FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my toilet instead of repairing my old one?
Most toilets manufactured before 1994 use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf), almost triple the 1.28–1.6 gpf of today’s high-efficiency models. Replacing an aging fixture eliminates chronic clogs, leaks, and wobbling tanks, lowers monthly water and sewer bills by up to 30 %, and brings your bathroom up to current plumbing code. A new toilet also gives you the opportunity to improve comfort height, add powerful flushing technology, and choose finishes that match a modern design.
What types of modern toilets are available for installation in Oneida homes?
We install all major styles, including: • High-Efficiency Toilets (HET) at 1.28 gpf or less • Dual-flush models that offer separate 0.8 gpf and 1.28 gpf buttons • Pressure-assisted toilets that use compressed air for commercial-grade power • Compact one-piece or wall-hung units for tight spaces • ADA/comfort-height bowls (17–19 in.) for easier sitting and standing • Smart toilets with bidet seats, warm air dryers, and night lights. Our team helps you compare brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Niagara to find the best fit for your household.
How much water can I save with a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet?
An average family of four flushes roughly 12,000 gallons of water per year with a 3.5 gpf toilet. Switching to a 1.28 gpf HET can cut that figure to 4,400 gallons—saving about 7,600 gallons annually. A dual-flush model can push savings even higher, because most trips only require the half-flush (0.8 gpf). At Oneida’s current water and sewer rates, that translates to $70–$110 in yearly utility savings, paying back the upgrade cost in 3–5 years while conserving a valuable natural resource.
What is the typical cost and timeline for a professional toilet replacement in Oneida?
Pricing depends on the toilet you choose, but here are local averages: • Standard high-efficiency two-piece toilet, installed: $575–$775 • One-piece or comfort-height model: $700–$950 • Smart or wall-hung unit: $1,200–$3,000+ Labor usually runs 1.5–3 hours if no flange repairs are needed. We schedule most jobs within 2–3 business days, arrive with floor protection, install the new wax ring or rubber seal, set and level the bowl, connect the supply line, test for leaks, and haul away the old fixture. Complex flange or subfloor repairs can add a day and $150–$400 in material and labor.
Do I need a plumbing permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Oneida?
The City of Oneida does not require a permit when you are swapping an existing toilet for a new one without altering the drain, vent, or water supply piping. If the project involves moving the toilet to a new location, changing the drain size, or opening the floor, a plumbing permit and inspection from the Oneida Codes & Zoning Office will be necessary. Our licensed plumbers handle all permit paperwork whenever it is required and ensure your installation meets New York State Plumbing Code and local low-flow regulations.
Can you dispose of my old toilet and ensure environmentally responsible recycling?
Yes. As part of our full-service replacement package, we remove your old toilet, separate recyclable components (porcelain, metal bolts, plastic seats), and transport them to the Madison County Recycling Center, where porcelain is crushed for road-bed aggregate and metals are recycled. This keeps bulky waste out of landfills. If you prefer to keep the old toilet for garden use (e.g., planter or yard art), just let us know and we’ll leave it cleaned and ready for repurposing.
