FAQs
What is a WaterSense-rated plumbing fixture, and why should I choose one for my Mountain City home?
WaterSense is an EPA program that certifies faucets, showerheads, toilets, and other fixtures that use at least 20 % less water than the federal standard while meeting strict performance tests. Choosing WaterSense products helps Mountain City homeowners lower utility bills, reduce demand on local water supplies, and comply with the region’s increasing emphasis on conservation—all without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Which plumbing fixtures can be replaced with WaterSense models?
Nearly every water-using fixture inside a home now has a WaterSense alternative. The most popular replacements include high-efficiency toilets (1.28 gpf or less), bathroom faucets and aerators (1.2 gpm), showerheads (2.0 gpm), and some irrigation controllers. Our licensed plumbers can assess your kitchen, baths, and outdoor hose bibs to recommend the best WaterSense upgrades for each location.
How much water and money could I save by upgrading?
Savings vary by household size and fixture condition, but the EPA estimates a typical family can cut indoor water use by about 30 %, or 13,000 gallons per year, by switching to WaterSense toilets, faucets, and showerheads. In Mountain City that translates to roughly $120–$150 in annual water and sewer charges, plus additional savings on the energy used to heat less hot water.
Are local rebates or incentives available in Mountain City for WaterSense installations?
Yes. Mountain City’s municipal utility and several surrounding water districts periodically offer bill credits of $50–$100 per qualifying WaterSense toilet and $10–$20 per faucet or showerhead. Programs change each fiscal year, so we help customers complete the required forms and provide the manufacturer certificates to ensure you receive any available incentive at the time of installation.
Will a WaterSense fixture perform as well as my current fixture?
Absolutely. To earn the WaterSense label, products must pass third-party tests for flow rate, spray force, flushing power, and longevity. Modern high-efficiency toilets use optimized bowl design and larger trapways to clear waste with less water, and aerated faucets maintain strong pressure while reducing flow. In most cases, homeowners notice equal or better performance along with quieter operation and lower utility bills.
What is involved in the replacement process, and how long does it take?
After a free on-site assessment, we present fixture options, rebate details, and a written quote. On installation day, our Mountain City-licensed plumbers shut off the water, remove old fixtures, inspect supply lines and shut-off valves, install new WaterSense models, and test for leaks and proper operation. A single toilet or faucet swap usually takes 1–2 hours; a full-home upgrade can be completed in one day. All old fixtures are hauled away for recycling, and we register your new products for warranty coverage.
