What The Eco Plumbers does

The Eco Plumbers, legally operating as Eco Plumbers, Electricians, and HVAC Technicians, is a privately held, founder-led home services company headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio. Founded by Aaron Gaynor in 2007 after rebuilding from a prior commercial-plumbing bankruptcy, the company operates an integrated trade-services platform spanning four divisions: plumbing, drain and sewer, electrical, and heating and cooling (HVAC). It serves residential homeowners as the primary customer segment, with a secondary commercial segment, across four Ohio metro locations (Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Chillicothe) and 50+ surrounding service areas.

The company's core technology stack is intentionally modest and built around the trade-services workflow rather than a software platform. Proprietary components include the EcoFi Monitoring mobile app (basic HVAC and home-health telemetry) and the EcoFi Advantage subscription membership program (priority scheduling, 10% discounts, annual system checks, lifetime workmanship guarantee). Supporting products include financing programs, a BuyBack program for HVAC replacement units, and Eco Plumbers University, an in-house trades training program aimed at addressing skilled-labor supply. The company is licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky, indicating cross-state operational readiness.

The business model combines professional-services revenue (quote-based one-time work with upfront pricing guarantees) with subscription recurring revenue (EcoFi Advantage membership). GTM is direct-to-consumer, with customers booking via phone or website; same-day service is available. Marketing is multi-channel across website, Google reviews, BBB accreditation, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and TikTok, supplemented by a partnership with the Columbus Crew (MLS). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the company displays a '$$$' price range indicator and offers financing to reduce purchase friction. The company is bootstrapped (no external funding rounds disclosed) and operates without a parent company or institutional ownership.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Roto-Rooter: Largest US plumbing and drain cleaning franchise network. Eco Plumbers' drain cleaning and sewer services directly overlap with Roto-Rooter's flagship offerings, though Roto-Rooter operates nationally and is single-trade focused.
• One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning: National residential HVAC franchise whose AC/furnace/heat-pump service lines directly overlap with Eco Plumbers' heating and cooling division. Brand-equivalent service-guarantee positioning.
• Mister Sparky Electric: National residential electrical service franchise. Eco Plumbers' electrical division (panels, EV chargers, generators, lighting) directly overlaps with Mister Sparky's service offering.
• Benjamin Franklin Plumbing: National residential plumbing franchise with same on-time, upfront-pricing service guarantees Eco Plumbers markets. Comparable in customer segment and service model but national brand versus Eco Plumbers' regional positioning.
• Mr. Rooter Plumbing: Neighborly-owned plumbing franchise network directly overlapping Eco Plumbers' drain cleaning, sewer, and residential plumbing core. Broader geographic reach but single-trade.

Others

• HomeServe: Public home-services membership/warranty provider selling plumbing, HVAC, and electrical repair plans through utility partnerships. Adjacent business model to Eco Plumbers' EcoFi Advantage membership but distribution-led rather than delivery-led.

Direct peers

• ARS / Rescue Rooter: National multi-trade residential services company (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, drain). Closest direct comparable to Eco Plumbers' integrated service model, though operating at national scale versus Eco Plumbers' Ohio concentration.
• Coolray Heating & Cooling: Multi-trade residential HVAC/plumbing/electrical provider in the Southeast/Midwest with a comparable multi-service positioning and similar technician-based delivery model. Regional rather than national footprint, comparable in business model.
