ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA. (August 22, 2011). Pete’s Plumbing Inc., a family-owned and operated full-service residential and commercial plumbing company that serves Alpharetta, Georgia and nearby areas, announced today they are now offering eco plumbing systems for new builds throughout their service area in Alpharetta and the surrounding communities.
Pete’s Plumbing makes it easy to be green when constructing the new home of your dreams. There are many ways to implement earth-friendly plumbing options, and it is much easier to start when a house is first being built rather than doing retrofits later. Among the many green plumbing options available, Pete’s Plumbing has numerous recommendations:
· Use PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing instead of PVC or copper. Leaks are the biggest potential water waster, and PEX tubing reduces potential leaks which in turn saves time and money.
· Toilets use the most water out of any fixture in the house, so installing high-efficiency toilets is also an effective way to reduce water usage and save money.
· Drain-water heat-recovery systems are a must-have in an eco-friendly home. When installed under fixtures, such as tubs and showers, these systems save energy and water by recovering heat from waste water.
Julie Lippitt, President of Pete’s Plumbing, said, “We are excited to offer our customers the option of green plumbing when building their new home. We have many options and services that not only save our customers money, but they also help them tread lightly on the environment around them. One of these options is pre-plumbing for future grey water systems. These systems allow grey water instead of potable water to be used for flushing toilets and outdoor watering. This is a great way to reuse water that would otherwise just go down the drain.”
Lippitt continued, “We also offer a water and energy audit during the home construction process. These audits are performed by certified, highly-skilled plumbing technicians who can ensure your plumbing is as green as possible, every step of the way. It saves our customers time and future plumbing expenses to make sure their plumbing system is the best it can be the first time out. We want our customers to get the best value for their plumbing investment so they can rest assured they’ve not only got the best plumbing system available, but also that they’ve done their best for our planet.”
