Now, since it is suggested that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/183648\/average-size-of-households-in-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the average household has 2.5 occupants<\/a>, you can do the math on how much water is consumed by a family in just 24 hours! When referring back to a well-revered 2014 Government Accountability Report, study data suggests the average household spends over $1,000 each year on water expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are countless methods of conserving water at home and in the office, but the top 4 strategies that have proven to be the most effective are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Repair Water Leaks in Plumbing ASAP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water leaks can really cost you. Not only can water leaks generate a massive amount of structural damage that requires invasive and timely renovations, but they can also waste a lot of water and energy, which results in higher <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/8-tips-to-control-home-energy-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home energy costs<\/a> each month. It is critical to your water conservation goals to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/4-unconventional-ways-to-detect-a-plumbing-leak-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detect a plumbing leak<\/a> and repair it as soon as possible. Consider a water leak an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/do-you-need-emergency-plumbing-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emergency plumbing need<\/a>. Even a tiny faucet drip can signify a major pathway for destruction. A good way to identify a hidden plumbing leak is to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/how-your-water-meter-can-confirm-plumbing-leaks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monitor your water meter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do Not Leave the Water Running<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you brush your teeth, wash the dishes, or water the garden, try not to let the water run when you are not using it. By simply shutting the faucet off in intervals, or strategically watering your lawn with a sprinkler system, you can save a noticeable amount of water, which will reduce your water bills significantly. Start with some practice, and before you know it, you will barely run the water in excess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Install Low-Flow Volume Restrictors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace your shower head with a low-flow model to reduce the volume of water you use when bathing. You can also install <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/how-to-locate-and-adjust-low-volume-water-restrictors\/\" target=\"_blank\">low volume water restrictors<\/a> in your bathroom and kitchen sink faucets to achieve the same goal. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) suggests that a low-volume shower head alone can render between 25% and 60% savings in water costs each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Install Energy Efficient Appliances<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy Star-rated and approved plumbing appliances, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/plumbing-services\/water-heaters.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">water heaters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/plumbing-services\/water-softeners.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">water softeners<\/a>, dishwashing machines, washing machines, and boilers, will work wonders to reduce your daily water consumption. With a higher level of energy efficiency, you will use less water and save on your monthly utility costs. When replacing your plumbing fixtures with new ones, choose brands with a WaterSense label. These are specially designed to conserve water and reduce waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking for a qualified Indy plumber who can help you transform your home into a water-conserving, energy efficient residence?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Weilhammer Plumbing Company<\/a> at 317-784-1870 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/plumbing-services.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianapolis Indiana plumbing services<\/a> at an affordable price.
