FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a dual-flush toilet in Harrison?
Dual-flush toilets let you choose a reduced (half-flush) or full-flush volume, cutting water use by up to 60 %. In Harrison, where water and sewer rates have risen steadily over the last decade, that can translate into savings of 10,000–20,000 litres and $75–$150 per household each year. Less water usage also lowers strain on the municipal treatment plant and supports the town’s sustainability goals.
Will a dual-flush toilet fit my existing rough-in and plumbing connections?
Most modern dual-flush models are designed for the standard 305 mm (12 inch) rough-in that already exists in the majority of Harrison homes. We verify the rough-in length during our free site visit, check flange height and condition, and confirm that the cold-water shut-off valve is positioned correctly. If you have a 254 mm (10 inch) or 406 mm (14 inch) rough-in, we can order specialty bases or offset flanges to ensure a perfect fit.
How long does a toilet replacement typically take?
A straightforward swap—removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or wax-free seal, setting the dual-flush unit, and testing—takes 1.5 to 2 hours. If flange repairs, floor shimming, or supply-line relocation are required, the visit can run 3–4 hours. We bring all common repair parts on the truck so most jobs are completed in a single appointment.
Are there rebates or incentives for dual-flush toilets in Harrison?
Yes. Westchester County’s SmartWater program currently offers a $75 rebate for WaterSense-certified dual-flush toilets rated at 4.8 Lpf/3 Lpf or better. Several local utility districts serving Harrison also credit up to $1.50 per 1,000 gallons saved in the first year. We provide the model documentation and filled-out forms so you can submit the rebate online or by mail.
How do I maintain a dual-flush mechanism compared with a standard toilet?
Dual-flush valves use canister or tower seals instead of flappers. These seals last 5–7 years on average and cost about $12 to replace. Avoid in-tank blue cleaners—they degrade rubber washers. Once a year, turn off the water, pop off the actuator buttons, and rinse the valve seal to remove mineral buildup common in Harrison’s moderately hard water (about 7 grains per gallon). We leave every customer with a printed maintenance guide and part numbers.
What if my new toilet clogs or leaks after installation?
We include a two-year labour warranty on every toilet replacement. If you notice a leak at the base, intermittent tank refilling, or recurrent clogging, call us and we’ll return within 24 hours at no charge. All toilets we install carry a manufacturer’s limited lifetime china warranty and a five-year warranty on internal moving parts. For added peace of mind, we also offer an optional annual service plan that covers seal renewal, performance checks, and water-efficiency testing.
