Good information from Brenda DeArmond
In order to be more energy efficient you may want to consider purchasing a tankless hot water heater. Contact a plumber before deciding which model to purchase that best suits your home. Some may think that tankless hot water heaters do not provide enough hot water for the entire family. The heat exchanger technology used in tankless hot water heaters is designed to provide a full flow of heated water to an entire household. With tankless you are able to provide enough hot water for 2-3 showers at a time. You could save approximately 12% if you convert to tankless. Tankless are generally more efficient because they heat only when the water is needed. So do something good for the environment and good for yourself.

Go Green
Good information from Brenda DeArmond
You keep hearing about going green. Just what does that mean? It means we need to be more environmentally friendly when building and remodeling. How can you do this? Start with your bathroom by installing low-flow toilets in addition to showerhead and faucet aerators. Toilets account for up to 28% of water usage in your home. If you have a toilet that was installed prior to 1994, your toilet could be using twice as much water as a modern toilet. Newer models instantly save water and money. This savings could be up to $500/year.
Using a low-flow showerhead could also save approximately $250/year. The lowest flow showerhead averages1.2 to 1.4 gallons per minute -- means you use about half the water you normally would use. Some even have a soap button which you can push and is stops the flow of water while you soap us. Pretty nifty! It only takes a couple of minutes to install and the cost is under $15.
So, what you you waiting for. Let's all go Green!
