FAQs
What types of water-saving fixtures can you install in my Wartburg home?
We supply and install a full range of EPA WaterSense-certified products, including low-flow toilets (dual-flush and pressure-assist models), high-efficiency showerheads, aerated or laminar-flow bathroom and kitchen faucets, touchless faucets, and smart leak-detection valves. We also replace older washing machine and dishwasher valves with high-efficiency, anti-flood options. All fixtures meet Tennessee plumbing code and are selected to match your home’s style and water-pressure requirements.
How much water and money can I save by upgrading to high-efficiency fixtures?
Savings vary by household size, but the average Wartburg family that replaces a 3.5-gallon toilet with a 1.28-gallon WaterSense model saves about 13,000 gallons and $120 on water bills per year. Swapping a standard 2.5 GPM showerhead for a 1.5 GPM unit cuts shower water use by roughly 40 %, while aerated faucets reduce sink consumption by 30 %. Combined, a whole-home upgrade can trim 20,000–25,000 gallons annually—often paying for itself in two to three years.
Will water-efficient fixtures reduce my water pressure or shower comfort?
Modern water-saving fixtures are engineered to maintain the feel of higher flow rates. Showerheads use pressure-compensating nozzles or air-infusion technology to deliver a strong, even spray, while faucets rely on aerators that mix air with water to preserve rinsing power. During our consultation we test your static and dynamic water pressure and recommend models that provide optimal performance for your plumbing system, so you won’t notice a drop in comfort—only in water usage.
Are rebates or incentives available in Wartburg or Morgan County for installing WaterSense fixtures?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) periodically offers bill credits for qualifying WaterSense toilets and showerheads purchased through participating retailers. The City of Wartburg also provides a one-time $25 water bill credit when you submit proof of replacing an older toilet with a high-efficiency model. We stay updated on all current programs, handle the required paperwork, and supply itemized receipts and WaterSense certification numbers to ensure you receive every available rebate.
Can you replace my existing fixtures without major renovations?
In most cases, yes. We perform like-for-like swaps that use your current supply lines and rough-in dimensions, minimizing drywall or tile disturbance. Toilets are replaced by disconnecting the water line, removing the old unit, installing a new wax ring or rubber gasket, and setting the new bowl on the existing flange. Faucets and showerheads simply thread onto present plumbing. If we find corroded shut-off valves or outdated supply lines, we can upgrade those components on the spot without altering surrounding finishes.
How long does a typical water-saving fixture replacement take and what does it cost?
A single toilet or faucet swap usually takes 60–90 minutes; a full bathroom retrofit (toilet, faucet, showerhead) is generally completed in half a day. Whole-home replacements—two bathrooms and a kitchen—can be finished in one day with minimal disruption to your routine. Costs depend on fixture style and technology: low-flow toilets start around $325 installed, showerheads $150–$225, and faucets $185–$325. We provide flat-rate, upfront pricing that includes removal and eco-friendly disposal of old fixtures, new supply lines, wax rings or gaskets, and a two-year labor warranty.
