Making Your Plumbing Eco-Friendly

Although standard plumbing is effective and efficient for modern homes, it is not necessarily the most ideal option for people interested in bettering the environment. Unfortunately, most standard plumbing fixtures use more water and energy than they need to, which results in unnecessarily higher bills and energy consumption. 

More and more homeowners are trying to switch to eco-friendly plumbing methods to help contribute to a better environment. With help from a professional plumber in Temecula, CA from A.M. Plumbing & Rooter, you can make your plumbing eco-friendly in these simple ways:

1. Water-Saving Toilets

Running toilets and standard toilets make up between 30-40 percent of the home’s water usage. Toilets are one of many appliances in the home that you use and rely on every day, so it’s wise to target those areas first. Talk to a professional plumbing company about making the switch to a water-saving toilet to make your bathroom plumbing more eco-friendly.

2. Take Care of Leaks

Every leak in your home and plumbing system can waste gallons of water without you even knowing it. This includes leaky faucets, pipes, toilets, and more. Unexplained spikes in your water bill could be a sign that you have a leak somewhere. Consider scheduling plumbing services to get your home inspected for leaks.

3. Change Your Water Heater

Old water heaters have tanks that use lots of energy to keep water warm where it is stored. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, can warm the water up as you use it, giving you easy access to hot water at all times. This saves energy, time, and stress in the end. Consider getting professional plumbing repairs if this is an issue for you.
