It's National Cut Your Energy Costs Day!  What better way to start the year than with lower energy use and in turn, a lower monthly utility bill?  These tips will help you keep energy costs low, while improving your home plumbing system.

Plumbing Efficiency Tips:

• Fix Leaky Faucets - A dripping faucet is more than a common household annoyance, it can also be wasting water in your home.  Save money and water by fixing these leaky faucets early on.  If left alone, faucet leaks can also lead to excessive wear and tear on your faucet and your sink.  Keep your plumbing fixtures longer by fixing small problems early on!
• Install a Low-Flow Shower Head - Higher efficiency shower heads use less water per minute.  While you'll still enjoy a comfortable shower pressure and flow, you can also save on yur monthly energy bills by reducing demand on your water heater.
• Go Tankless - Tankless water heaters heat water when you need it.  This means that you aren't wasting energy storing hot water in your basement.  Instead, water is heated as it is needed.
• Perform Water Heater Maintenance - If you have a standard water heater in your home, make sure that your water heater is in good condition and is heating water efficiently.  If your system is outdated or is not working efficiently, you could be wasting energy.
