase the company’s dedication to delivering energy efficient, high-performance solutions that help contractors meet evolving customer needs.

Bradford White’s presence at the conference will also encompass live demonstrations from FloLogic, a leading provider of smart leak detection technology, as well as opportunities to connect with the company’s partnering social media influencers/brand ambassadors.

“At Bradford White, we understand that consumer choice is more salient than ever,” said Heyman. “Part of our job is empowering professionals to meet customers where they are, and to provide them with a range of high-quality solutions that address different needs and applications.”

Homebuilders, Remodelers Urged to “Prepare with Propane” Amid Growing Energy Reliability Concerns

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:26:33 +0000

With blackouts on the rise, National Propane Day underscores propane’s value in keeping homes powered and secure

As concern for energy reliability surges nationwide, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is marking the fourth annual National Propane Day on October 7 by encouraging builders to explore propane as a powerful tool for meeting today’s home energy challenges. This year’s theme, “Prepare with Propane,” highlights the critical role it plays in supporting more resilient, energy-independent homes.

Today’s builders and remodelers are being asked to deliver homes that meet modern energy demands while also battling high costs, climate change, and the challenges of adopting new technologies with outdated infrastructure. Propane addresses these challenges head-on as an affordable, sustainable, versatile, and efficient energy source. From whole-home backup power and space heating to high-performance cooking, hot water, and laundry appliances, propane ensures homeowners are better prepared for the future.

“The home is often our most expensive purchase and our most valuable asset,” said Bridget Kidd, chief operating officer at PERC. “The last few years have shown us that preparing for the unexpected is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity. That’s why it’s so important for builders to have early conversations with their clients about energy choices. Propane offers a dependable, on-site solution that gives homeowners the security, comfort, and peace of mind that the lights will stay on, no matter what.”

A recent report from the U.S. Department of Energy warns that blackouts in the United States could increase 100-fold by 2030 as electricity demand outpaces grid capacity. Builders who incorporate propane-powered systems — such as backup generators, space and water heating, cooking appliances, and more — are giving homeowners added protection against the real and rising risk of outages.

Propane generators provide near-instant backup power, kicking in within seconds of an outage to keep critical systems like HVAC, lighting, safety alarms, and refrigeration running. Because propane is stored on site and doesn’t degrade over time, it remains ready when other energy sources are offline.

Builders can also increase whole-home resilience by combining propane appliances with a standby generator, creating layered protection while reducing the size and cost of the generator. With more homes affected by outages each year, propane offers an efficient way to add lasting value through energy security.

Beyond resilience, propane also gives builders a powerful market advantage. PERC’s Propane Construction Research Program provides financial incentives for builders and remodelers who install propane appliances and share installation data. In 2024, program participation reduced carbon emissions by 35% per project while also lowering utility bills for thousands of homeowners. For builders, the result is stronger research, satisfied customers, and a meaningful competitive edge. Builders can learn more at propane.com/pcrp.

National Propane Day is also an opportunity to celebrate the ways propane helps homeowners prepare for and enhance everyday living. Whether it’s gathering around a propane fireplace, cooking in an outdoor kitchen, or enjoying reliable hot water during family holidays, propane supports the experiences that make a house feel like home. For builders, it’s one more way to deliver lasting value by offering energy systems that not only perform in a crisis but also elevate daily living.

From critical backup power to everyday comfort, propane’s versatility helps prepare homeowners for the unexpected and enhances the moments that matter most. To learn more about how propane can support your next project, visit propane.com/residential.

Navien Donates to Support Kerr County Flood Relief Efforts Through The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 10:23:10 +0000

In the wake of the devastating flooding that swept through Kerr County over the July 4^th holiday weekend, Navien, in partnership with their Texas area sales representative, Champions Marketing, has donated $50,000 to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund through The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. The contribution will directly support local recovery and rebuilding efforts for the residents, small businesses, and infrastructure affected by the disaster.

During the flooding, central Texas, particularly Kerr County, located north of San Antonio, was hit hard by torrential rainfall and the overflow of the Guadalupe River. As of July 10, 2025, the storm had resulted in at least 96 confirmed deaths, including 36 children, with more than 160 individuals still reported missing. The federal government declared a state of emergency, and the region faces a long road to recovery.

“We’ve seen an incredible outpouring of generosity in the days since the flood, and we so appreciate that spirit of giving,” said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. “Recovery doesn’t happen quickly, and for many, the path forward feels uncertain. That’s why sustained collaboration and commitment are so important. We are proud to work alongside so many local partners to ensure help reaches individuals, families and small businesses, not just today, but in the months to come.”

Navien’s COO, Darren Sheehan, and Navien’s local Sales Rep President, Hunter Gordon, visited the local office of the Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country to present the cash donation. In addition to the financial contribution, Navien also plans to donate high-efficiency water heaters to aid in community rehabilitation and housing recovery efforts.

Employment Growth in the Construction Industry

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 11:11:38 +0000

Check out more from our sponsor, Viega.

Diving into the numbers

This week, we’re going to dive into the numbers. If there was a silver lining from COVID, it was the renewed vigor for the trades. College enrollment experienced a significant decline during the pandemic, and it still lags behind pre-pandemic numbers. According to a resource called Construction Coverage, from 2020 to mid-2022, a booming housing market fueled by low interest rates and pandemic-driven migration trends led to a surge in residential construction.

As demand for housing cooled in response to rising interest rates in late 2022, nonresidential construction took the lead. Large-scale investments in infrastructure and manufacturing have since fueled steady job growth, even amid broader economic uncertainties. However, despite this momentum, the industry faces significant challenges in the coming years. Persistent inflation, high interest rates, and the potential for new tariffs on imports could raise costs for builders. Additionally, changes in federal funding priorities could slow investment in clean energy and infrastructure projects.

Employment Growth

Despite these headwinds, recent projections from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggest that construction employment will continue to grow at a rate exceeding the national average over the next decade, https://www.bls.gov

Take a look here first of the overall construction employment numbers, and then take a look at the numbers for women in construction.
