Know where your water shutoff valve is.  Everyone in your family should know where it is located in the event of a sudden pipe or hose leak. 

To prevent possible flooding when you go on vacation, turn off the water main. Your home has two types of water valves: the gate valve and the ball valve.  The gate valve is recognizable by its round handle which must be turned a number of times clockwise to turn off the water.  The ball valve is recognized by its single handle that needs to be turned a or 90 degrees to close. 

ENERGY STAR Qualified Star

Always buy ENERGY STAR qualified products they are up to 40% more efficient.  Ask our technicians for possible rebates and incentives that are being offered in the area. 

Turn your water heater down to 120° or the “Normal” setting, and when you’re away set it to the lowest setting.  Water heating accounts for about 13% of home energy costs. 

When possible, wash your clothes in cold water.  90% of energy usage of a clothes washer goes to heating the water. 

Run your dishwasher and clothes washer only when fully loaded. Fewer loads reduces energy and water use.
