Choosing Pipes for Your Home

When it comes to plumbing, the type of pipe used in your home matters. Different materials have different strengths, costs, and lifespans.

Copper Pipes

Copper is durable, long-lasting, and resistant to corrosion. It’s a reliable choice for both hot and cold water lines but can be more expensive to install.

PVC and CPVC Pipes

PVC is commonly used for drain and vent lines. CPVC handles hot water and is lighter and less expensive than copper.

PEX Pipes

PEX is flexible, easy to install, and resistant to scale and chlorine. It’s increasingly popular for residential plumbing. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 for guidance.
