In the HVAC (heating, cooling & ventilation) industry, we often hear the comments, ”We don’t need planned maintenance, we’re still under warranty.” Nothing could be further from the truth!
“Going green” is not a new term for most of us, however, it might be as it applies to the plumbing in your home. Green plumbing is plumbing that is designed to be the most energy efficient and at the same time conserve the most water.
When you open the faucet in your home most of us take for granted that the water will flow out. Of course, this is really dependent upon the pressure that water is under. Water pressure is created by water forcing its way through the distribution system to your tap.
If you have an older heating and cooling system, you need to be aware of all of the changes that have occurred over the last 20 years. We have seen a true revolution in heating and cooling equipment.

We, as Americans, think that bigger is better and buy products that are “jumbo”, “extra large”, or “mega” size. We generally think we are getting a better value and more of what we want. But when it comes to a home’s heating and cooling needs, super-sizing your system can cost you in both money and comfort.
The air duct system within your home is responsible for distributing air (cold or hot) throughout your home and returning it back to your equipment so that it can be treated, heated or cooled again, and then redistributed. Clean, maintained and well-installed ductwork enables your heating and cooling system to run more efficiently and maintain consistent temperatures, while providing better overall comfort to you and your family.
If you're lucky, you rarely need to worry about your plumbing. Your toilet flushes and your sink drains smoothly; you have plenty of hot water and your shower has good water pressure. But luck doesn't last forever. Many problems can occur in this system. Pipes can break, drains can plug, and valves can leak. When trouble arises, it's helpful if you know how the system works. This knowledge can help you save money, prevent damage to your home and keep your family safe.
According to the U.S. Federal Government heating and cooling accounts for around 45% of Americans’ annual energy bills. They estimate that on average homeowners will spend more than $10,000 for heating and cooling over a 10-year period.
Today's gas and oil prices are so unpredictable, it's hard to know what next month's utility bill total might be. Combine that anxiety with the pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions and it's no wonder more homeowners are investing in the best green innovations they can buy.
