Average annual utility bill savings: $20-30

High Efficiency and Dual Flush Toilets

Dual flush gives users a choice between 0.8 gallons for liquid and light waste and 1.6 gallons for solid waste. Saves 20-60% of water per flush.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are designed to provide hot water “on-demand”. These high efficiency units by only heating the hot water that is needed thereby don’t use continual energy required to maintain a temperature constant. This performance cuts water heating costs up to 50% as water heating is the second-largest energy expenditure in most households.
Average annual utility bill savings: $50-$150
