How green is your plumbing? While you may recycle paper, glass, aluminum and other materials, or drive a hybrid vehicle, leading a green lifestyle does not stop there. Your plumbing is another area where you can conserve natural resources and make a difference in the world. Here are some of the benefits of upgrading to green plumbing, both for the planet and your family.
- Reduce water waste. Not only is there a limited supply of fresh, clean water, creating and delivering water uses energy and depletes natural resources. Green plumbing fixtures and appliances use less water and help conserve this valuable resource for future generations.
- Lower your utility costs. By choosing green plumbing, you get the benefit of saving money on your utility bills. Options like tankless water heaters use less energy, saving you a significant amount on electricity or gas. Reduced water use can lower your water bill, or put less stress on your well or septic system for lower maintenance costs, all adding up to more money in your bank account each year.
- Added style. Upgrading faucets, washers and other fixtures to green options gives you a chance to update your home. New faucets and appliances not only can reduce waste and save you money, they can help stylize your bathroom, kitchen and utility rooms with a new look. Replace old or outdated plumbing fixtures with new trends that add value to your home and conserve on water.
There are many green plumbing options available on the market, from Energy Star appliances and fixtures, to tankless water heaters and low-flow toilets. Talk to your local plumber about how to make your home’s plumbing green and begin enjoying the benefits.
