Modern plumbing upgrades can dramatically cut water and energy use without sacrificing comfort. Here are smart improvements for an efficient, eco‑friendly home.
1) WaterSense® Fixtures
Low‑flow showerheads and faucets deliver great performance while using up to 40% less water. We can recommend models that balance comfort and conservation.
2) Dual‑Flush or High‑Efficiency Toilets
Dual‑flush systems use only the water you need, reducing consumption per flush and lowering your bill.
3) Tankless Water Heaters
On‑demand heaters provide endless hot water and can reduce energy use compared to traditional tanks. They also save space and last longer.
4) Smart Leak Detection
Whole‑home monitors track flow and alert you to leaks in real time—often before damage occurs. Some systems can automatically shut off water.
5) Fix Existing Leaks
Even small drips add up. Proactive repairs to faucets, toilets, and irrigation lines deliver instant savings.
6) Hot Water Recirculation
Recirc systems reduce the wait for hot water and can save thousands of gallons annually, especially in larger homes.
Local Rebates & Incentives
Depending on availability, local utilities occasionally offer rebates for high‑efficiency fixtures and heaters. We’ll help you navigate options when applicable.
