Plumbing Upgrades Boost Your Home’s Value

Not all home improvements actually increase the value of your home.

Whether or not an upgrade will increase the value really depends on the homes current value and the value of similar homes in the area. Improvements made to improve the homes functionality can in fact increase the overall value of the home.

Many plumbing improvements can add functionality to your home. For example, improvements to your home to prevent floods and upgrading or improving plumbing can increase the value of the home.

Replacing Faucets – This is a small improvement that can make a big impact on the overall look of your bathroom or kitchen.

Installing Energy Efficient Toilets – Newer toilets use a significantly lower amount of water than toilets that are 20 years or older. Newer toilets use about 1.5 gallons of water per flush whereas a 20 year old toilet uses about 5 gallons of water per flush.

Water Conserving Fixtures – Low-flow shower and faucet heads may add value and appeal to your home. The latest designs can conserve water while providing superior water pressure.

Tankless Water Heaters – Tankless water heaters only heat water as it is used eliminating the need to keep water heated in a tank until it is used. These units can both reduce your energy cost and water consumption.
