What Smithfield Plumbing & Heating Supply does

Smithfield Plumbing & Heating Supply Company, Inc. is a privately held regional wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, and HVAC supplies headquartered in Greenville, Rhode Island. Operating under the corporate name and the DBA 'Smithfield Supply,' the company serves plumbing and HVAC contractors across New England from five physical locations — the Greenville corporate office and warehouse, a Twin Mountain NH sales/warehouse branch, a New Hampton NH sales office, an Intervale NH sales office, and the 'Your Kitchen & Bath' retail showroom on Austin Avenue, Greenville. Founded in 1976 and operating continuously for over 45 years, the company carries 100+ manufacturer brands spanning high-efficiency condensing boilers (Triangle Tube Instinct, Viessmann Vitodens, HTP Elite, Buderus), conventional and specialty boilers (Buderus, Laars, Slant-Fin), indirect and electric water heaters (SuperStor, Laars, AWH), furnaces, and a broad assortment of piping, fittings, valves, and pumps.

The business operates a hybrid distribution and service model. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional wholesale and retail product sales to contractors and homeowners via counter sales at branches, inside sales via phone and fax, online ordering through the FASTWEB e-commerce platform (DDI System's Inform e-Commerce, accessed at access.smithfieldsupply.com), and the Your Kitchen & Bath showroom. Pricing is not publicly listed and is finalized at order time, with credit terms available to business and government accounts. Layered on top of distribution is a contractor services suite — radiant design, boiler sizing, job take-offs, heat-loss calculations, A/C sizing, bid packaging, water quality analysis, and kitchen/bath design — plus an Emergency Commercial Water Heater Program. Manufacturer relationships are concentrated with Triangle Tube, Viessmann, Buderus, Laars, SuperStor, Slant-Fin, and HTP as authorized distributor partnerships, supplemented by memberships in regional trade associations including the RI Master Plumbers Association, NAHB, and the New England Plumbing, Gas & Mechanical Inspectors Association.
