FAQs
What advantages does a cutting-edge smart toilet offer over a standard model?
Smart toilets combine advanced flushing mechanisms, built-in bidet functions, heated seats, deodorizing fans, and automatic lids to improve hygiene and comfort. Many models include self-cleaning glaze and UV sterilization to keep the bowl cleaner for longer. They also use sensors to deliver a powerful yet water-efficient flush every time, which can cut water use by 20-35 %. Reliance’s licensed plumbers are trained to install and program these features so you receive maximum benefit from day one.
Will upgrading to a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Traditional toilets use 13–20 L (3–5 gal) per flush, while today’s high-efficiency and dual-flush units average 4–6 L (1.1–1.6 gal). In a four-person household this can save 60–80 m³ of water per year—often $100–$150 in utility costs. Reliance supplies only WaterSense-certified fixtures, and our technicians will verify your home’s water pressure to ensure optimal performance and savings.
Can Reliance retrofit my current bathroom with touchless or app-controlled flushing?
In most cases, yes. Many smart-flush valves and sensor kits are designed to fit standard rough-in dimensions (10–12 in). Our team will inspect the existing supply line, tank clearance, and nearby power source (or recommend a concealed battery pack) before installation. If your bowl or tank is incompatible, we’ll provide replacement options that integrate seamlessly with the touchless system you prefer.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward swap of an existing toilet for a new model usually takes 60–90 minutes. Smart toilets that require a nearby GFCI outlet or bidet seat plumbing may extend the visit to 2–3 hours. Reliance only shuts off the local supply valve to the toilet, so the rest of your home keeps running water. We schedule appointments in convenient two-hour windows and clean the workspace before leaving.
Are there rebates or incentives available when I install a WaterSense-certified toilet with Reliance?
Many municipalities and utility providers offer $50–$150 rebates per fixture for WaterSense-certified replacements. Reliance keeps an up-to-date database of local programs and will provide the paperwork and model numbers you need to submit. We can even help you fill out online forms before we leave your home, so you receive your reimbursement faster.
What maintenance do advanced toilets need, and who services them after installation?
Cutting-edge toilets are designed for low upkeep: replace or recharge the filter in the deodorizing fan every 6–12 months, wipe the nozzle with mild soap, and change batteries (if applicable) once a year. Reliance offers affordable annual inspections that include descaling the bidet wand, checking seals, updating firmware (for Wi-Fi models), and verifying that water-saving settings remain calibrated. If a component fails under warranty, we’ll coordinate directly with the manufacturer and handle the repair or replacement at your home.
