FAQs
What types of water-saving plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Elora home?
We install and service high-efficiency toilets (HETs), dual-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, WaterSense-certified faucets, touchless faucets, smart leak-detecting valves, and ultra-high-efficiency (UHE) urinals for commercial spaces. All products meet or exceed Ontario Building Code and EPA WaterSense standards to ensure maximum water savings without sacrificing performance.
How much water can I expect to save by replacing my old fixtures?
Switching from a 13-Litre-per-flush toilet to a 4.8-L HET can cut toilet water use by up to 65 %. Low-flow showerheads reduce flow rates from 9.5 L/min to 6.6 L/min, saving roughly 30 %. Upgrading bathroom and kitchen faucets can lower usage from 8-11 L/min to 5.7 L/min. For an average Elora household, that means 60-90 m³ less water per year—equivalent to $120-$180 in utility savings at current Centre Wellington water rates.
Do you handle the entire replacement process, including disposal of old fixtures?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers perform a full turn-key service: site inspection and sizing, product recommendations, permit assistance (if required), scheduled installation, leak and performance testing, and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of removed fixtures in accordance with the County of Wellington’s waste-diversion guidelines.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Elora for installing water-efficient fixtures?
Currently, the Township of Centre Wellington offers a Toilet Rebate Program that provides up to $50 for each WaterSense HET installed (limit two per household). Certain insurers also give premium discounts when a smart leak-detection valve is installed. We’ll complete the paperwork and supply proof of purchase/installation so you can claim all available incentives.
Will low-flow fixtures affect my water pressure or shower experience?
Modern water-saving technology relies on aeration, pressure-compensating valves, and optimized spray patterns to maintain a satisfying flow. In most cases users notice little to no difference apart from reduced utility bills. During our consultation we test your incoming pressure and recommend models that match your household’s comfort expectations.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and what does it cost?
A single toilet swap takes about 1.5–2 hours, while replacing faucets or showerheads usually takes under an hour each. For a whole-home upgrade (toilets, three faucets, two showerheads) we schedule a half-day visit. Costs vary by product, but on average: HETs $375-$650 installed, faucets $190-$350 installed, low-flow showerheads $150-$250 installed. We provide an upfront, itemized quote and a two-year labour warranty on all installations.
