"Go Green" Spring Specials

Green Tip # 1

Consider replace older and larger tank toilets with smaller/low -flow toilets...


This can save a tremendous amount of water and money. Many of the new water saving toilets also have a dual flush feature by which you can choose a half flush or a full flush.


For example, by replace one typical 3.5 gallon toilet with a 1.6 gallon model can save a family of four-11,096 gallons per year! That's a 54% reduction in toilet water usage, which equals savings to you and the environment.

Green Tip #2

Consider Going Tankless...


If you are looking to "go green", lower your energy costs, and save space…a tankless water heater may be your best option. At Payless Plumbing, Heating and Drain Cleaning, we carry Rinnai Tankless Heaters. Our technicians are specially trained in installing and maintaining these high quality heaters.


Tankless water heaters differ from traditional tank-style units in several ways. First, they heat the water that you need…when you need it. This provides you with a endless hot water supply that your lifestyle demands.


Rinnai heaters are ENERGY STAR approved. This means they use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. By going tankless, you can benefit from up to a 40% energy savings!


Rinnai tankless heaters are about the size of a suitcase. This saves space and allows installation in a variety of places vs. a traditional tank unit.


At Payless, we carry both traditional tank units and tankless models. Our master plumbers can discuss the pros and cons of both styles to determine which style best meets your needs.



Green Tip # 3

Consider installing low-flow shower heads...


A typical shower can use up to 25 gallons of water...per person. Low flow shower heads can save your water consumption 30%-50%! Traditionally, low flow shower heads were designed to simply reduce the amount of water coming out. This made for an uncomfortable, low pressure shower. Thankfully, many of the new low flow shower heads still provide savings without sacrificing pressure.
