Plumbing And Water And Energy Saving Solutions

Water is an expensive commodity which we take for granted. By using appropriate energy saving fixtures when renovating or replacing plumbing fixtures you can save a considerable amount of money. So, what is a water saving fixture? The most common fixture most people are aware of is the dual flush toilets. Single flush toilets are not available for purchase in N.S.W. any more and that’s for obvious reasons. Anyone who has purchased an older property in Sydney’s inner west would be wise to replace their single flush toilet with a dual flush toilet. Over the life of the toilet this could save you thousands of dollars down the track in water bills if you act now.

Shower heads are another way water can be saved. By using shower heads which regulate water flow and temperature, households can also save a significant amount of money. Another consideration would be to install a rain water tank if you have room in your property for the tank. Most people living in areas where town water is not available will understand how precious water is and are already in the habit of trying to preserve water. Rain water tanks can be installed in urban environments very successfully and can be used for both drinking and irrigation. Think about how you are looking after our environment and saving money too. Alternatively if you have a “rural” property within the Sydney basin 888 Plumbing Solutions can assist with this too. Ensuring your dam water is pumped to where you need it can be easily organised by our plumbing team. This can save you money in buying water in and assist in helping you to look after your acreage needs. We can also offer detailed advice on irrigation systems and how to pump water to irrigate your gardens and ensure that your precious vegetables and flowers are well nourished.

Hydronic floor heating is another energy saving method. By using hot water to circulate through a slab via your hot water service or solar panels. Think about this in winter when your floor is freezing. No slippers required with this one! This can also be used to heat your pool so you can swim all year round.
