FAQs
What qualifies a toilet as “water-saving,” and how much water can I expect to conserve by upgrading?
A toilet is considered water-saving if it uses 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less and carries the EPA WaterSense® label. Older toilets installed before the early 1990s can use 3.5–7.0 GPF. Replacing one of those with a WaterSense model can reduce household toilet water use by up to 60 %, saving roughly 13,000 gallons and $110–$150 on water and sewer bills each year for a family of four in Allardt.
Which brands or models of high-efficiency toilets do you install in Allardt?
We stock and install several WaterSense-certified lines, including Kohler Cimarron 1.28 GPF, TOTO Drake II 1.28 GPF, American Standard Cadet 3 FloWise 1.28 GPF, and Glacier Bay dual-flush (0.8/1.28 GPF). Our technicians will review your bathroom’s rough-in, floor clearance, and aesthetic preferences to recommend the best fit, ensuring you receive full manufacturer warranties and our own one-year labor warranty.
Will a water-saving toilet flush as powerfully as my current fixture?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency toilets use redesigned trapways, larger outlets, and optimized siphon jets to move waste effectively with less water. Independent MaP (Maximum Performance) testing rates most of the models we install at 800–1,000 grams per flush—well above the 350-gram industry baseline—so you should not experience double-flushing or lingering bowl residue.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and do you handle disposal of the old unit?
A standard swap-out in Allardt usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Our plumber will shut off and drain the old tank, remove the existing toilet, inspect and replace the wax ring or flange if needed, set the new fixture level, connect the water supply, and test for leaks. We haul away and recycle or legally dispose of the old toilet at no extra charge unless it contains lead or other hazardous materials, in which case we discuss disposal fees upfront.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a WaterSense toilet in Allardt or Fentress County?
Yes. Many Tennessee water utilities, including those serving Allardt, offer $25–$50 bill credits for each qualifying WaterSense toilet you install. Programs change yearly, so we’ll submit the paperwork and proof of purchase for you or guide you through the online form. In addition, the TVA’s EnergyRight® program occasionally bundles low-flow plumbing fixtures with energy upgrades; we keep clients informed of any active promotions.
Do I need to update other bathroom fixtures when switching to a water-saving toilet?
Not necessarily, but pairing a new high-efficiency toilet with WaterSense faucets and 1.5 GPM showerheads maximizes water savings. During our visit we can evaluate supply lines, shut-off valves, and the condition of your bathroom sink or tub fixtures. If replacements are advisable, doing the work in one appointment reduces labor costs and ensures uniform finishes across your bathroom.
