Steps to make your NYC home energy efficient
Not everyone does – but it’s one of the best ways to jumpstart efficiency in your New York home. Here are some energy-saving strategies related to plumbing:
Water Audit – Using water efficiently is one of the easiest ways to save money. A water audit will provide you with a detailed report of how much water you use at home and recommendations on how you can become more efficient and even qualify for some government rebates.
Energy Star – Energy Star qualified bathroom fixtures, including lighting and fans, ensure the products you use to upgrade your bathroom reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make it easy for consumers to identify these products.
Solar Hot Water – Using the power of the sun to heat water can cut annual hot water costs in half. Solar water heating is designed to use with an electric or gas backup.
