Wi-Fi technology has paved the way for many improvements in our lives, but especially in our homes. From smart thermostats to connected refrigerators, the smart home offers substantial enhancements for comfort, convenience, and quality of life. Now, Wi-Fi is improving a vital part of our homes: the water heater.
The landscape surrounding water heaters is constantly evolving. With new options ranging from tankless to hybrid, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments. New regulations, electrification, and new government rebates further complicate the environment for the professionals who sell, install, and maintain water heaters.
Guidance from a knowledgeable partner can help you navigate these changes. Nick Snell, the Director of Plumbing Sales at F.W. Webb Company, says it’s important to work with a supplier that understands the changing marketplace and provides a full range of water heaters that suits the needs of every customer.
“Since 1866, F.W. Webb has been proud to develop partnerships that benefit everyone involved—from one-van contractors to large industrial clients and the manufacturers that diligently work to offer the latest in product innovation,” says Snell.
Snell is thrilled to announce that F.W. Webb Company is now partnering with Rheem to offer innovative water heater solutions, including many enabled with Wi-Fi capabilities.
Much like F.W. Webb, Rheem has a long history of providing quality products to professionals and contractors. Established by Richard and Donald Rheem almost 100 years ago, Rheem started large-scale production of water heaters in 1930. Over time, Rheem has become North America’s largest producer of water heating products.
“We look forward to connecting Rheem’s manufacturing capacity with F.W. Webb’s distribution network. We can proudly say that we’re the largest wholesale distributor of plumbing products across the Northeast,” says Snell.
“Rheem has been at the forefront of the latest technology with an ever-expanding number of innovations for residential water heaters,” Snell continues. “Combined with the expertise of our world-class team, F.W. Webb perfectly complements Rheem, and we’ll help plumbing professionals get the appropriate model and accessories for every job.”
The F.W. Webb and Rheem partnership means professionals now have better access to technology such as Wi-Fi connectivity. Below are some of the key features that make Rheem stand out above the competition and address many customer concerns.
