Homeowners doing bathroom remodeling in Tampa are often one of two types of people—people who have an unlimited budget and don’t care about their utility bills going up, and those who are pinching pennies trying to lower their water bill. Even people who fall in the middle tend to lean towards saving money rather than going overboard with luxury upgrades.
If you’re interested in how to lower your water bill during your bathroom remodeling in Tampa, check out our suggestions below.
- Choose a Shower, not Bath-Showers tend to use far less water than it takes to fill your bathtub up. Some homeowners dream of adding in a super luxurious jetted tub or elegant clawfoot tub during their remodeling and upgrades, but if you want to use less water, showers are the way to go. There are also showers designed explicitly for reducing water consumption and saving energy.
- Toilet Flush Control- There are dozens of toilets available, but if you’re upgrading, spend the extra money on getting a toilet that has different flush capacities. Most of these toilets offer two different flushes—a one-gallon flush and a 2 gallon flush for when you need a little more. Toilets created before 1982 use up to 7 gallons of water per flush. If your toilet is old, it’s time to replace it during bathroom remodeling in Tampa.
- Automatic Faucets-You’ve seen the automatic faucets that you run your hands underneath to turn the water on and off in commercial settings. Still, you can also install these in your residential bathrooms. These stop the water from continuously running, which will save quite a bit of water over the year.
There are other ways to save water in your bathroom and lower your utility bills, such as turning the water off while brushing your teeth or timing your showers when you can’t upgrade to your bathroom furniture and fixtures.
