Selco Plumbing & Heating

Bath Showroom • Plumbing & Heating Supplies

Jeff Allen’s business philosophy is simple. When it comes to helping his customers, Jeff and his staff at Selco Plumbing & Heating Supply in Lewiston bend over backwards to please them. Selco, which sells everything from faucets to sinks to vanities to whirlpool baths to heaters, has gained a reputation among its customers for outstanding service.
“We know our products,” said Jeff, who became involved with this business in 1990 and is now the sole owner. He wants to take the mystery and stress out of do-it-yourself projects.
“If a customer buys a product from us, we’ll show them step by step how to install it.” In fact, Selco provides one-stop shopping for the homeowner and contractor who wants to tackle a home improvement project. Besides a host of plumbing and heating supplies, Selco is the home of the “flush-up” toilet. Unlike some stores where customers are limited to the choices on the shelves, special orders are no problem at Selco.
Worried about putting in a faucet? No need, as Jeff and his staff will gladly explain how to install it. Intimidated by the thought of spending hours putting together a bathroom vanity? Selco offers free assembly on its vanities.
Selco also emphasizes product quality. “We can sell you a nice quality whirlpool for $1,000, or we can sell you one for $7,000,” Jeff said. Presently, Selco has several whirlpools on display for your selection.
Selco stands behind its products. A higher quality product will cost a customer less in the long run, not only in terms of money, but also inconvenience and aggravation.
This willingness to back up its merchandise has made Selco a popular place among local plumbing and heating contractors. Selco also carries a multitude of product lines, featuring the best brand names in the plumbing and heating industry – Mansfield, Aquatic, Monitor and Rinnai.
Because Selco is independently owned, it allows them to stock a wide variety of brands. “We can special order anything you want. While some stores will sell only a certain brand, we’re not limited to any particular brand,” Jeff said. The result is a greater choice for customers.
One trend growing in popularity is radiant heat. Although the method has been around for a number of years, it’s starting to become more common in Maine, Jeff said.
A radiant heating system is made up of tubes filled with water. The tubes, which are mounted underneath or on top of the floor or in cement, radiate warmth once the water is heated.
Radiant heat offers several advantages. First, it eliminates cold floors. Second, it’s more efficient because it allows the boiler to run at a lower temperature. It’s a feature that’s being installed more and more in new homes and renovations throughout Maine.
