Saving Center
Water Water Everywhere
Did you know that, according to the EPA's Water Sense program, the average American family of four can use 400 gallons of water every day?
Washing dishes with an open tap alone can use up to 20 gallons. You can save 10% just by filling the sink and closing the tap as you soap and scrub, or save 30% by replacing your old 2.2 gallon-per-minute (gpm) kitchen faucet with a low-flow model rated at 1.5 gpm.
Insurance Costs
A call to your insurance provider can often save on the fixed cost of homeowner's insurance. Ask about discounts for: - Monitored Security Systems,
- New Wiring / Electrical upgrades,
- New furnace, air conditioning and/or water tank,
- Near a fire hydrant,
- Over age 55 or no claims in 10 years,
- List the spouse with the better credit score first when applying for a policy,
- Bundle by using one company for multiple policies.
