FAQs
What are water-saving plumbing fixtures and how do they work?
Water-saving fixtures are faucets, showerheads, toilets, and other plumbing products engineered to deliver the same—or better—performance while using significantly less water. They achieve this through aerators that mix air with the water stream, pressure-assisted or dual-flush technology in toilets, and precise flow regulators. All of the products we install carry the EPA WaterSense® label, which certifies they are at least 20 % more efficient than standard models without sacrificing function.
How much water and money can I expect to save by upgrading my fixtures in Bean Station?
Savings vary by household size and the number of fixtures replaced, but the averages are impressive. A WaterSense® high-efficiency toilet can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons of water and about $140 on utility bills every year. Replacing just one bathroom faucet aerator can cut water consumption by about 700 gallons annually. When we retrofit an entire home, Bean Station homeowners typically see overall water-use reductions of 20-35 %, which translates to $100–$300 in combined water and energy savings per year.
Which fixtures do you replace and what brands do you carry?
We can replace toilets, bathroom and kitchen faucets, showerheads, utility/laundry faucets, and outdoor hose bibbs. Popular brands we stock and recommend include Kohler, Delta, Moen, TOTO, American Standard, Niagara, and Gerber because each offers a full line of WaterSense®-certified models. If you prefer another manufacturer, let us know—our licensed plumbers can install any fixture that meets local code.
Are there rebates or incentives available in the Bean Station area for installing water-efficient fixtures?
Yes. Bean Station residents served by the Hamblen County Utility District or Hawkins County Gas & Water may qualify for fixture rebates (typically $25–$50 per toilet or faucet) when they install WaterSense® products. The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation also offers occasional seasonal rebates. We stay current on all programs and will prepare the paperwork for you, including proof of purchase and installation, to ensure you receive every dollar of available savings.
Will replacing fixtures disrupt my water service and how long does the job take?
Most single-fixture swaps take 30–90 minutes, so your water is off only briefly while we disconnect the old unit and tie in the new one. A full-house retrofit—three toilets, multiple faucets, and showerheads—usually wraps up in one business day. We schedule installations at your convenience, protect floors and countertops, and haul away the old fixtures for recycling or proper disposal.
Do low-flow fixtures decrease water pressure or shower comfort?
Modern water-saving fixtures are designed to feel anything but weak. Aerators and variable-spray designs maintain a strong, satisfying stream while using less water. In fact, many customers tell us their new showerheads feel better than the originals. If your home already has pressure issues, we can evaluate the plumbing system and recommend adjustments—such as pressure-balancing valves or pipe upgrades—so you get optimal performance with maximum efficiency.
