Hire a green plumber to save water, power and money

Climate change and drought have turned environmentally friendly options from preferences into necessities. Not only can specialised 'green' plumbers assist you in helping the environment, but they can save you water, power and money.

Experts in their field

Green plumbers have completed training in sustainable plumbing and are up to date with the latest government rules and regulations concerning plumbing and the environment. They are well equipped to advise your business about the best way to reduce your environmental impact.

"It's about training them to know about changes in regulations," says Paul Naylor, General Manager of the Master Plumbers Association of NSW. "That could be through water-saving devices, the dos and don'ts of modifying a system, switching to solar, or changing hot water services to gas or heat pump."

Save power, water and money

We're all conscious of saving water in the home, but it's equally important in a business, which can use a significant amount. By utilising the latest green technology, maintenance plumbers can save up to 25% on energy and up to 40% on water use. 

Choosing a green plumber to build and maintain your systems from the outset will also benefit your business through government rebate programs. Reducing water and energy use now means that your company will see consistent financial benefits in future years.

Book an assessment 

Green maintenance plumbers can do more than perform routine maintenance or fix problems as they crop up. They can also provide you with a comprehensive environmental assessment to determine where you can reduce water and energy waste. 

"It helps people to plan," says Paul. "One of the difficult things to get around is that businesses, faced with a plumbing problem, want an instant fix. But the environmentally friendly fix is not always an instant one."

By having a responsible plan in place for your business, when plumbing issues arise you'll already be aware of the greenest choices.

For the future of both the planet and your business, it's obvious that the best way to go is green. Take action early to find an environmentally aware maintenance plumber who can benefit your image and boost your bottom line.
