Great Service and Value

The first thing on any homeowner’s mind when going green is cost. The truth is you might end up spending less by going green with your plumbing than going a more conventional route. Maybe your initial cost might be slightly higher, but in the long run, you’ll save by reducing energy costs and water consumption. Consider it an investment in your home. We live in a “gotta have it now world,” but in this case, you’re almost guaranteed to see your green plumbing pay for itself over a short period. 

It’s Not Just About Saving A few Bucks; It’s About our Future

Saving a few bucks on utility bills is only part of the equation. Let me give you an example: green plumbing can provide cleaner water, provide you and your family with a healthier home, and conserve our precious water resources. We often look at the here and now, but we need to take on a new perspective and start thinking about the future of the next generation. We often look at the big picture and get overwhelmed, but in reality, it’s more about each person doing their part to give our children and grandchildren a better place to live.

Murrieta Plumbing Company For Energy Efficient Home Inspection

So, where do we start? Below are a few tips that will get your mind moving in the right direction regarding green plumbing. Remember, you don’t need to tackle every issue at one time. Start with low-flow showerheads, toilets, and faucets. Then slowly move on to washers, dishwashers, and water heaters. Make Sure all Your Pipes are Properly Insulated – Pipes on the exterior walls can experience significant heat loss as the water moves from your hot water heater to your faucet. Not only will properly insulated pipes cut down on the time it takes to warm your water it will also save you more on your utility costs.

Have a New Energy Saving Hot Water Heater Installed

Did you know that heating your hot water can account for as much as 15% of your total home energy cost? You can save big by installing a new high-efficiency water heater if your water heater has already run its course, out with the old and in with the new. Why wait till it completely shuts down?

Install Low Flow Shower Heads and Faucets

This may come as a surprise, but low-flow shower heads and faucets can reduce your water consumption by as much as 60%. Less hot water means less energy, good for the environment, and good for your bank account. Low-flow shower heads are perfect if you have teenagers in the house who can’t get out of the shower in a timely manner. 

Have New Low Flush Toilets Installed

Nothing consumes more water in your home than flushing a toilet. Each person, on average, will use 28 gallons of water per day just by flushing. Most people think low-flow toilets don’t provide enough water flow and pressure to get everything down. That’s not the case; low-flow toilets use two to five times less water per flush than old conventional toilets and are designed to do a better job removing solid waste. 

Energy Efficient Appliances Can Use 50% Less Water

By installing energy-saving efficient cloth washers and dishwashers, you can reduce your water consumption in these appliances by up to 50%. Our government has taken some of the guesswork out of choosing an appliance. Look for the Energy Star label on all appliances. 

Make An Educated Decision When Buying A New Appliance

Our goal is to equip you with the tools to make educated decisions when purchasing a new appliance. I intend to have these energy-saving tips on the forefront of your mind. When an appliance has seen its day and is ready to be replaced, think about this:

  • Invest in our environment and make sure your new appliance has the Energy Star Label
  • Invest in a quality green plumbing appliance. It will save you money in the long and short run
  • If everyone did their small share, we would have a better planet
  • Even the small things you do, such as installing new energy-efficient showerheads and faucets, will make a difference

Outstanding work, work-ethic, and installation of a new sink in our home. The service was terrific, and Garret as the on-site rep installing the sink made a tough job seem easy, with great respect to our expectations and precision.

WOW I am impressed with the service given by this company! I have dealt with many flakey contractors lately.

The gentleman was on time, professional, and didn't charge me an "arm and a leg" for his services. Murrieta Plumbing company will...
