More Tips from American Pacific to Conserve Energy and Reduce Emissions

Save money! After you have installed your “Smart Device”, think about these additional ways to reduce your gas and water consumption.

  1. Where possible, insulate all hot water supply lines from your water heater to each faucet throughout your home.
  2. Install a water heater blanket over your water heater.
  3. If your hot water takes more than 15 seconds to reach the furthest fixture in your home, consider installing a circulator to that fixture.
  4. Install low flow faucets and shower heads.
  5. Shorten shower times.
  6. Do laundry in cold water when possible.
  7. Repair any leaky faucets.
  8. Now just relax and enjoy the peace of mind that what you’ve done is smart for you, and smart for the planet!
