PETE’S PLUMBING INC. RECOMMENDS SOLUTIONS FOR BECOMING A GREEN BUSINESS

Committed to Helping Atlanta-Area Offices, Motels, and Retailers with Green Plumbing Solutions

Pete’s Plumbing Inc., a family-owned and operated full-service residential and commercial plumbing company that serves Alpharetta, Georgia and nearby areas, recommends a number of solutions for helping businesses in Georgia become greener in terms of their water conservation and energy consumption through free consultations where Pete’s Plumbing professionals can recommend specific changes to habits and plumbing systems. These consultations include assessing how water and energy is being used and offering solutions to reduce these quantities in a way that is designed to save a company money while improving their environmental responsibility.

Julie Lippitt, President of Pete’s Plumbing, said, “According to a 2005 report by the USGS, 410 billion gallons per day are consumed by individuals in the U.S. Energy. Business and residential consumption continues to be above the limits for what climate change experts believe are acceptable levels for minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. With a number of drought warnings throughout Georgia, businesses really do have a socially responsible role to play in taking the lead when it comes to water conservation and greening their daily activities and operations.”

Lippitt added, “From cutting electricity costs by installing automated lighting to recycling paper, plastic, and aluminum, businesses are realizing cost savings as well as enjoying the extra benefit of enhancing their brand image. Other eco-friendly ways to go green are saving water and simultaneously reducing carbon emissions by upgrading building plumbing systems to include eco-friendly technology. This technology includes automatic shutoff faucets, low-flow toilets in public bathrooms, and tankless or hybrid water heaters. Other daily actions also make a different, including turning off equipment when not in use, making sure taps do not drip, and setting up recycling stations for paper, ink cartridges, aluminum cans, and cardboard.”

A number of businesses in Atlanta and the surrounding areas have already benefitted from the advice offered by Pete’s Plumbing professionals, including small businesses, industrial and commercial customers, and retail outlets. As Atlanta’s first green-plumbing company, be sure to contact Pete’s Plumbing to schedule a consultation to determine what type of water conservation or eco-friendly strategies are the most effective for a particular type of company to help reduce water and energy usage, cut waste and reduce overall expenses that enable a business to improve their bottom line.
