FAQs
What touch-free toilet options are available for homes and businesses in Greeneville?
We install several hands-free solutions, including motion-sensor flushometer valves for commercial restrooms, residential smart toilets with built-in automatic flushing, retrofit sensor kits that convert a standard tank-type toilet to touch-free operation, and full high-efficiency one-piece smart toilets that also feature touch-free lids and bidet functions.
How difficult is it to replace my current toilet with a touch-free model?
In most cases the process is no more complicated than a standard toilet replacement. Our licensed plumbers shut off the water, remove the old unit, inspect the flange, set the new bowl with a wax or rubber seal, and connect the sensor-controlled flush mechanism to the water supply and power source (battery pack or nearby GFCI outlet). Residential installs are usually completed in 2–3 hours; commercial flushometer swaps can be finished in under an hour per fixture.
Will a sensor-activated toilet save water?
Yes. Modern touch-free toilets and flush valves are programmed for optimal water usage—typically 1.28 gpf or less for tank-type models and dual-flush 1.1/1.6 gpf for flushometers. Because the electronics prevent double-flushing and stop users from holding the handle down, studies show a 15–30 % reduction in water consumption compared with manual fixtures.
What power source do touch-free toilets require?
Most residential smart toilets plug into a standard 120-V GFCI outlet and have battery backup. Retrofit sensor kits and commercial flushometers generally operate on long-life lithium batteries (3–5 years) or low-voltage hard-wired transformers. During our site visit we’ll recommend the best option and handle any minor electrical work needed to meet code.
How much do touch-free toilet upgrades cost in the Greeneville area?
Pricing varies by product and site conditions, but as a guideline: • Retrofit sensor kit installed on an existing toilet: $225–$350. • Commercial flushometer replacement: $450–$650. • Mid-range residential smart toilet: $1,200–$1,800 installed. • Premium one-piece smart toilet with bidet and heated seat: $3,000–$4,500 installed. We provide free, no-obligation estimates that outline equipment, labor and permit fees.
Do hands-free toilets require special maintenance?
Routine care is very similar to a standard toilet: keep the bowl clean with non-abrasive cleaners and check for leaks periodically. For battery-powered units, you’ll need to replace batteries every few years (a low-battery indicator light will alert you). We recommend an annual service visit where we clean sensor lenses, verify flush volumes, and update firmware on smart models. All products we install come with manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind our labor for a full year.
