For those that are looking to save money, one great way to go about doing so is by using the services of a professional plumber. Whether by preventing costly repairs through regular maintenance, or by lowering your monthly utility bills, experienced plumbers have a plethora of tools available to help save you money. So if you’re looking for some effective methods for lowering your bills this year, here are some great reasons why having some plumbing work done could be the perfect solution.
Replace Your Boiler
If you’ve begun noticing that your hot water cools down too quickly, or if your current boiler is 15 or more years old, and then it’s a good idea to consider having it replaced. Not only will a new boiler installation give you superior performance, but it can also lower your energy costs by hundreds of pounds annually. Saving energy is not only good for your bank accounts balance, but for the environment as well.
Replace Old Faucets and Shower Heads
Although it’s a common misconception, your faucets do more than just add to the aesthetics of your sink or shower. They also help to regulate the amount of water that flows through them. Therefore, if your faucets or shower heads are outdated, and then chances are they’re using more water than is necessary. Over time, this can lead to unnecessarily high water bills. Newer, more environmentally friendly faucets and shower heads can save you over 30% more water than older faucets, which can result in substantial savings.
Have Your Radiator Power Flushed
If left unmaintained, over time your radiator will become blocked up. This will not only affect your radiators ability to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, but will dramatically increase your energy bills as well. Over the years this can equal up to a substantial amount of money lost through wasted energy. Fortunately, for a qualified plumber it will only take hours to fully restore your radiator to its former working condition.
Check Your Toilet
Toilets that are over ten years old, or that are malfunctioning can also be a substantial waste of water. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have a professional plumber inspect your toilet for any valve issues, or to see if it’s an older model that wastes water. Repairing or possibly replacing a toilet that’s leaking or wasting water can also contribute to savings in your water bills.
