Energy-Efficient Plumbing Upgrades That Save Money

Your plumbing affects both your water and energy bills. A handful of upgrades can pay for themselves over time while making your home more comfortable and eco-friendly.

Low-flow fixtures

Modern low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets use significantly less water without sacrificing performance. They're inexpensive and cut water use immediately.

Tankless water heater

By heating water only on demand, a tankless unit eliminates the standby energy loss of keeping a tank hot 24/7 — a meaningful saving over its long lifespan.

Insulate hot water pipes

Wrapping hot-water pipes reduces heat loss, so water arrives hot faster and the heater works less. It's one of the cheapest efficiency upgrades available.

Fix leaks promptly

The most cost-effective upgrade is simply fixing drips and running toilets. A single leak can waste thousands of gallons a year.

Recirculation pump

A hot-water recirculation system delivers hot water to your taps almost instantly, reducing the water you waste waiting for it to warm up.

Smart controls

Programmable water-heater controls and leak-detection devices prevent waste and catch problems early, protecting both your bills and your home.
