FAQs
What qualifies as a high-efficiency toilet (HET) and why should Maryville homeowners consider one?
A high-efficiency toilet is defined by the EPA’s WaterSense program as using 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less while meeting rigorous performance tests. Traditional toilets installed before the 1990s often use 3.5–7 gpf. Switching to an HET can cut indoor water use by up to 30 %, lower utility bills by $100–$150 annually for a family of four, and meet Maryville’s plumbing code, which now requires 1.6 gpf or less on new installations.
Are rebates or incentives available in Maryville, TN for installing a WaterSense-labeled toilet?
Yes. Maryville Utilities partners with TVA’s EnergyRight® Program to offer water-saving incentives that often include a $50–$75 rebate per qualifying toilet. Eligibility usually requires a WaterSense label, professional installation, and proof that the old fixture is recycled. We handle all paperwork and will submit your rebate application on your behalf.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my bathroom be out of service?
Most replacements are completed in 1.5–2 hours from shut-off to final test. Your bathroom’s water supply is off only during that window; afterward you can use the new toilet immediately. Flooring or flange repairs may add an extra hour, but we’ll let you know beforehand so you can plan accordingly.
Will a high-efficiency toilet clog more easily than my old 3.5 gpf model?
No. Modern HETs use redesigned trapways, larger flush valves, and optimized bowl geometry to maintain—or exceed—the flush performance of older high-volume toilets. Models we install undergo Maximum Performance (MaP) testing of 1,000 g or above, meaning they can move at least 1 kg of waste in one flush, minimizing the risk of clogs.
What should I expect the total cost of a high-efficiency toilet replacement to be in Maryville?
For a standard replacement, most homeowners spend $475–$725 installed. This covers a WaterSense-labeled toilet, new wax ring or rubber seal, supply line, disposal of the old unit, and labor. Premium pressure-assist or skirted one-piece models range from $900–$1,300 installed. Rebates and lower water bills typically offset the upfront cost within 2–3 years.
How do you dispose of my old toilet and is it environmentally friendly?
We remove the old toilet, separate any recyclable metal parts, and transport the porcelain to a local concrete recycler in Blount County. The porcelain is crushed into aggregate used for roadbeds and fill, keeping it out of landfills. You’ll receive a recycling confirmation on your invoice for documentation.
