FAQs
How do water-saving toilets differ from standard toilets?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) and dual-flush models use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared with older 3.5–7 gpf fixtures. They rely on redesigned trapways, gravity-assist bowls, and pressurized or siphon jet technology to clear waste with far less water. You get the same performance while cutting water consumption by 20–60 %, meeting current New Jersey plumbing code and EPA WaterSense criteria.
What amount of water and money can I expect to save in Sparta by switching?
For a family of four, replacing one 3.5 gpf toilet with a 1.28 gpf WaterSense model saves roughly 13,000 gallons of water per year. At Sparta’s average municipal water/sewer rate of about $0.010–$0.012 per gallon, that equals $130–$155 annually. If you upgrade two or three toilets, savings multiply and typically pay for the installation in 2–3 years.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Sparta for high-efficiency toilet replacements?
Yes. Through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program and select Sussex County utilities, homeowners may qualify for a $50–$100 mail-in rebate when installing WaterSense-certified toilets of 1.28 gpf or lower. Our office provides the paperwork, proof-of-purchase, and certification info so you can submit your application immediately after installation.
Will a water-saving toilet provide enough flushing power for my household?
Modern HETs are engineered to pass industry MaP (Maximum Performance) testing, clearing 600–1,000 g of waste per flush—often outperforming the older 3.5 gpf units. We stock gravity, pressure-assist, and dual-flush options and match the model to your home’s water pressure and drain stack design to ensure one-flush performance even for larger families.
What is the typical cost and installation timeline?
Most WaterSense toilets range from $250–$450 for the fixture, plus $225–$325 for professional installation, wax ring, supply line, and disposal of the old unit. We perform a free on-site evaluation, then schedule the swap at your convenience. Standard replacements take 1.5–2 hours per toilet; complex flange repairs or floor adjustments may add 30–60 minutes.
Do you handle removal of my old toilet and ensure environmentally responsible disposal?
Absolutely. Our licensed Sparta plumbers disconnect, drain, and remove the existing fixture, protect your flooring, and transport the old porcelain to a local recycling center where it is crushed for use as road base or aggregate. We also verify that any residual water is disposed of per Sussex County environmental regulations, so you have nothing to worry about.
