FAQs
What are the benefits of upgrading my toilet?
Upgrading your toilet can bring numerous benefits, including improved water efficiency, better flushing performance, and enhanced comfort. Newer models often feature dual-flush mechanisms, allowing you to choose between a low or high flush depending on your needs, which can significantly reduce water consumption. Additionally, modern designs can contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing bathroom and may include features like better height options and built-in bidets.
How do I know if it's time to replace my toilet?
Consider replacing your toilet if it frequently clogs, leaks, runs constantly, or requires multiple repairs. Also, if your toilet is over 25 years old, it might be time to upgrade to a more efficient and water-saving model. Visible cracks in the porcelain or recurring issues with flushing are strong indicators that a replacement is necessary.
What types of toilets are available for replacement?
There are several types of toilets to choose from, including traditional two-piece toilets, sleek one-piece models, and wall-mounted options. Each comes with various features such as elongated or round bowls, different flushing mechanisms (gravity-fed, pressure-assisted, or dual-flush), and comfort height options. Depending on your bathroom layout and personal preferences, our experts can help you select the best fit.
How long does it take to replace a toilet?
The replacement process can vary depending on the complexity of the job, but typically, it takes about 2 to 4 hours. This time frame includes removing the old toilet, preparing the area, installing the new unit, and ensuring everything is functioning correctly. Our professionals will work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Will a new toilet save me money on water bills?
Yes, installing a new, water-efficient toilet can lead to significant savings on your water bills. Many modern toilets use less than 1.28 gallons per flush compared to older models that might use 3.5 gallons or more. Over time, these savings can add up, making the initial investment in a new toilet worthwhile.
