Summer Plumbing Upgrades to Instantly Spruce Up Your Home
Summer is the perfect time to tackle those indoor upgrades you've been dreaming about. With longer days and more flexibility, it's easier than ever to invest in your home’s comfort and value. One of the most overlooked (but high-impact) areas to enhance is your indoor plumbing. Whether you're preparing for entertaining guests or simply refreshing your space, the right plumbing updates can make a world of difference.
At White’s Plumbing Supplies, we’ve been helping Connecticut homeowners elevate their homes for over 100 years—and we’re here to help you make your summer refresh seamless.
1. Upgrade to a Touchless Kitchen Faucet
If you're spending more time in the kitchen this season—hosting cookouts, prepping salads, or canning garden veggies—a touchless faucet is a game-changer. Not only are they stylish and modern, but they also improve hygiene and make cleanup easier during busy summer days.
Pro Tip: Choose a model with temperature control and motion sensor sensitivity for an even better experience.
2. Install a High-Efficiency Toilet
Looking to reduce water usage and lower your monthly bills? A high-efficiency toilet (HET) can help you save thousands of gallons of water per year. They come in sleek, compact designs perfect for modern bathrooms, and are often eligible for rebates in many municipalities.
3. Refresh Your Bathroom with New Fixtures
Small details make a big difference. Swap out your old sink faucet, showerhead, and cabinet hardware for a cohesive, polished look. Opt for finishes like brushed nickel, matte black, or polished chrome to complement your current aesthetic.
Bonus: New plumbing fixtures can instantly modernize your space without the cost of a full remodel.
4. Add a Utility Sink in the Laundry Room or Garage
Summer projects often mean extra mess. From gardening cleanup to DIY paint jobs, having a utility sink can keep the mess out of your main living areas. It’s a practical upgrade that adds functionality to any laundry room, basement, or garage.
5. Invest in a Whole-Home Water Filtration System
With more family and friends visiting this season, now’s the time to ensure your water is clean, safe, and great-tasting. A whole-home water filtration system improves water quality from every tap and helps protect your plumbing fixtures from mineral buildup—extending their lifespan.
