FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to a touchless kitchen faucet in Heiskell?
Touchless kitchen faucets use motion-activated sensors, so you can turn water on and off without touching the handle. This helps reduce the spread of germs, keeps the fixture cleaner, minimizes water waste by shutting off automatically, and adds modern convenience and resale value to your home. In Heiskell’s hard-water environment, many touchless models also include built-in aerators and filters that help protect the faucet’s internal parts from mineral buildup.
How does the sensor technology work, and is it dependable in a busy household?
Most touchless faucets rely on infrared or capacitive sensors. When your hand or an object enters the sensor’s detection field, a solenoid valve opens to start the water. The valve closes once the object moves away, stopping the flow. Quality brands have precise detection zones to prevent false activations. Our technicians install and calibrate the sensor to fit your sink’s size and usage pattern, ensuring reliable operation even with kids, pets, and frequent kitchen activity.
Can you replace my current faucet with a touchless model without drilling new holes or changing my countertop?
In most cases, yes. Touchless faucets are manufactured to fit the standard 1-hole or 3-hole configurations already found in most kitchen sinks. We first inspect your existing plumbing and deck plate arrangement. If extra holes need to be covered, we can use an included escutcheon plate for a seamless look. No countertop modifications are required for the vast majority of replacements in Heiskell homes.
How long does installation take, and will my water be shut off during the process?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 60–90 minutes. Complexities such as corroded shut-off valves or under-sink space constraints can add time, but most projects are completed within a single visit. We shut off only the hot and cold supply lines feeding the faucet, so water remains available to the rest of your home. After installation, we test for leaks and ensure the sensor and mixing valve operate correctly before restoring full service.
What maintenance and power requirements should I expect after installation?
Touchless faucets need minimal upkeep. Wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth to remove soap or mineral film, and clean the aerator every 3–6 months. Most models use AA batteries that last 1–2 years with normal household use; some allow an optional AC adapter. A low-battery indicator light or beeping sound alerts you well in advance. If your home’s water is particularly hard, an inexpensive under-sink filter can extend the life of both the faucet and other fixtures.
Do you offer warranties and ongoing support for touchless faucets and other plumbing fixture replacements in Heiskell?
Absolutely. We stand behind our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, and the faucets we install carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime coverage on mechanical parts and finishes. Should you experience sensor issues, leaks, or water-pressure changes, we provide priority service to diagnose and resolve the problem. We also keep records of the exact model and installation date to streamline future maintenance or warranty claims.
