Plumbing News: Whatis the Hot Water Division ofMurray Supply Companyand how did it come intobeing?

Joseph Roche: The hotwater division was the brain-child of our COO, GeorgeYezbak, who thought themarket would benefit fromtaking an employee andsolely devoting them to thearea of hot water, whether itwas a water heater, boiler orexpansion tank so that ourcustomer would have onepoint of contact to take careof all of their needs in thatone area. We have peoplein the market who special-ize in valves, or fixtures ormany other items but this isone area we felt could usesome attention.

Plumbing News: Howhas the reception beenwithin the marketplace sofar?

Joseph Roche: We havebeen pleasantly surprisedwith the amount of attentionthis program has brought usto this point, although weare only two years into theprogram we feel as if we arebecoming known as the “goto” place in the market forthe products we have beenproviding. The affiliationwith A.O. Smith has been in-valuable for us because itprovides us with instantname recognition and cred-ibility to our customers, any-one in the market is familiarwith the name and under-stands the quality that it con-veys.

Plumbing News: Whatare the facets of the pro-gram that you have put intoplace to make this work?

Joseph Roche: Thebiggest things we havedone is allowing the custom-ers a 24/7 phone numberthat they can call to getquestions answered or geta quote or purchase aheater if the situation callsfor it, in the Raleigh Apexmarket we offer 24/7 deliv-ery on our commercial prod-uct line as well as lift gatetrucks, stair climbers andother tools to make thingseasier on them. We alsohave recently added a12,000 square foot ware-house full of nothing butwater heaters to make sureto satisfy the inventoryneeds of our customers.
