Earth Day is the perfect time to reflect on how to be more conscious of how our actions affect the planet. As homeowners, doing so has two benefits.
Not only are you doing something that’s good for the Earth, but you’re also helping out your home and your wallet by adopting more environmentally friendly habits.
One of the most important ways to save money while reducing wastage is through water conservation. According to the EPA, the average American home uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home. Here are 6 ways you can make small changes to save a lot of water in your home.
Outside faucets are super handy. They’re necessary for gardening projects, and with the temperatures warming up in our area, you don’t want to run inside every time your plants require water. They’re fun for the family, with the help of sprinklers and pools to escape the summer heat. Overall, no home is complete without the addition of an outside faucet for easy access to water.
How badly do you need to brush your teeth every night before going to bed? Or how badly do you need to replace the oil in your car every few thousand miles? These questions are a lot more complicated than they seem, and each person is going to answer them differently. Unfortunately, you’re better off listening to a dentist tell you about how often to brush your teeth, and you’re better off listening to us tell you about how importance furnace maintenance is.
We don’t mean to butt heads with “your guy.” Perhaps your previous plumber was a friend of yours, or maybe a family friend that has lived in the neighborhood for a long time. That’s great, and as members of this community too, we’re always happy when homeowners make those kinds of connections. However, when it comes to addressing your plumbing problems, any errors translate to money that goes streaming from your wallet.
The heating season is upon us! Since the invention of the combustible furnace, the heat pump, and other heating systems, the heating season has been the time when they are all put to the test. A heating unit might seem incredible, with some of the latest and greatest technology from around the world, but if it doesn’t heat your home comfortably, then it’s as good as garbage. While heaters are built sturdy and strong, it’s actually up to how they’re treated by their owners that really details how long they’ll last.
