– Faucet aerators use up to 55 percent less water than traditional 2.2-gallons-per-minute (gpm) faucets, which can reduce water and sewer costs, as well as the amount of energy used to heat the water.*

– Showerheads use up to 40 percent less water than traditional 2.5-gpm showerheads, which can reduce water and sewer costs, as well as the amount of energy used to heat the water.*

Yes. Unlike CFLs, LEDs do not contain mercury and are not harmful to the environment if broken.

It is important that the LED remain intact to prevent injury from broken or crushed bulbs. For more details, including local recycling locations and contact information for recycling in your area, visit  https://www.nola.gov/sanitation/recycling/drop-off/

The average life of an LED bulb, based on three hours of usage per day, is about 22.8 years. Life is based on individual use per bulb.

We only install engineered aerators designed to perform the same task using less water more efficiently.

Energy-saving aerators mix air and water to provide the correct surface area coverage for completing tasks. Chances are you will not even notice that the flow rate has changed.

Energy-efficient fixtures are designed to complete the same task while utilizing less water. Since your water is heated with electricity, using less hot water will additionally lower your electric bills.

The water temperature will not be affected by the energy-efficient fixtures. The temperature will still be controlled by your fixture.

Monthly savings are based on individual usage of both water and electric services.

If there are any unsecured pets or unattended minors upon our arrival, we will not be able to enter to perform the assessment or installation.
