Handy Financing for Plumbing Contractors Makes Funding Jobs Much Easier
A strong financing partner who can instantly deliver approvals for up to $100,000 ensures that you can quickly and easily offer the highest quality materials and installation to your customers. Using financing, your customers wont need to pinch pennies or cut corners, greatly lengthening the plumbing’s lifespan and eliminating the risk of leaks.
Covers Installation of Common Bathroom Fixtures
Installing major bathroom fixtures is one of the more profitable plumbing tasks your company might undertake. Installing new plumbing can cost $1,500 or more, a new shower anywhere from $1,200 to $5,500, a bathtub from $1,000 to $5,000, and upgrading to a tankless water heater to supply those bathing facilities can go up to $3,000. Backed by a high-quality finance partner ready to fund any project of $1,500 or more, installing any combination of these features is easily within reach for any homeowner.
Allows Your Clients to Choose You Rather than an Inferior Competitor
Plumbing tends to be expensive precisely because it needs a lot of skill, knowledge, licensing, and patience to be successful. Supported by a quality financing partner that offers good terms, you can win more clients by eliminating the need to make large up-front payments, instead offering the option to pay for projects in a low monthly fee. This allows your clients to obtain a premier job from your contracting business, without having to sacrifice quality.
Enhances Your Word-of-Mouth Referrals
A good source of new plumbing projects consists of word-of-mouth referrals, since practically anyone for whom you complete a plumbing contract will know someone else in need of plumbing work. The quality work you can do with financing, plus the painless, instant-approval application process, makes clients that much more likely to send referrals your way.

Plumbing Contractor Financing FAQ
Are Whole-House Water Filtration Systems Covered by Financing?
Whole-house water filtration systems are increasingly popular as a way to filter out chemicals, chlorine, heavy metals, and natural contaminants. Several of the options cost less than the $3,500 minimum loan amount from modern financing sources and thus won’t qualify unless they’re included in a larger plumbing project. Some filtration systems and their costs include:
- Activated carbon systems: $600 to $3,000
- Water softener systems: $1,500 to $3,000
- Electromagnetic Flow-Tech systems: $1,000 to $2,000
- Multi-stage whole-house filtration systems, non-reverse osmosis: $500 to $10,000 (most are less than $5,000, however)
One final type is the reverse osmosis system, which uses a membrane to block purify water, producing excellent taste and removing even the most stubborn toxins. A 400-to-500 gallon per day high-quality reverse osmosis system, can easily exceed $5,000. Financing can help clients pay for one of the most advanced, thorough filtration systems available today.
What are the Costs of Sump Pump Installation?
Installing a sump pump to prevent flooding and similar purposes is usually cheap enough not to require financing, with a national average around $1,200. Many factors can potentially push this higher, however. If the complete system, including the pump, drains, drain tiles, basin, and pipework needs to be installed, the price typically comes in higher, at $2,500 to $6,000. With very large basements or areas that require multiple sump pumps and extensive, complicated pipework, the cost can be anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000, or higher. In these instances, readily available low-cost financing supports a full installation that will prevent mold, mildew, and other moisture-related problems.
What Complexities may Exist in Sump Pump Installation?
Unlike installing a bathtub, shower, or toilet, full sump pump installation could require you to subcontract to other specialized contractors. An electrician may be needed to complete wiring work for the sump pump system, while other specialists might be needed for certain parts of the installation, such as excavating for exterior drainage features. If these expenses can be included as part of the main project, however, the same loan can be used to cover the whole job’s cost, and not just specific parts. With a modern financing company that cuts out contractor fees, you will get 100% of the job’s cost on installation and can easily and completely pay any needed subcontractors their share.

Why should I offer financing?
50% of all home improvement investments over $5,000 are financed. Additionally, over 30% of all homeowners research financing options before making a home improvement purchase. Offering financing enables you to close more sales and earn more money on every job. By translating a large, expensive home improvement into a low monthly payment, you’re less likely to lose sales because of pricing, and you’re less likely to see customers haggling with you over costs. Quite simply, offering financing can help you to grow your business.

Who is the lender?
While other finance companies serve as “middlemen” and take fees from you for allowing you to offer financing to your customers, PowerPay does not act as a middleman or lead generator. That’s why we are able to not charge any fees. We have funding commitments for $15 billion. Every borrower is approved through our systems and all loans are processed through our system. That means that we control the rate and loan term, and service every loan.
How complicated and time consuming is set up?

Our process is so simple that training takes less than 30 minutes. We can have you up and running and writing loans in one day.
Promotional Programs - the difference between PowerPay and other banks
There are several types of promotional loans. PowerPay offers two types. Same as Cash and 12 months and 18 months no payment promotions. First, PowerPay promotional loans are not credit cards. They are unsecured personal installment loans. The main difference between a credit card loan and PowerPay promotion is the interest rate once the promotion is over. In most credit card “teaser” promotions that rate, once the promotion ends, will be in excess of 29%. Our loans, once the promotion ends will be approximately 12.99% for 10 years with no prepayment penalties so customers can pay off whenever they like. We don’t like the credit card promotions because the fees are excessive and we’ve seen too many people get hit with accelerated payments and massive fees. It’s just unfair and most contractors don’t seem to care what the customer pays after they’ve completed their job.
With uncertainty in the economy and financial markets we believe that if a customer wants to use the promotion and then pay it over time, it should be at a fair and reasonable rate. Most contractors and dealers offer “teaser” promotions as a marketing tool but at the end of the day, only consumers will above-average credit qualify. PowerPay offers promotions for customers at many credit levels.
Our same as cash promotions essentially allow the customer to make a purchase and pay off the loan in equal monthly installments similar to how you purchase an iPhone. These programs are offered with the lowest fees in the industry. Ask your sales rep for more information.
