Energy efficiency: It’s possible to achieve with your plumbing, too!

Energy efficiency: It’s possible to achieve with your plumbing, too!

We all know we can boost the energy efficiency of our homes by upgrading our appliances and heating and air-conditioning equipment, but did you know that plumbing fixtures could play a role, as well?

When choosing efficient plumbing products, look for the WaterSense label. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the WaterSense labeling program to help consumers identify products with high efficiency, and an independent third party performs certification.

Here are some plumbing fixtures to consider in your energy efficiency plan:

  • Showerheads. According to the EPA, showering makes about 17 percent — or 40 gallons per day — of residential water usage. A standard showerhead consumes about 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), while a water-saving showerhead with the WaterSense label will use, at most, 2.0 gpm. Over time, these savings will add up, and you'll see the savings in both your water-heating bill and your water bill.
  • Faucets. Standard faucets generally allow about 2.5 gpm or more to flow out. For energy efficiency, install a low-flow aerator on the kitchen and bathroom faucets. WaterSense products must achieve a flow rate at or below 1.5 gpm. Installing one will reduce the flow of water by around 30 percent.
  • High-efficiency toilets. Yes, there is such a thing. In fact, they've been around for a while. Early iterations of low-flow toilets saw problems with the removal of waste. The technology behind them has become smarter and more effective, however, and today's low-flow, high-efficiency toilets use just 1.28 gallons per flush, or even less.
  • Dual-flush toilets. These ultra efficient toilets have two flush buttons. The lowest-water option is best for eliminating liquid waste. For tougher jobs, use the higher-water flush.

Reducing water usage is a great way to conserve natural resources, and it's critical for drought-prone areas where water shortages are common.

If you'd like expert advice about reducing water usage and boosting your home's efficiency, an experienced plumbing service can help design a water-saving plan and suggest upgrades such as a tankless water heater to drive higher efficiency.

Friendly and punctual

Jason has come to my house three times. Each time he was friendly, punctual, and very clear about the cost of repairs and what kind of work was required. At every step he kept me informed. Outstanding service. Would definitely call on Rooterplus again.

Came through for me

I needed to service my septic tank prior to sodding my backyard. I called 2 other companies prior to RooterPLUS, Both showed up with equipment that couldn't do the job. With only a couple day window available, RooterPLUS came through for me the next morning with the right equipment and a professional and pleasant crew.

Doc and Kory assessed the situation and got right to work. They knew exactly what to do and completed the task perfectly. They explained everything throughout the process and pointed out potential issues as they worked. Everything was done to my complete satisfaction and I'll definitely use RooterPLUS in the future for my septic tank needs.

Neighborhood rockstars

We had an issue in my neighborhood where a water main pipe burst, leaving a giant mess of a leak spewing into the street. We called numerous plumbing companies who all said they couldn't get out in a timely manner. RooterPlus! said no problem, we'll be out asap.Josh came out, assessed the situation and said he had to go get some more supplies. He came back with the necessary supplies and got to work. And he worked and worked and worked from 6pm until 4:30 am! He had to call in reinforcements (Josh 2) and they worked hard as a team to repair the issue. Then they came back out only 5 hours later to put the finishing touches on the job.I think I speak for the entire neighborhood when we say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for being absolute rockstars and getting our neighborhood back up and running.
