FAQs
How do touchless faucets work and what sensor technologies are used?
Touchless faucets use infrared or capacitive sensors to detect the presence of hands under the spout. When the sensor registers motion or a change in electrical field, it sends a signal to a solenoid valve that opens to let water flow. The valve automatically closes once the hands move away, stopping the water. Most models run on replaceable batteries or a low-voltage AC adapter, and some premium faucets combine both power sources for backup.
Are touchless faucets compatible with existing sinks and plumbing lines in older Coalmont homes?
Yes. Nearly all modern touchless faucets are designed to fit standard 1-hole or 3-hole sink configurations. During a plumbing-fixture replacement, our technicians remove the old faucet, install the new touchless unit, and connect it to the existing hot and cold water lines. In older Coalmont homes, we may add deck plates, escutcheons, or supply-line adapters to ensure a secure fit without altering the countertop or sink.
What are the benefits of replacing my current faucet with a touchless model?
• Hygiene: No handles mean fewer germs transferred between hands and faucet surfaces. • Water savings: Sensors shut off automatically, reducing accidental water waste by up to 70 %. • Convenience: Hands-free operation makes it easier to rinse dishes or wash hands when dirty or full. • Modern aesthetics: Sleek designs instantly update the look of your kitchen or bathroom. • ADA compliance: Touchless activation helps users with limited mobility operate the faucet independently.
Will a touchless faucet increase my water and energy bills?
Most homeowners see lower water bills because the faucet only runs when needed. Energy use is minimal: battery-powered models typically use four AA batteries that last 1–2 years, while AC-powered models draw less than 0.5 W in standby. If you choose a battery/AC hybrid, the faucet automatically switches to batteries during a power outage, protecting you from unexpected shutdowns.
What kind of maintenance and battery replacement do touchless faucets require?
Routine care is similar to standard faucets—wipe the spout and sensor window with a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent mineral buildup. For battery models, an LED indicator flashes when power is low, giving you weeks of notice before replacement is needed. Changing batteries takes about two minutes and doesn’t require shutting off your water supply. Solenoid valves generally last 5–10 years; if a valve fails, it can be replaced without removing the entire faucet.
How long does professional installation take and what is the typical cost in Coalmont?
A standard touchless faucet replacement usually takes 60–90 minutes. If extra drilling, supply-line upgrades, or disposal of the old fixture are required, add 30–45 minutes. In Coalmont, homeowners typically spend $275–$375 for professional installation, including labor, minor parts, and haul-away of the old faucet.
