Households, top tips to reduce cost of living

We empathise with you that the cost of living is constantly on the rise these days.

While we seek out ways to cut back on our spending, we often ‘hope’ that our household appliances and our home will simply, keep working!

ways to save money - don't waste money down the drain Don’t bet on your household appliances & plumbing with a ‘set & forget’ approach because it could be costing you money!

The last thing you want is unwanted but necessary bills to repair your essential appliances and plumbing in your home when it breaks down.

So, we have put together 3 Top Tips you can apply to your household management that help keep costs down.

These tips will help you minimise unwanted bills from repairs and the frustration of excess charges for water/energy usage due to leaks or inefficient parts in your home plumbing.

point 1Regular maintenance outperforms none

Regular maintenance of your Hot Water System and Gas Appliances by a professional plumber can save you money.

It delivers a wealth of benefits overall that will save you time, money, and hassle!

Here are some of those advantages:

  • Greater efficiency: Well-maintained systems operate more efficiently. You’ll cut down on your energy consumption and reduce your bills at the same time.
  • Fewer breakdowns: Preventative maintenance helps identify and fix issues early (and before they become big problems). You’ll likely experience fewer unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
  • Extended lifespan: Consistent maintenance can dramatically prolong the life of your hot water system and gas appliances, which means you’ll be able to hold off on the cost of replacement for a little while longer.
  • Consistent supply: A properly maintained system ensures a reliable supply of hot water for your hot water system and gas for your gas appliances.

Plus you’re also providing benefits for our environment with more efficient use of our energy sources.

 

point 2Not all taps were created equal

Nothing can be quite as frustrating as a leaky or broken tap. Or for example, a pipe connection used in your toilet’s water supply! You can literally see ‘your money going down the drain’ via excess water usage charges!

It’s hard to know though upon face-value, what tap, or plumbing fixture is better than another. This is why its beneficial to chat with your local plumber to understand what is going to be the best choice for you when a plumbing fixture needs replacing.

Our friendly team of plumbers here at Thoroughgood Professional Plumbing Services are happy to assist our customers and we only work with the best quality suppliers.

Besides the benefit of not having a breakdown hassle, selecting quality and durable plumbing fixtures will save you money by:

  • Reducing leaks, excess water usage costs
  • Minimise risk of malfunctions that cause significant flooding / damage to your home
  • Achieve optimal energy rating efficiency (again reducing your water usage bills)
  • Extend the life of the unit negating the cost for replacement.

point 3Instead of “fixing” find a cure

Do you have plumbing fixtures /appliances, sewer or drain pipes that break down frequently?

Instead of constantly “fixing” the problem and footing the bill associated with getting a plumber out to fix them! …Conduct a root cause analysis to understand the true source of the problem. Often it takes a professional plumber to do this.

This is where the value of a proactive professional plumber that focus on solving the cause of the problem vs. a ‘band aid fix’ is worth it in more ways than one!
