But when it comes to energy savings, hey, that\u2019s a topic you can broach without cringing.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s get right to the top ways you can save energy in your bathroom:<\/p>\n
1. Reduce Shower Water Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n This represents your greatest energy savings opportunity in your bathroom. Yes, you can save electricity, which we\u2019ll cover later. But the amount of energy and cash saved isn\u2019t nearly as great as it is with reduced water usage.<\/p>\n The real problem, however, lies in reducing your water usage without sacrificing too much personal comfort. You\u2019ve heard suggestions to do crazy extreme things like taking 2-minute showers like Navy servicemen do. But, that feels like torture!<\/p>\n So instead, you can reduce your energy usage by installing a low-flow showerhead. You could also simply take a shower instead of a bath.<\/p>\n You could also remember how full you usually fill your tub and then simply use less water than you usually do.<\/p>\n 2. Reducing Sink Water Usage<\/strong><\/p>\n You hear all about washing your hands frequently during flu season. But, that can come at the cost of energy savings.<\/p>\n With your sink, you can install WaterSense faucets which use 30% less water than standard ones. Just look for the WaterSense label.<\/p>\n You can also install an aerator on older faucets.<\/p>\n When you brush your teeth, make sure you turn off the water. If you need to use water to shave, fill your sink up halfway first, rather than letting it run.<\/p>\n Last, check your faucets and pipes for leaks, which can consume an almost unbelievable amount of water if not fixed.<\/p>\n
