Replacing or upgrading a toilet may not be the most exciting home project—but it can make a big difference in comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings. At Spectrum Plumbing, we help Albany, Oregon homeowners choose and install toilets that suit their needs, budgets, and bathroom styles.

Here’s a breakdown of the most popular toilet options available today:


What Types of Toilets Should You Consider?

1. Standard Two-Piece Toilets
These are the most common style, with a separate tank and bowl. They’re affordable, easy to maintain, and available in a wide range of designs.

2. One-Piece Toilets
Sleek and modern, one-piece toilets are easier to clean and have fewer crevices where grime can hide. They're great for smaller spaces or anyone looking for a more minimalist look.

3. Wall-Mounted Toilets
Want to maximize floor space? Wall-mounted toilets are a stylish, space-saving option, perfect for modern bathrooms. Installation is more complex but worth it for the right layout.

Should You Upgrade to a Comfort-Height Toilet?

Comfort-height toilets sit a few inches taller than standard models, making them easier to use—especially for older adults or anyone with mobility issues. If accessibility is a priority, this upgrade is worth considering.


How Much Water Can You Save?

Modern toilets offer dual-flush and low-flow options, using as little as 1.28 gallons per flush (compared to older models using 3.5+ gallons). That can mean big savings on your water bill over time—plus it’s better for the environment.

Curious About Smart Toilets?

Yes, they exist! Smart toilets come with features like bidets, heated seats, automatic flushing, deodorizers, and night lights. They cost more upfront but offer luxury, hygiene, and convenience.
