FAQs
How much water can I save by switching to water-saving faucets in Gruetli-Laager?
Modern EPA WaterSense-certified faucets use no more than 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) versus the 2.2 gpm of many older models—a reduction of roughly 30 %. For an average Gruetli-Laager household that runs a bathroom faucet about 8 minutes a day, this translates to 1,700–1,800 gallons of water saved per year. At current Grundy County water rates, that is usually $25–$30 in annual utility savings, not including the additional energy you save on heating less water.
Will a low-flow faucet lower my water pressure or make hand-washing harder?
Water-saving faucets are engineered with high-efficiency aerators that inject air into the stream, maintaining a strong, splash-free flow while using less water. Most homeowners do not notice a difference in pressure; you will still have enough flow for routine tasks such as hand-washing, shaving, and dish-rinsing. If you prefer an adjustable stream, we can install aerators with multiple settings so you can temporarily increase flow when needed.
Are water-saving faucets compatible with my existing sink or shower valves?
Yes. WaterSense faucets come in the same mounting configurations—centerset, widespread, single-hole, and wall-mount—as standard fixtures. In almost every case we can retrofit a new low-flow faucet onto your current sink or tub without altering supply lines or shut-off valves. During our free site visit, we verify thread sizes, reach, and clearances so you know precisely which models will fit before any work begins.
What is the typical installation process and downtime?
A standard bathroom or kitchen faucet replacement takes 60–90 minutes per fixture. We start by shutting off local supply valves, disconnecting old supply lines, removing the existing faucet, inspecting the deck or wall for corrosion, and installing new braided stainless supply hoses with the replacement faucet. Once the aerator is flushed and tested, we restore water service. Your sink is usually usable immediately, with caulking cured in about 30 minutes.
Are rebates or incentives available locally for water-efficient fixtures?
While the City of Gruetli-Laager does not currently offer a direct faucet rebate, the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) provides annual WaterSense rebate vouchers for selected ZIP codes, including 37339, when budget allows. We handle the paperwork free of charge and supply you with EPA product model numbers and receipts required for submission. Many homeowner-insurance green-upgrade riders will also reimburse up to 10% of project cost—ask your insurer.
How much will a water-saving faucet replacement cost, and is there a warranty?
Installed pricing in Gruetli-Laager typically ranges from $185 to $295 per faucet, depending on style, finish, and whether shut-off valves need upgrading. This includes the WaterSense faucet, stainless steel supply lines, labor, haul-away of the old fixture, and disposal fees. All faucets we install carry the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on mechanical parts and finish. Our workmanship is additionally covered by a 2-year labor warranty, so if anything leaks or loosens, we return at no charge.
