Increase The Green Value Of Your Home With Eco-Fixtures
We're all trying to do our part in being more environmentally-friendly in our lives. Part of this is what we buy and where we put our money, and another part is our daily activities and choices. A great way to combine the two is by installing energy- and water-saving appliances at home. Not only is this a practical way to do your part, but over time these appliances and fixtures will save you money, too!
At The Super Plumber - Plumbing and Drain Services we've compiled a shortlist of some upgrade ideas you can install in your home and some information about what makes them special. We've been serving residents of Vancouver Island for 12 years helping with plumbing needs from emergency repairs to installing appliances to remodeling. We guarantee satisfaction for your plumbing needs 365 days-a-year.
Low-Flow Toilets
Also called high-efficiency toilets, they use less water per flush than old models, and the come in single flush or dual flush varieties. Toilets account for over a quarter of the water usage in your home. A low-flow toilet saves water use per-flush and the savings on your water bill can add up over time – up to a couple thousand dollars. The first wave of low-flows got a bad reputation because they didn't provide quite enough power and multiple flushes were needed. However, today's models have added flushing power with the dual-flush option for bigger jobs.
Low-Flow Shower Head
To imagine a shower that provides less water doesn't seem too appealing. But the name can be misleading. These shower heads provide just as much water pressure to your cleansing routine while using less volume of water. A second way these help is the energy savings from heating less water. It's also wise to take shorter showers to add to the savings.
Energy Saving Faucets
Installing motion sensor faucets can help reduce the amount of water used, and the water pressure is also regulated. This might not cut it for every faucet in your home, e.g., the kitchen, where higher water pressure is sometimes needed for heavy cleaning, but they're great for bathrooms.
Steam Washer/Dryers
These cleaning powerhouses clean your clothes, linens, and towels with the power of steam and use less water and energy to do so. The steam also penetrates dirt and stains better than a regular washer can.
Other Options
There are lots of other things you can do at home to be more eco-friendly, including LED light bulbs, all-natural products, and other energy-saving devices and electronics. Every little bit adds up, especially when we all move in the same direction.
