Eco-friendly upgrades that save water, energy, and money—while keeping your Lynnwood home comfortable and modern.
As the climate crisis continues and utility costs rise, more Lynnwood homeowners are looking to make their homes more sustainable—and one of the best places to start is in your plumbing system. With the right eco-friendly plumbing fixtures, you can drastically reduce water waste, lower your energy bills, and lessen your environmental footprint without sacrificing performance or convenience.
At Einstein Pros Lynnwood, we’re proud to help local families make smarter, greener choices for their homes. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the top plumbing fixtures that make a real difference—and how to choose the right ones for your home.
💧 1. WaterSense-Labeled Faucets and Showerheads
WaterSense is an EPA-backed certification that guarantees a product saves water without compromising performance. Compared to standard models, WaterSense-labeled fixtures:
- Use at least 20% less water
- Maintain strong flow and pressure
- Reduce energy used to heat water

Best for: Kitchen sinks, bathroom faucets, and all showers in the home
Savings Tip: Replacing just one showerhead can save the average family 2,700 gallons of water per year.
🚽 2. High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs)
Older toilets can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush, while new high-efficiency models use only 1.28 gallons or less. Dual-flush options let you choose between a full or partial flush, offering more control and savings.

Best for: Whole-home retrofits or bathroom remodels
Savings Tip: A family of four can save up to 13,000 gallons of water each year by upgrading inefficient toilets.
🌡 3. Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
While traditional water heaters heat and store gallons of water at a time, tankless models heat only when needed—meaning less energy waste and a nearly unlimited hot water supply.

Best for: Energy-efficient upgrades and smaller spaces
Bonus: Tankless systems often last 20+ years with proper maintenance.
🛁 4. Eco-Friendly Bathtubs and Fixtures
Eco-friendly tubs are made from recycled or sustainably sourced materials like cast iron or acrylic. Pair them with low-flow tub fillers and thermostatic mixing valves to reduce hot water waste and prevent scalding.
Best for: Green remodels or upgrades with resale value in mind
Savings Tip: Reducing hot water usage reduces both water and heating costs.
🔄 5. Smart Leak Detectors and Shut-Off Valves
Water leaks waste nearly 1 trillion gallons annually in the U.S., according to the EPA. Smart sensors placed near sinks, toilets, or pipes can detect leaks early and automatically shut off the water to prevent damage.
