FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my current toilet to a modern model?
New toilets use as little as 4.8 L per flush compared with 13 L or more in many older units, so you can cut bathroom water use by up to 60 %. Modern designs also offer quieter operation, better bowl-cleaning technology, and sleeker profiles that refresh the whole bathroom. In Wartburg’s hard-water environment, newer glazing and rimless designs also resist mineral buildup, reducing cleaning time and extending the life of internal parts.
What styles and technologies do you install for Wartburg homeowners?
We supply and fit a full range of modern toilets, including single-flush and dual-flush close-coupled models, skirted one-piece units for a seamless look, wall-hung systems with concealed tanks, and comfort-height ADA-compliant bowls. Options such as soft-close seats, bidet-wash functions, night lights, and touchless flush sensors can be added to most models. All units we recommend carry WaterSense or equivalent CSA certification for efficiency and are backed by manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
For a straightforward swap—removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax-free seal, setting the new unit, and testing—plan on 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Your home’s main water supply is usually off for only 15-20 minutes while we disconnect and reconnect the fixture; the rest of the time we work with the branch line shut. If we discover flange damage, hidden leaks, or floor rot, we will discuss repairs with you on the spot, which can add another 1-3 hours.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Wartburg?
The Town of Wartburg does not currently require a plumbing permit for a like-for-like toilet replacement in an existing residential bathroom. However, if we have to relocate the drain, alter the vent stack, or make structural floor changes, a municipal permit and inspection are required. Our team stays up to date with local bylaws and will handle any necessary paperwork and scheduling with the Wartburg Building Department on your behalf.
Will a high-efficiency toilet actually lower my water bill?
Yes. A family of four flushing a modern 4.8 L dual-flush toilet can save roughly 60 m³ of water per year compared with a 13 L unit—that is about $95–$120 annually on typical Wartburg water rates. Over the expected 20-year life of the toilet, savings can exceed the cost of the fixture and installation several times over. Additional savings come from reduced need for tank-cleaning chemicals because of enhanced bowl-wash technology.
What does a modern toilet upgrade cost and what factors affect the price?
Installed prices in Wartburg range from $450–$750 for a basic WaterSense two-piece toilet, $750–$1,200 for a skirted one-piece or comfort-height model, and $1,500+ for wall-hung or bidet-integrated units. Variables include the fixture brand and style, seat and flush-sensor options, distance from our warehouse (rural deliveries may incur a surcharge), and any repairs needed to the flange, supply line, or subfloor. We provide a fixed written quote after a free on-site assessment, and all work carries a 1-year labour warranty plus the manufacturer’s parts warranty.
