SNARSCA / Southwest Gas 
Referral Program Explained

Special to The Construction Zone

"We have 340,000 work orders a year, and we just can’t keep up," said Bill Laub, Jr., of Southwest Gas, at the September SNARSCA meeting. Laub serves as a director for SNARSCA, and helped design the new referral program in which the gas company will refer customers requesting certain services to SNARSCA. The calls will go to an answering service, and the customer given the names of three SNARSCA member contractors to help with their service needs.

Laub drew a distinction between the new program and Southwest Gas’ long running "Energy Services Referral Program." That program was open to non-SNARSCA members while the new referral program is geared to members of the association.
