Plumbing Upgrades You Should Seriously Consider

Eric McPherson • October 1, 2021

It's never a bad time to act on your home renovation ideas. At Wade Roberts Plumbing, we know just how important it is to upgrade your plumbing system when you're renovating the rest of your home. It's highly recommended to add some essential plumbing upgrades when renovating to help prevent future issues while increasing your property value. 


Learn how to easily and quickly add lasting value to your home with these must-have plumbing upgrades to increase your home's overall energy efficiency. Let's take a look at the three most important plumbing upgrades you should seriously consider as soon as possible!


Tankless Water Heater


Tankless water heaters should always be considered if you live in a home that needs an energy-efficient system to heat your water. Before and after home renovations should always include several important plumbing upgrades: installing a tankless water heater is no exception.

It's usually a good idea to begin considering replacing your water heater if it's more than 15 years old. Older standard water heaters often lose their efficiency and can actually contribute to higher-than-normal energy bills. Tankless water heaters are great investments for homes with failing tank heaters and nearly always save money over the long run.


Low Flow Fixtures


Low flow fixtures are perfect upgrades for bathrooms that are in desperate need of a complete renovation. Have a bathroom or two in your home that's past its prime and needs a remodel? It's time that you consider a new bathroom fixture with low flow.


Many homeowners don't typically consider upgrading things such as their toilets and faucets with new, low-flow fixtures, which is a real shame. Low-flow fixture designs can lower the amount of water usage in your home over time and ultimately cuts down on high energy costs. Low-flow equipment can round out a bathroom remodeling project and the experts at Wade Roberts Plumbing can recommend multiple low-flow fixture options if you're considering a total home remodel.


Smart Water Devices


Smart home devices are all around our homes these days: smart lighting, smart TVs, and even smart cooking -- the list of smart upgrades that you can install is practically endless. That's why it's so important to know that when it comes to giving your home a complete remodel, there are plenty of smart upgrades for your plumbing that you can consider, too.
