Environmentally Friendly You

Environmental friendliness is key to all aspects of home life these days. And in Corona, people are acutely aware of the importance of water saving. From low flush toilets to low flow shower heads, you're going to find some great ways to save money and the environment at the same time where plumbing is concerned.

Now those are pretty standard options to prevent water waste. Another idea, growing in popularity for both ease of use and cost savings is an on-demand water heater. This will save you on energy costs, which is a huge environmental savings right there. You won't be wasting time heating water that you're not using. And the hot water will be there when you need it, too.

An Energy Star rated, efficient dishwasher is another way to save money on water heating and water use. Ditto for a washing machine with an Energy Star rating. Installing these new appliances is a quick way to avoid water waste, save energy, and make things a little bit easier on your wallet.

Another good green way to go is to think outside the house. That's right, landscaping and irrigation systems. On the irrigation side, using a sprinkler system that's based on grey water usage is going to save a lot of money and water. Recycling water is simply a smart way to go in your home in Corona. And you can save any kind of water by utilizing native plants in your garden. They'll require less care, less water, and give your exterior an updated, stylish curb appeal conventional non-native gardens just can't match.

Green plumbing, like any aspect of environmentally friendly living, is something that's easy to adapt to, and will save you on energy costs as well as contributing to the well being of the environment.
