How to Make Your Home Energy Efficient This Spring
There are many ways that someone may think about making their home energy efficient.
They may add solar panels to their roof, think about buying new windows or better insulation, or there are even those thinking of adding gardens to their roofs to save on heat and cooling costs. The one thing that people do not think about is plumbing.
Water Costs Money
Because Water usually only costs a consumer anywhere between 70-140 dollars a month, no one really thinks about cutting back on this cost. However, it’s not just about the money.
If one were to look at the crisis in California, you may start to think a little bit more about water as a whole, and how much water prices might go up.
Energy-Efficient Fixtures
One of the best ways to reduce the amount of water being wasted, and perhaps even reduce the waste your wallet feels is by using an energy-efficient fixture.
Everyone has seen those automatic faucets in a gas station or restaurant bathroom, but no one really seems to find them in someone’s home.
This can change, and not only will it reduce the amount of water you waste. It will also make your home look cutting edge! Using more efficient toilets is 
even more beneficial.
In most toilets, when one flushes, you are using 2.5 gallons of water because of the way the toilet is made. Try moving to an energy-efficient toilet that uses jets at 1 gallon a flush. You’ll be saving 1.5 gallons a flush!
