Low-cost ways to go green...

Have you heard of the term eco-friendly? Are you thinking of reducing your carbon footprint? Are you concerned about the costs of "going green?"

At Jacan Plumbing & Heating we believe that the slow and steady tortoise wins the race. You can reduce your carbon footprint and "go green" without taking a big hit to your wallet. Start small! You don’t have to tackle big projects like installing solar panels or a geothermal heating system to do your part in preserving the environment.

Here are a few green plumbing tips for your home:

1.       Install low-flow shower heads in your bathrooms

2.       Make sure your home is properly insulated

3.       Install programmable thermostats

4.       Purchase low-flush toilets (this conserves water and saves money on your water bill)

5.       Consider buying energy efficient washers and dryers (energy star products can significantly reduce your utility bills)

6.       Install a tankless water heater

These simple steps will save you money and take you one step closer to creating a green home for you and your family.
