Earth Day, April 22, is an important reminder that we need to care for our planet. This year’s Earth Day theme is Our Power, Our Planet and it emphasises the role of renewable energy in supporting a cleaner, greener future.
At O’Brien Electrical and Plumbing, we see Earth Day as an opportunity to shine a light on the practical ways everyday Australians can make a real difference, starting right at home or in their workplace.
Our national Network is proud to support the shift toward more sustainable solutions. Whether it’s helping homes or businesses make the move to renewable technology or helping reducing energy use, or implementing water saving solutions, we’re committed to offering services that support sustainability efforts.
How to Get Started With Sustainability
When people think of sustainability, they might picture large-scale change. But some of the most meaningful progress happens through everyday decisions like choosing a more energy-efficient appliance, upgrading to solar, or fixing that leaky tap that’s been dripping for months.
Every action adds up. And when you partner with experienced professionals who care about quality and the environment, you’re setting yourself up to make better choices for the long run.
Powering the Shift with Solar and EV
Many electricians across the national O'Brien and Laser Network are leading the way when it comes to cleaner energy.
We can help clients install solar systems tailored to their needs, potentially giving them greater control over their energy use and bills while reducing reliance on the grid.
And as more Australians make the switch to electric vehicles, many of our Members can install EV chargers in homes or workplaces. We can advise on the right EV charging solution and ensure it’s installed safely and efficiently.
Smarter, Greener Plumbing
Green plumbing is about using water-efficient plumbing products and smarter system designs to help reduce water waste, energy consumption, and utility costs. Some ways we can help clients achieve this include:
- Installing low-flow fixtures like taps, showerheads, and toilets which help to lower water bills but don’t sacrifice functionality or comfort.
- Installing energy-efficient water heaters like solar or tankless systems.
- Implementing rainwater collection systems to gather water for uses like plant watering and toilet flushing.
- Installing greywater recycling which uses treated water from sinks and showers for landscape irrigation.
