Join us for our Kitchen Design & Remodeling Class in Raleigh on Tuesday September 28 from 6:30 – 8:00

Go Green and Save Green at the Same Time

1. Replace your old toilet, pre 1995, with a new one and save hundreds of gallons of water a month. Consider a dual-flush toilet like Kohler’s Persuade toilet and save even more. New toilets are affordable and more comfortable (comfort height).

2. Have a Raleigh plumbing company, like Legacy Plumbing or Schwartz Plumbing, check for leaks at all toilets and faucets. 10% of U.S. homes lose over 90 gallons a day to leaks.

3. Purchase Energy Star appliances. Newer refrigerators are particularly efficient and can lower your monthly electricity usage.

4. Front loading washing machines use less water and much less electricity or gas for hot water. Plus, the top of the washing machine is a great area for folding clothes.

5. Change out light bulbs with CFL bulbs which last 10 times longer and use 25% less electricity every month. Buy Energy Star labeled CFL’s to avoid the delayed start.

6. Heating and cooling account for 40% – 50% of a home’s energy consumption. Install a digital, programmable thermostat and you will reduce energy while you are at work or away for the weekend. Adjusting your normal setting by 3 degrees will save $300 per year on a 3,000 square foot home.

The “Island Life” Kitchen

Wood Wise Design & Remodeling will be showcasing the “Island Life” kitchen off Westgate Road near Carmax. Stop by and see why opening up and updating a “builder basic” kitchen appeals to so many Triangle homeowners.
