Smart & Sustainable Plumbing Upgrades for the Modern Home

Technology has entered every part of the home—and plumbing is no exception. Smart leak detectors, water-saving fixtures, and efficient systems protect your investment while reducing bills. Here’s how to choose upgrades that pay off.

Smart Systems

  • Leak sensors & auto-shutoff valves: Detect leaks instantly via app alerts.

  • Hot-water recirculation: Cuts waste by delivering hot water faster.

  • Smart faucets: Track usage, enable touchless control, and reduce waste.

Sustainable Fixtures

  • Low-flow toilets & showerheads: Save thousands of gallons annually.

  • Greywater reuse systems: Recycle water for irrigation or toilet flushing.

  • Tankless water heaters: Heat on demand, reducing energy consumption.

Material Choices
PEX piping resists corrosion and requires less energy to produce than copper—ideal for remodels.

Upgrade Evaluation
Consider ROI (monthly savings ÷ installation cost). Check for local rebates on water-saving equipment. Always confirm system compatibility with existing plumbing.

Smart and sustainable upgrades are the future of home plumbing. Book a Water-Efficiency Consultation with Economy Plumbing to discover which options fit your home and budget.
