FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a touch-less kitchen faucet in my McMinnville home?
Touch-less faucets use motion sensors to start and stop water flow, which prevents cross-contamination, reduces overall water usage by up to 30 %, and makes cleanup easier when your hands are full or messy. They also add a modern look and can raise property value because buyers appreciate energy- and water-saving fixtures.
Can a touch-less faucet be installed on my existing sink, or do I need a full fixture replacement?
Most modern touch-less models fit the same 1-, 3-, or 4-hole configurations found on traditional kitchen sinks. In many cases we can simply remove the old faucet and mount the new sensor unit without changing the sink itself. During our free on-site assessment, we confirm hole spacing, deck thickness, and clearance to ensure a seamless retrofit.
Do touch-less faucets require electricity, and what happens if the power goes out?
Sensor faucets are powered either by replaceable batteries (usually AA, lasting 1–2 years) or a low-voltage AC adapter plugged into a nearby outlet. If you choose the battery model, your faucet will continue to work during an outage. Hard-wired versions often include a battery backup so you still have water if the power fails.
How much does it cost to have a touch-less kitchen faucet supplied and installed in McMinnville?
Pricing depends on the brand, finish, and features such as temperature presets. On average, the faucet itself ranges from $250–$600, and professional installation—including removal of the old unit, supply line upgrades, and leak testing—runs $175–$275. We offer flat-rate quotes up front, so there are no surprises.
What local plumbing codes should I be aware of when replacing a kitchen faucet in Yamhill County?
McMinnville follows the 2021 Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code. That means all supply lines must be lead-free, shut-off valves must be accessible, and an air gap or code-approved backflow prevention device is required if the faucet has a pull-down sprayer. Our licensed plumbers handle permits and ensure every installation passes inspection.
How do I maintain and troubleshoot a touch-less faucet after installation?
Routine care involves wiping the sensor lens with a soft cloth to keep it free of mineral buildup, replacing batteries when the low-power light blinks, and cleaning the aerator twice a year. If the water won’t turn on, check that the sensor path is clear, verify power, and inspect the solenoid filter for debris. Most issues are minor and can be resolved in minutes, but our team offers same-day service if professional attention is needed.
