FAQs
What advantages does a touchless faucet offer for Georgetown homeowners?
Touchless faucets use an infrared or capacitive sensor to start and stop water automatically, which means fewer contact points for germs, less water waste, and easier operation for children, seniors, or anyone with limited mobility. Local Georgetown customers also enjoy the added benefit of modernizing their kitchen or bath, boosting home value, and meeting current green‐building guidelines that promote water-conserving fixtures.
How is a touchless faucet installed compared with a traditional faucet?
Our licensed plumbers first shut off the water, remove your existing faucet, and clean the sink deck. The new touchless fixture is then mounted through the same one- to three-hole configuration (an optional deck plate covers extra holes). We connect hot and cold supply lines, attach a battery pack or low-voltage AC adapter, and calibrate the sensor. A complete replacement typically takes 60–90 minutes, and we test for leaks, sensor accuracy, and proper water temperature before we leave your Georgetown home.
Can a touchless faucet really lower my water and utility bills?
Yes. Because water flows only when hands are present, studies show touchless fixtures can cut usage by 50–70 %. Most residential models are preset to 0.5–1.5 gpm, well below the 2.2 gpm Texas maximum. Over a year, a family of four in Georgetown can save hundreds of gallons—translating to noticeably smaller water bills and a quick payback on the installation cost.
Will a touchless faucet fit my existing sink and plumbing?
In nearly all cases, yes. Modern touchless faucets are designed for the same ⅜-inch supply lines and standard mounting holes used by conventional faucets. If your sink has additional holes, we install a matching escutcheon plate. Battery-powered models don’t need an electrical outlet; if you prefer a plug-in unit, we can add a GFCI outlet under the sink to satisfy code requirements.
What maintenance does a touchless faucet require, and how long do the batteries last?
Maintenance is minimal: wipe the sensor window with a soft cloth, periodically clean the aerator, and replace the inline filter (if equipped) every six months. Alkaline batteries usually power the faucet for 12–24 months, depending on use. A blinking LED or slow water response signals it’s time to replace them. Solenoid valves are rated for hundreds of thousands of cycles but are easily swapped out if they ever fail.
Are touchless faucets code-compliant and ADA-friendly in Georgetown?
All brands we install are certified to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and meet or exceed the City of Georgetown’s plumbing code adaptations based on the IPC. Because the user doesn’t need to grip or turn a handle, sensor-operated faucets satisfy ADA accessibility guidelines when installed at the correct reach range and height. We provide documentation and schedule the required city inspection when permits are needed.
