FAQs
Why should I replace my older toilet with a modern energy-efficient model?
Today’s WaterSense-labeled and dual-flush toilets use as little as 1.1–1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) compared with the 3.5–7 GPF common in pre-1994 fixtures. That can cut household toilet water use by up to 60 %, reducing your water bill, lowering strain on Soddy-Daisy’s municipal system, and shrinking your environmental footprint without sacrificing flush power.
How much water—and money—can an energy-efficient toilet save in Soddy-Daisy?
An average family of four flushes about 16–20 times per day. Swapping a 3.5 GPF toilet for a 1.28 GPF model saves roughly 40 gallons daily, or 14,600 gallons annually. At Tennessee’s average water/sewer rates, that translates to $120–$150 in yearly savings, meaning most customers recoup the cost of the new toilet within 2–4 years.
Are rebates or incentives available in Tennessee for installing high-efficiency toilets?
Yes. EPB Water and several regional utilities periodically offer $40–$100 rebates per WaterSense toilet. TVA’s EnergyRight marketplace also lists manufacturer promotions. We keep track of current programs for Soddy-Daisy residents, provide the paperwork, and can deduct approved rebates directly from your invoice to simplify the process.
What is involved in the replacement process, and how long does it take?
Most single-toilet swaps take 90 minutes to two hours. We shut off the water, drain and remove the old fixture, inspect the flange and supply line, install a new wax (or waxless) ring, set and level the new toilet, reconnect water, and perform a multi-point leak and flush test. If the flange is damaged or the shut-off valve needs upgrading, we can usually complete those repairs on the same visit.
Will an energy-efficient toilet fit my existing plumbing layout?
Nearly all high-efficiency models come in the standard 12-inch rough-in that’s common in Soddy-Daisy homes. If your bathroom has a 10- or 14-inch rough-in, compact or adjustable-rough toilets are available. We measure during the free estimate, verify clearance for elongated or comfort-height bowls, and recommend models that match your space and aesthetic without requiring major plumbing modifications.
Do you haul away the old fixture and provide a warranty on new installations?
Absolutely. We remove and recycle or legally dispose of your old toilet at no extra charge. All fixtures we install carry the manufacturer’s 1-to-10-year parts warranty, and our workmanship is guaranteed for a full year. Should any issue arise—leaks, rocking, or fill-valve problems—just call us and we’ll correct it promptly at no cost.
