Running toilets and leaky faucets are more than just an annoyance. But did you know that leaking taps can actually waste gallons of water? If you have a leak or suspect one, get a plumber in as soon as you can to repair it or try taking on the task yourself if you know how to do it. There are ways that you can prevent your taps from leaking in the future too. We suggest looking into taps that have ceramic cartridges/discs. Older taps are usually equipped with rubber washers. The problem with rubber washers is that they tend to wear out quite quickly in comparison to taps equipped with ceramic discs. Once a washer wears down the tap will begin to drip amongst other problems that surface.

Choosing an efficient water heater is very important. When you do things like have a shower, run a hot tap, you’re using your hot water heater. Heating water can equate to a substantial amount of your home's energy costs. Investing in a better heater or a tankless option are a great way to conserve energy. Tank water heaters tend to store water which means they are operating constantly to maintain the temperature of the water. Whereas, a tankless heater only starts up when hot water is needed.
