what is contractor

A green plumber is someone who uses plumbing in a more sustainable way. They are aware of water conservation and the environment. They also have a good understanding of ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Plumber program accreditation and training are global in scope. They teach plumbers how to conserve water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

WaterSense label of the EPA

The best way to find a green plumber is to look for the EPA's WaterSense label. This label, which is part of EPA’s Water Efficiency Program, is a voluntary partnership between plumbers and consumers. WaterSense-labeled products comply with specific efficiency standards. They use at most 20 percent less water per year than standard models. Customers who desire to see their water bills as low as possible will also be satisfied with WaterSense-labeled houses.

WaterSense homes that have been certified are energy efficient, have fewer water leaks and are 30% more water efficient than normal new construction. The label can be used by plumbers to help reduce water usage for new construction or renovations. This whole-house approach is designed to ensure satisfaction. Plumbing manufacturers that carry the WaterSense label must pass a stringent certification process.

Finally, you should secure the insulation around the pipe using duct tape.
