When you need a residential or commercial plumber in Johnston City, IL, call Baker & Sons Plumbing. We’re a plumbing company with decades of experience serving area property owners. Our company encourages customers to take a preventative approach with regular inspections and maintenance.
Deal with repairs proactively before they worsen. When it’s time for upgrades, consider the ways you can make your home more convenient while lowering water and energy use.
Avoid the mistake of not calling a plumbing company until there’s a problem. Schedule an inspection at least once a year. Take care of maintenance issues before they develop into expensive repairs. Explore with your plumber where your home isn’t up to code. Upgrades may not be a requirement, but they could save you money and inconvenience.
Using an older water heater, is one way many area households spend unnecessarily. Old water heaters are notorious for using electricity and fuel excessively. Modern technologies are more efficient not just because they’re new but due to advancements. Even traditional tank water heaters now use a lot less energy. You also have the option of a tankless water heater. It will use even less energy and deliver a virtually endless hot water supply.
Water hardness is a common problem in our region. If you’re unsure how hard your water is, let us test it. If you have moderately hard water, consider protecting your water heater and, if applicable, boiler with an anti-scale device. If your water is hard or very hard, consider a whole-house water softener instead. It will not only protect water heaters and boilers but pipes, fixtures, and other water-using appliances.
You can also reduce your reliance on bottled water with a whole-house water filtration system. These systems have sediment filters to remove dirt, silt, metals, and other particles. They often have activated charcoal to remove gases and chemicals. Activated charcoal improves taste and smell, too. You can also opt for ultraviolet light to kill parasites and other pathogens. Water conditioning is an option as well. If your water is too acidic, for instance, you can have a stage to increase the water’s pH.
When upgrading fixtures, consider high-efficiency products. Touchless faucets reduce water use while fostering a more sanitary environment. Low-flow toilets can make a dramatic difference. Consider that normal toilets can use as much as 1.6 gallons per flush. Toilets that earn the WaterSense label use no more than 1.28 gallons per flush. Likewise, WaterSense showerheads use no more than 2.0 gallons per minute, whereas standard models typically use 2.5.
