It might not surprise you, but out of 1,092 respondents nationwide, nearly half of those describing themselves as lower income believed living green was affordable, but felt purchasing a green home would not be.

What Are Circulation Pumps?

by 4 Comments

Handwashing.Often our water heaters are not located close to the faucets that require hot water. If you spend minutes on end waiting for hot water to come out your faucet, you may want to consider a circulating pump.

Circulating pumps are designed to sit on the line outside of the water heater. Forcing the hot water through the lines at a high rate brings it up to your shower, sinks and appliances much faster.

Many different pumps are available right now, using low-wattage and easily installed. Call us for more information on how you can experience faster hot water at your point-of-use. 972-424-6479

Do You Get What You Pay For?

If you need a lawyer, you want one that will win your case. That will not necessarily be the cheapest one you can find.

If you need a doctor, you want one that will do the most for you and help you with your illness, and you want the best you can find. Not the cheapest.

If you need a dentist, you look for a really good one, maybe a referral from a friend.  And you don’t really want the cheapest – it could cause you pain.

If you have a plumbing problem, you want a plumber that will do the best job for you. Gary’s Quality Plumbing is who to call. We have licensed, insured, clean professional men who will come to your home and do an outstanding job for you. Don’t take a chance with a handyman or jack-of-all trades or even someone that offers to be the lowest priced plumber you can get.

Remember- you do get what you pay for!

Are your faucets a source of minor plumbing leaks?It’s tempting to shop at home improvement stores and think that energy efficient ratings are the answer to lowering your expenses. Often they are, but if you ignore minor plumbing leaks in your home around your fixtures or inside your toilet, you’ll really only increase your bills with additional monthly payments, not lower your living expenses.

It will take the combined effort of Energy Star and regular maintenance before you will see significant changes to your bills.
