FAQs
What qualifies as a high-efficiency toilet (HET) and why should I upgrade my current fixture?
A high-efficiency toilet uses 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less—about 20 % less water than the federal standard of 1.6 GPF. Upgrading lowers monthly water bills, conserves Tullahoma’s water supply, and often improves flushing performance thanks to redesigned bowls and pressure-assist technology.
Are high-efficiency toilets compatible with the existing plumbing in my Tullahoma home?
In most cases, yes. HETs are designed to fit standard 12-inch rough-in dimensions and typical floor flanges. During our in-home assessment we confirm rough-in distance, water-supply location, and floor condition to ensure a seamless swap without pipe modifications.
How long does a toilet replacement appointment usually take?
A straightforward replacement—including removal of the old unit, installation of the new HET, testing, and cleanup—takes 1.5 to 3 hours. If flange repairs, subfloor damage, or supply-line upgrades are needed, the visit can extend to half a day. We provide a time estimate after the onsite inspection.
What rebates or incentives are available for installing a high-efficiency toilet in Tullahoma?
City of Tullahoma residents can apply for the TUA WaterSmart rebate (currently up to $50 per qualifying HET). Tennessee Valley Authority occasionally offers seasonal efficiency incentives as well. We help you gather model numbers, proof of purchase, and installation documentation so you can submit the rebate forms quickly.
Will a high-efficiency model still provide strong flushing power?
Absolutely. Modern HETs use advanced bowl geometry, larger trapways, and either gravity-fed or pressure-assist mechanisms to clear waste effectively with less water. Many models surpass MaP (Maximum Performance) testing scores of 1,000 grams, meaning they outperform many older 3.5-GPF toilets.
How should I maintain my new high-efficiency toilet to maximize its lifespan?
Clean the bowl weekly with a non-abrasive cleaner, avoid drop-in tank tablets that can degrade seals, and inspect the flapper or seal every 2–3 years. Because HET parts are precisely engineered, using OEM replacement components is crucial. Our service team offers annual checkups to ensure the fill valve, flapper, and bolts stay in top shape.
