Why Choose Eco-Friendly Plumbing?

Statistics prove that sustainable plumbing upgrades and water-saving fixtures significantly reduce both water usage and energy consumption, making them a very real advantage in today’s world.

Going green doesn’t have to be a stressful process, either. Caldwell Plumbing specializes in helping homeowners integrate eco-conscious solutions into their renovations. Now more than ever, it’s possible to align your dream design preferences with environmental standards. 

Top Water-Saving Fixtures for Your Renovation

What water-saving fixtures can you implement right now to slash your energy consumption? Let’s take a look:

Low-Flow Faucets and Showerheads

Low-flow faucets and showerheads reduce water flow by up to 50%. We know what you’re thinking: won’t that reduce water pressure? These fixtures use aerators to maintain strong water pressure, so you won’t notice a difference! Low flows are also cost-effective and easy to install.

Dual-Flush and Low-Flow Toilets

Did you know that toilets account for nearly 30% of a home’s water usage? You can lower that amount with dual-flush and low-flow models. Dual-flush toilets offer two flushing options (depending on the waste type), while low-flow models use less than 1.28 gallons per flush!

Water-Efficient Dishwashers and Sinks

There are tons of modern, affordable dishwasher and sink models designed to use less water. Incorporating these eco-friendly plumbing products into your next renovation can drastically reduce your overall water and energy consumption!

Sustainable Plumbing Upgrades for Long-Term Savings

Water-saving fixtures can reduce your water consumption, but beyond that, there are other sustainable plumbing upgrades which can enhance your home’s overall efficiency:

Tankless Water Heaters

Whereas traditional hot water tank systems store hot water, tankless water heaters heat water on demand. This reduces energy consumption and provides an endless supply of hot water. Win-Win!

Pipe Insulation and Leak Detection

Insulating your pipes is one of the best ways to reduce heat loss and save big on your bills. Likewise, you can prevent water wastage by detecting leaks early and booking regular maintenance checks with Caldwell Plumbing!
