Free Toilets

Building on last months energy efficiency tip, I wanted to bring up a water conservation tip. The City of Austin has a Toilet Rebate Program to promote High Efficiency Toilets (HETs). I actually just used this program myself for a house that we were renovating. The process was really easy and I replaced two original high usage toilets with two new ones.

Basically you just fill out a form that the City has online. Mail that in and they send you a voucher for the toilets. You take that up to Fergusons and they give you the new toilets and all the parts. The best thing is that they will also rebate the cost of having a plumber install them up to $60 per toilet.

So you really can get the whole job done for free! I'm happy to give a plumber recommendation if you need one.
