Save More Plumbing & Lighting was founded in 1989 By Ram Bansal and Narottam Handa who are actually brothers-in-law. The company began with a 1600 square foot showroom on Kingsway in Vancouver.

The showroom has grown to 9,000 square feet and the company has added another showroom on 84th Ave in Surrey. The company achieved a solid reputation. Ram and Narottam were both new-comers to Canada with nothing but ambition and willingness to work hard when they opened the company. They worked up to 20 hours a day. They put time at the showroom, and then do their own service calls in the evening.

The company almost did not survive. In its first year co-owner, Ram Bansal suffered from a serious injury on a service call. But, he still managed to go to construction sites where he would meet contractors and home renovators striking conversation with them and building strong relationships. Even now, 20 years later, those contractors are still a strong part of Save More's clientele.
