FAQs
What makes a toilet "water-saving" or "high-efficiency"?
Water-saving toilets are models that use 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF) or less, as defined by the U.S. Energy Policy Act. High-efficiency toilets (HETs) go a step further, using 1.28 GPF or less, and dual-flush HETs average about 1.1 GPF because they offer a reduced-volume flush for liquid waste. All of the fixtures we install are EPA WaterSense-certified, meaning they have been independently tested to perform equal to or better than older 3.5 GPF toilets while using at least 20 % less water.
How much water—and money—can I expect to save by replacing my old toilet?
If your current toilet was made before 1994, it likely uses 3.5–5 GPF. Replacing just one such toilet with a 1.28 GPF WaterSense model can save a Jefferson City household about 13,000 gallons of water per year—roughly $100–$120 on annual water and sewer charges, based on Missouri American Water’s 2024 rate schedule. Multifamily and commercial properties see even larger cumulative savings.
Are rebates or incentives available in Jefferson City for installing a water-saving toilet?
Yes. Missouri American Water periodically offers bill credits for verified WaterSense toilet replacements, and the City of Jefferson’s Residential Energy Efficiency Program has included $50–$100 rebates when funding is available. We will help you complete the rebate paperwork, provide dated receipts and model numbers, and submit required disposal verification so you get every dollar you qualify for.
Will a low-flow or dual-flush toilet clog more easily than my old one?
Modern water-saving toilets are engineered with optimized trapways and flush valves that create higher water velocity, so they actually clear waste more effectively than pre-1990 designs. Independent MaP (Maximum Performance) testing shows many WaterSense toilets handle 1,000 grams of waste in a single flush—more than double the industry baseline. We exclusively install models with MaP Premium ratings and provide a one-year no-clog guarantee for normal residential use.
What is the typical cost and timeline for replacing a toilet in Jefferson City?
For a standard residential replacement, expect a turnkey price range of $475–$825, which includes the WaterSense-certified toilet, new wax ring or rubber seal, supply line, disposal of the old fixture, labor, and sales tax. Most installations take 1.5–2 hours. If flange repair, shut-off valve replacement, or floor leveling is needed, we’ll give you a firm quote before we start. Same-day and weekend appointments are available at no additional charge inside Cole County.
Do you recycle the old toilet and other plumbing fixtures you remove?
Absolutely. Porcelain tanks and bowls are transported to Midwest Recycling in Columbia, where they’re crushed for use as aggregate in road-base material. Metal parts such as trip levers, bolts, and supply lines go to a local scrap recycler, and any remaining components are disposed of in accordance with the Jefferson City Solid Waste Division’s construction-debris guidelines. You receive a disposal certificate upon request, which you can attach to rebate applications or keep for your records.
