FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a water-efficient toilet in Ocoee?
Older toilets manufactured before 1994 typically use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf). Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) certified by the EPA’s WaterSense program use 1.28 gpf or less—up to 60 % less water every time you flush. Given Ocoee’s rising utility rates and the city’s conservation goals, upgrading helps you lower monthly water bills, reduce strain on septic or sewer systems, and support local sustainability initiatives without sacrificing performance.
What types of water-efficient toilets do you install and how do they differ?
We offer three main categories: • Single-flush HETs (1.28 gpf): Straightforward, reliable, and budget-friendly. • Dual-flush toilets (0.8 gpf for liquids/1.28 gpf for solids): Give users control over water use and can average 0.9–1.1 gpf overall. • Pressure-assist or vacuum-assist models: Use pressurized air to boost flushing power at 1.0–1.28 gpf—ideal for households that need extra bowl-clearing force. All models we recommend carry the WaterSense label, meet local plumbing codes, and come in comfort-height and ADA-compliant options.
How much can I expect to save by replacing my old toilet?
Swapping a 3.5 gpf toilet for a 1.28 gpf model saves about 2.2 gallons per flush. In an average four-person Ocoee household flushing 5 times per person per day, that’s roughly 16,000 gallons saved each year. At current Ocoee utility rates (~$0.005 per gallon including sewer fees), the annual savings is about $80–$100. Over a toilet’s 20-year lifespan, the upgrade can pay for itself several times over and conserve more than 300,000 gallons of drinking water.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Ocoee, and do you handle the paperwork?
A simple like-for-like toilet replacement generally does not require a building permit in Ocoee, but if we must alter drainage lines, move the flange, or add a new water supply, a minor plumbing permit may be required under Orange County code. Our licensed plumbers check the project scope during the estimate, pull any necessary permits, and schedule required inspections at no extra hassle to you.
How long will the installation take and will my bathroom be out of service?
Most straight replacements take 1–2 hours from shut-off to cleanup. More complex jobs—such as flange repair, subfloor reinforcement, or relocating the rough-in—can extend to half a day. We protect floors, remove and recycle the old fixture, install the new toilet, test for leaks, and haul away debris. Your bathroom is usually fully operational the same day, and we leave the workspace spotless.
Are rebates or incentives available for high-efficiency toilets in Ocoee?
Yes. The St. Johns River Water Management District, which covers Ocoee, periodically offers residential rebates of $50–$100 for WaterSense-labeled toilets that replace units using 3.5 gpf or more. Additionally, Ocoee’s utility department sometimes offers bill credits for multi-family properties upgrading multiple fixtures. We provide up-to-date forms, verify eligibility, and supply model numbers and proof of purchase so you can claim every available incentive.
