You want to do your part to live a green lifestyle, conserving energy and reducing waste. One of the most valuable natural resources we have is clean, fresh water. It is easy to take this resource for granted when it flows so freely into your home. However, there are ways to reduce water waste by upgrading to green plumbing in your home.
Green Plumbing Upgrades
Water efficiency is not only good for the environment, it can also be a way to save money off your utility bills. Using less water and heating less water both can save money every month, plus it is a great way to do your part to conserve natural resources. To upgrade your plumbing to a greener approach, here are a few ideas:
– Faucets and showerheads. Start with the small fixtures that are inexpensive to replace. Water efficient faucets and showerheads can reduce your water usage by gallons per day.
– Efficient toilets. You are literally flushing money down the toilet if you have an older, inefficient toilet. New models like WaterSense can save 4,000 gallons of water a year while performing as good, or better, than older models.
– Water heaters. Do you still have a tank water heater that keeps water hot 24/7, wasting energy? Upgrade to the greener option of a tankless or on demand model, saving you up to 50% less energy for hot water.
Almost all water appliances and fixtures now come in water efficient models that can reduce the waste in your home. To get a green plumbing makeover, talk to your local green plumber to discuss replacing your toilets, water heaters and other water appliances with more efficient options.
