FAQs
What types of water-saving plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Cosby home?
Our licensed plumbers can install or replace high-efficiency toilets (HETs), dual-flush toilets, WaterSense-certified bathroom faucets, low-flow showerheads, pressure-balanced valves, water-saving kitchen faucets, and smart leak-detection shut-off valves. We also retrofit older fixtures with aerators and flow restrictors when full replacement is not required.
How much water can I expect to save by upgrading to new high-efficiency fixtures?
Savings vary by fixture, but most Cosby homeowners reduce indoor water use 20–40%. For example, replacing a 3.5-gallon toilet with a 1.28-gallon HET saves about 13,000 gallons per year for a four-person household. Installing a WaterSense faucet aerator cuts bathroom sink flow from 2.2 gpm to 1.2 gpm, saving roughly 700 gallons annually per faucet.
Will low-flow fixtures lower my water pressure or shower experience?
No. Modern WaterSense-labeled fixtures are engineered to maintain satisfying spray patterns and pressure while using less water. We only install products that pass rigorous performance testing. If your home has existing pressure issues, we diagnose and correct them (e.g., by cleaning supply lines or adjusting the pressure-reducing valve) before installing the new fixture.
Are there rebates or incentives for water-saving fixture replacements in Cosby or Tennessee?
Yes. Many local utilities, including Newport Utilities and Sevier County Utility District, periodically offer bill credits or mail-in rebates—typically $25–$100 per high-efficiency toilet or smart leak-detector. The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation also lists state-wide WaterSense rebate programs. We guide you through the paperwork and provide the required proof-of-installation documents.
How long does a typical water-saving fixture replacement take, and will it disrupt my household?
Most single-fixture replacements (toilet, faucet, or showerhead) take 1–2 hours, including removal, installation, testing, and cleanup. For whole-home fixture upgrades, we usually complete work in one business day. We coordinate scheduling, isolate only the plumbing zone we’re working on, and restore water service before we leave, so disruption is minimal.
What does it cost to replace fixtures with water-efficient models, and when will I see a return on investment?
Installed costs in Cosby generally range from $250–$475 for a WaterSense toilet, $150–$275 for a high-efficiency bathroom faucet, and $125–$225 for a low-flow showerhead (labor and disposal included). With current water and sewer rates, most households recoup the investment in 1–3 years through lower utility bills—often sooner when rebates are applied. After payback, the ongoing savings put money back in your pocket every month.
