After just a year working in the field as a project manager, we had an opening as a lead estimator. We offered this position to Grant knowing that he also had great people skills. We taught him the art of estimating, and he doing extremely well pricing out projects for customers. We are very happy to have him as part of the team.

    Nick joined Legacy Decks in 2017 after avoiding risk in the insurance industry. Now he feels the only thing koi about a backyard should be a pond. He loves thinking outside the box by designing curved decks. The only thing he loves more than bent boards is a bent rod on the river as he and his wife both enjoy escaping to the river to fly fish with their 2 dogs.

    PHCC San Diego Trades Expo 2/1/25 RSVP HEREMISSION & VISION

    Our Commitment to Our Contractors is Everything

    The heart of the San Diego PHCC chapter beats at the same pulse as our original founders, and even now, more than a century later, the importance and excitement of the PHCC mission have not been diluted. That mission is to advance and educate the plumbing and HVACR industry for society's health, safety, and comfort and to protect the environment.​

    Tradesmen that elect to join their local PHCC commit to the collective values of trust, integrity, and service that our chapter has become known for. When you see a technician with a PHCC patch, you know you are working with skilled tradesmen you can trust.

    Today, the Academy stands strong and steadfast with terrific staff, an improved curriculum, and a growing number of hands-on labs. The PHCC of San Diego Academy continues to add programs based on the needs of the industry, like the Back-flow Certification. Efforts also extend beyond the classroom, with an increased focus on community outreach specifically to San Diego County Agencies, high schools, and the military. Our office can also act as a recruiter for individuals seeking employment in the P-H-C industry. We do our best to match individuals to members based on their location, experience and initiative.

    Our History

    During the 1880’s, the transition from outhouses to indoor plumbing was moving at a rapid pace, starting with better homes and commercial buildings. The burgeoning market for indoor plumbing spurred some gasfitters and other metal workers to specialize in this work.

    The true craftsmen sought ways to distinguish those who knew what they were doing from those who didn’t. In 1882, a group of these new tradesmen in New York City banded together to form the Master Plumbers Association of New York. Shortly afterward, a like-minded group joined forces in Brooklyn.

    In 1883, the 125 members of the New York group formed the National Association of Master Plumbers (NAMP) to provide the public with a complete, safe and sanitary plumbing system. NAMP was the forerunner of the National Association of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors (NAPHCC), which in 1962 became the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors National Association (PHCC).

    The association has evolved over time, always upholding the standards that advance the industry and protect public health and safety. Today, PHCC continues its tradition of excellence by providing the best education, advocacy and connections to help its North American network of professionals strengthen their businesses—now and in the future.
