N&S Supply

What N&S Supply does

N&S Supply LLC is a fourth-generation, family-operated distributor of plumbing, heating, and HVAC products serving the Hudson Valley of New York and Southeastern Connecticut. Founded in 1946 (with predecessor roots to the 1930s as Lou's New and Used) and headquartered in Fishkill, NY, the company operates seven physical service-counter locations and four N&S Bath Classics showrooms that pair trade counter sales for professional contractors with design-led retail consultation for homeowners and remodelers. Its product portfolio spans full-line plumbing supplies (pipes, fittings, valves, pumps, water treatment), heating equipment (boilers, burners, water heaters, radiant heat), HVAC equipment and accessories, and premium kitchen and bath fixtures from OEMs including Kohler, Delta, Brizo, Elkay, Newport Brass, Rohl, and Grohe.

The business generates revenue primarily through hardware sales at service counters and showrooms, complemented by $50 in-house delivery services (with a $250 minimum order), custom shower design consultation, and commercial credit accounts. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with co-marketing relationships with major manufacturers, contractor training events, and a Hero's Discount community program. Digital touchpoints include the company website, online account management, e-billing enrollment, Billtrust-integrated bill payment, and a cash-customer checkout portal.

N&S Supply is owned by Watsco, the largest U.S. HVAC distributor, which provides procurement scale and corporate resources while the Nussbickel family continues to operate the business. The company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no proprietary technology platform, and no public revenue figures; its strategic posture centers on regional density, premium showroom differentiation, and participation in New York State's Clean Heat Program for heat pump water heater rebates.
