FAQs
What qualifies as a high-efficiency toilet (HET), and how much water can I expect to save in my New Market home?
High-efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less, compared with the older 3.5- to 7-GPF models common in many New Market homes. By upgrading, the average family of four can save roughly 13,000–15,000 gallons of water each year, lowering water bills by 20–30 % and conserving a valuable local resource.
Are dual-flush toilets worth the investment compared with single-flush HET models?
Dual-flush toilets give you two flushing options—typically 0.8–1.1 GPF for liquid waste and 1.28 GPF for solids. They cost slightly more up front (about $50–$100 extra) but can cut water use another 10–15 % if everyone in the household uses the “light” flush correctly. For homes focused on maximum water savings, dual-flush is an excellent choice, especially with New Market’s rising utility rates.
Will a high-efficiency toilet work with my existing plumbing and sewer line?
In most cases, yes. HETs are designed with the same rough-in dimensions (most commonly 12 inches) and flange sizes as standard toilets. During our on-site inspection we verify flange height, trapway alignment, venting, and water-supply location. If your current flange is damaged or sits below finished floor level, we can install a spacer or replace the flange to ensure a leak-free connection.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will I be left without a working bathroom?
A straightforward removal and installation usually takes 1.5–2 hours. We schedule jobs so that you’re without a toilet for the shortest time possible—often less than an hour. For homes with only one bathroom, we can provide a temporary portable unit on request or schedule the work when it’s most convenient for your household.
Are there rebates or incentives available in New Market for installing high-efficiency toilets?
Yes. Frederick County and select New Market water providers periodically offer rebates of $50–$100 per qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilet, and Maryland’s Be SMART Home program may provide additional incentives for whole-house efficiency upgrades. We handle all paperwork, provide proof of purchase, and submit rebate forms so you receive the credit quickly.
What happens to my old toilet after replacement, and is there a warranty on the new unit and installation?
We remove your old toilet, recycle any porcelain that qualifies, and dispose of remaining materials in accordance with Frederick County regulations—nothing ends up in local landfills unnecessarily. Most WaterSense toilets come with a manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty, and our workmanship is covered by a 2-year labor warranty. If any installation-related issue arises within that period, we repair it at no cost.
