Green Plumbing
When it comes to reducing environmental impact of your household
living, few aspects of your home have more potential than your plumbing.
Greening your plumbing can reduce home energy costs, improve your homes
energy rating, improve your home from a health perspective whilst all
being easier on the environment.
There are a number of ways your
home can be built or altered to achieve 'greener living' and Banboy pty
ltd are considered specialists in completing these types of works. Types
of adjustments or ideas that can be adapted into your home include:
-
Insulation of Pipes — especially in exterior walls, are responsible for a significant amount
of heat loss as water travels from your hot water heater, resulting in
higher utility bills.
-
Remove Plumbing from Exterior Walls — The installation of piping systems within the walls reduces heat loss into the environment.
-
Install an On-Demand Hot Water Circulation Pump — These
pumps send hot water to your fixtures in a matter of seconds, saving
you money by reducing the work done by the heater/boiler.
-
Installation of a New Hot Water Heater — Hot water units account for approximately 15 percent of your total home
energy use. By updating your unit with a newer, more efficient machine
you can reduce electricity/gas consumption saving you money on
lower running costs.
-
Installation of 'Water Saving' Showers Heads — Water saving showers heads can reduce your water consumption by up to half.
-
Installation of Low-Volume Flushing Toilets — On average, toilet water consumption accounts for the single biggest water usage in your home.
-
Install Energy-Efficient Appliances — Energy and water efficient dishwashers and clothes-washers reduce water
consumption. This is dictated by the rating of the appliances used.
