FAQs
What advantages do touchless kitchen faucets offer over traditional faucets?
Touchless models use an infrared or capacitive sensor to start and stop the flow of water, so you never have to grab a handle with messy hands. This reduces the spread of germs, lowers water waste by shutting off automatically, and makes kitchen prep faster. Many units also include temperature presets and higher arc spouts, giving you more clearance for large pots.
Can a touchless faucet be installed in place of my current faucet without changing the sink or countertop?
In most Hixson homes, yes. Almost all touchless faucets are designed to fit the standard 1–3 hole configurations found in today’s sinks. If your existing faucet uses a deck plate to cover extra holes, the replacement touchless faucet can reuse that plate or include a matching one. Only in older, non-standard sinks might a minor modification or adapter be required, which your plumber can confirm during a site visit.
How is a touchless kitchen faucet powered, and how often will I need to replace or recharge the power source?
Most residential models rely on AA or AAA batteries housed in a small control box mounted under the sink. Battery life averages 18–24 months with normal use, and an LED on the spout or control box signals when power is low. Some premium faucets offer an AC adapter that plugs into the nearest outlet, eliminating batteries altogether, or hybrid options that can switch between battery and AC power if the outlet loses power.
Will a touchless faucet work with my pull-down sprayer, filtration system, or instant hot water dispenser?
Yes. Touchless technology governs only the flow initiation, not the water path itself, so the faucet can contain the same pull-down sprayer hose and diverter you’re accustomed to. Filtration systems, disposal air-gaps, or instant-hot dispensers remain connected on the supply side and are unaffected. Just be sure to choose a faucet with the right number of supply lines (filtered line, hot/cold, etc.) and adequate GPM rating if you run multiple peripherals.
What should I expect to pay for professional installation in Hixson, and how long does the job take?
For a straightforward replacement, local plumbing contractors typically quote $175–$275 for labor, plus the cost of the faucet. Jobs that require new shut-off valves, electrical outlets for an AC adapter, or sink modifications can add $50–$150. Most installs take 60–90 minutes. Replacing multiple kitchen fixtures (soap dispenser, air-gap, filtration tap) during the same visit can reduce overall labor costs compared to scheduling separate appointments.
How do I maintain and troubleshoot a touchless kitchen faucet to extend its service life?
Wipe the sensor lens weekly with a soft cloth—no abrasive cleaners—to keep detection reliable. Replace batteries when the low-power indicator blinks or beeps. If the faucet fails to activate, check that the sensor window is clean, the batteries are fresh, and the control box cables are firmly seated. Periodically flush the aerator and pull-down hose to clear mineral deposits common in Hixson’s moderately hard water supply. A yearly professional inspection can also confirm that O-rings, supply lines, and the solenoid valve remain leak-free.
