Happy Earth Day from Cody & Sons

Earth Day is a reminder that we need to take accountability for the choices we make in our daily lives.

We can all do our bit for the environment by making small yet significant changes to reduce our carbon footprint. Plumbing, heating, and air systems are a great area to focus on when it comes to conservation.

Here are five conservation tips that you can implement to reduce your environmental impact:

1. Fix Leaks Promptly

If you notice any leaks in your pipes or faucets, address them immediately. A leaky faucet that drips once per second can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year. Not only does this waste water, but it also leads to higher water bills. Therefore, fixing any leaks in your home can lead to substantial savings while promoting water conservation.

2. Install High-Efficiency Fixtures

Traditional showerheads and faucets use a lot of water, leading to wastage. Consider installing high-efficiency fixtures that use less water to perform the same function, such as low-flow showerheads and high-efficiency toilets. By making this switch, you could save a considerable amount of water and money over time.

3. Use Programmable Thermostats

Programmable or “Smart” thermostats are a cost-effective way to conserve energy. You can set the temperature when you sleep or when you are away from home to reduce your heating and cooling systems’ workload. This small adjustment can lead to significant savings on your utility bills while contributing to energy conservation.

4. Get Your HVAC System Serviced Regularly

Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system requires regular maintenance to operate efficiently. Regular servicing and cleaning of air filters, fans, and coils can help to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of the system.

5. Upgrade to High-Efficiency HVAC Equipment

If your HVAC system is outdated, consider upgrading to high-efficiency equipment. Today’s technologically advanced solutions use less energy than their predecessors, leading to significant savings on your monthly bills.
