I am sick of customers thinking they are getting ripped off because they see the Honeywell thermostat I installed at Home Depot at a lower cost than I charge? Are there any other options out there?

                This can be a real problem for many the builder or contractor.  As many builders will actually build in the prices not only of the labor, but also of the loading and hauling of materials into the quote for a job, it’s really hard to have to explain to your customers why they see a price difference in any part of the building or remodeling process from what is in the store.
                Unless you specifically include a separate line on your invoices for these fees and services, you might be stuck having to explain to homeowner after homeowner why they see the stuff you install cheaper somewhere else.  Couple that with frequent sales at the retailers; the ability of homeowners to shop your materials online; and this can become a real pricing nightmare for any contractor or builder.
                The ability to purchase great thermostats at reasonable prices and not have to deal with customers shopping you around to every retailer out there is a great comfort provided by Pro1.  Pro1 sells their thermostats exclusively to the business professional, contractors and builders, and backs them all with fantastic warranties.
                No longer do you need to worry about how you need to price the thermostat, instead you can charge what you are comfortable charging for the product and not have to worry about facing an angry customer when they find out what you really paid for it.  Unfortunately it seems many customers don’t understand everyone has a need to make a living and the only way you the builder are going to be able to do this is to mark up the materials; with Pro1 thermostats, that problem has been solved.
                Now you might wonder are the Pro1 thermostats of good quality.  These thermostats are top of the line and are backed by the manufacturer with a full five year warranty.  There is seldom a need to order a replacement due to defects or stoppage in operation, allowing you to put your own warranty on the work as well.  With such a great backing by the company, you can be assured there won’t be a lot of free trips to homeowners to fix or replace their thermostats; thus keeping you working on new projects instead of having to visit old ones.
                As far as variety, Pro1 has that and then some.  With over 45 different variations of just thermostats you are sure to find one that will meet you client’s needs.  Whether you are building an entire new construction neighborhood or just an addition to a single home, Pro1 has what you need and allows you the flexibility of ordering in bulk, or just a single unit at a time.
                When was the last time you were able to put your name on a thermostat?  When you install products in homes or businesses, usually the only name on the product is that of the manufacturer forget the guy who installed it professionally, well not anymore.  With the PRO1 thermostats you can actually advertise your company so you are in the fore thought of your customers and potentially their friends.
                When a customer of yours is happy with the work you did, and maybe they are unable to remember your information to pass along to their dinner guests, or buddies who came over to watch the big game, you can now provide them a way to give your information right on the thermostat with the Pro1 Private Label Program.  Simply remove the magnetic Pro1 Company badge and replace it with your own newly printed magnetic badge and you have some great advertising.  Seldom do you see a company support the contractors in this way to provide them a way to advertise for themselves.
                Another small benefit to using the Pro1 thermostats is their Loyalty Points Program.  With this program all you have to do is mail in the box flaps from the thermostats and you earn points.  The prizes you can receive range from a sharp looking cap to a $50 gift card to Cabela’s or Best Buy.  How cool is that; just for using their products Pro1 will give you some fun prizes as well.

                With the Pro1 line of thermostats you as the business professional can really take care of your customers’ needs.  With a great line of products that is sure to please any homeowner, backed by their five year warranty, you can rest assured when the job is done, it is truly done and you will be able to take full advantage of the benefits of the Pro1 Private Label and Loyalty Points Programs.
