FAQs
How can I tell if my showerhead in Oneida needs to be replaced rather than cleaned?
Persistent issues such as uneven spray patterns, low water pressure after cleaning, visible cracks, mineral-encrusted nozzles that won’t clear with vinegar soaks, or leaks around the swivel ball usually mean the internal parts are worn out. In those cases, replacing the fixture is more cost-effective than additional cleanings or gasket changes.
What types of replacement showerheads do you offer for Oneida homes?
We stock a full range of models—including fixed, handheld, dual combination, rain-style, low-flow (WaterSense®-certified), massage, and filtered units. Finishes span chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, and specialty options to match existing décor. Our plumbers can explain spray patterns, flow rates, and special features like pause buttons or anti-scald technology so you can choose the perfect fit.
Will replacing my old showerhead really save water and lower my utility bills?
Yes. Many pre-1995 fixtures deliver 3–5 gallons per minute (gpm). Today’s WaterSense® models use no more than 2.0 gpm without sacrificing performance, trimming up to 2,700 gallons per year for an average household. Less hot water use also reduces energy consumption for your water heater, so you can see an overall utility savings of 5–15 % depending on shower frequency.
How long does a professional showerhead replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
For a straightforward swap, our licensed Oneida plumber needs about 20–30 minutes. Water is turned off only at the shower valve—typically for 10 minutes—so the rest of your home’s plumbing remains operational. If we’re also replacing supply piping, valves, or installing a slide bar, the visit can extend to 1–2 hours but rarely requires an all-day shut-off.
Can I replace a showerhead myself or should I hire a licensed Oneida plumber?
Many homeowners can handle a basic screw-on replacement with Teflon tape. However, professional installation is recommended if the existing shower arm is corroded, if you want to upgrade to a multi-function or thermostatic unit, or if you have hard-to-reach piping behind tiled walls. A licensed plumber ensures watertight seals, correct flow-rate compliance with New York State code, and preserves your product warranty.
What is the average cost of a showerhead replacement in Oneida and do you offer warranties?
Standard replacements range from $120–$250 installed, which includes the fixture, labor, new washers, and thread sealant. Premium rain or multi-function units can run $300–$600. All parts we supply carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5 to 10 years—and our workmanship is backed by a 1-year service guarantee. We provide upfront, written estimates before any work begins.
