FAQs
How do touchless kitchen faucets actually work?
Touchless—or hands-free—kitchen faucets use an infrared or capacitive sensor built into the spout or base. When the sensor detects motion (such as a hand, pot, or utensil), it sends an electronic signal to a small solenoid valve that opens and allows water to flow. As soon as the object moves away, the signal stops, the valve closes, and the water shuts off. The sensor and valve are powered by either replaceable AA/AAA batteries (typically lasting 18–24 months) or a small AC adapter that plugs into a nearby outlet.
Will a touchless faucet fit my existing sink and plumbing in Loudon?
In almost every case, yes. Most modern touchless faucets are manufactured to fit standard U.S. sink configurations (single-hole or 3-hole setups at 8" centers). If your sink has extra holes, a matching deck plate covers the unused openings. Our Loudon plumbing team will check cabinet clearance, shut-off valve condition, and supply-line size to ensure a seamless swap. If any minor upgrades—such as new shut-off valves or supply lines—are needed, we can handle them during the same visit.
What are the main advantages of replacing my current faucet with a touchless model?
• Hygiene: No need to touch the handle with messy or germ-laden hands, reducing cross-contamination. • Water savings: The flow stops automatically when you move away, which can cut faucet-related water use by 30–50 %. • Convenience: Activate water while holding a heavy pot or baking pan—no awkward reaching for handles. • Durability: Fewer moving parts being touched means less wear on finish and cartridges. • ADA friendliness: Hands-free operation benefits children, seniors, and anyone with mobility limitations. • Modern look: Touchless faucets give your Loudon kitchen a sleek, up-to-date aesthetic that can boost resale appeal.
How long does installation take, and will my water be shut off for a long time?
A straightforward replacement usually takes about 60–90 minutes. We isolate only the hot and cold supply lines feeding the kitchen faucet, so the rest of your home’s water remains on. The kitchen tap itself is typically out of service for 15–20 minutes while we disconnect the old faucet and connect the new supply lines, sensor leads, and power pack. After installation we test for leaks, calibrate the sensor, and walk you through basic operation.
What maintenance do touchless faucets require?
Maintenance is simple: • Wipe the sensor lens with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to keep it free of water spots or soap residue. • Replace batteries about every 18–24 months (an LED indicator flashes when power is low). • Clean the aerator every few months to remove mineral buildup common in Loudon’s municipal water. • If the sensor seems unresponsive, ensure nothing is within 2" of the lens, check battery orientation, and confirm the control box connections are snug. Persistent issues may indicate a faulty solenoid or sensor that our plumbers can swap out quickly.
How much does a touchless kitchen faucet replacement cost in Loudon, and what affects the price?
Total investment—including a quality mid-range touchless faucet and professional installation—typically falls between $350 and $850. The biggest cost variables are: • Faucet brand, finish, and extra features (voice activation or temperature presets raise the price). • Whether an AC adapter kit or hardwiring is needed versus standard batteries. • Under-sink accessibility—tight or corroded fittings may extend labor time. • Any required ancillary parts, such as new shut-off valves or supply hoses.
