FAQs
Why should I replace my current plumbing fixtures with water-efficient models?
Modern WaterSense®-certified faucets, showerheads, and toilets use 20–60 % less water than older fixtures without sacrificing performance. That translates into lower monthly water bills, reduced strain on Winfield’s municipal supply, and a smaller environmental footprint. Over the lifetime of a fixture, the savings usually outweigh the upfront cost several times over.
What types of water-saving fixtures do you install in Winfield homes and businesses?
We supply and install high-efficiency toilets (HETs ≤ 1.28 gpf), dual-flush toilets, WaterSense lavatory faucets (≤ 1.2 gpm), low-flow showerheads (≤ 2.0 gpm), pressure-assist urinals, and smart irrigation controllers. All models we carry are third-party tested for performance and come with manufacturer warranties.
Are there rebates or incentives available for upgrading to water-efficient fixtures in Winfield?
Yes. The DuPage Water Commission periodically offers rebates of $50–$100 for HET and dual-flush toilets, and Nicor Gas provides rebates for qualifying high-efficiency showerheads and faucet aerators when paired with gas water heaters. We handle the paperwork and provide all model and installation documentation to ensure you receive every credit for which you qualify.
How much does a typical fixture replacement cost, and what factors influence the price?
Pricing depends on fixture type, brand, and installation complexity. On average in Winfield: • Faucets: $180–$350 installed • Showerheads: $120–$250 installed • Toilets: $450–$750 installed Variables include rough-in adjustments, flooring repairs, or old valve replacements. We give a fixed, written quote after an on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.
How long does installation take and will my water service be disrupted?
Most single-fixture replacements take 1–2 hours. A full bathroom retrofit (toilet, faucet, and showerhead) is usually completed in half a day. We shut off the water only at the fixture supply lines, so household water remains available everywhere else. When a main shutoff is necessary, it’s typically less than 30 minutes.
What maintenance or care do water-efficient fixtures require after installation?
Routine cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners is all that’s required. We recommend aerator screens be rinsed every six months to remove mineral buildup common in Winfield’s moderately hard water. For dual-flush and pressure-assist toilets, an annual gasket inspection keeps seals tight. All components we install have readily available replacement parts, and we offer a discounted service plan for periodic checkups.
