FAQs
What is a touchless kitchen faucet and how does it work?
A touchless (or hands-free) kitchen faucet uses an infrared or motion sensor mounted near the spout to detect hand movement. When the sensor sees motion within its field, it opens an electronic solenoid valve so water flows; when the motion stops, the valve closes. The sensor module is powered by either AA/AAA batteries or a low-voltage AC adapter that plugs into a nearby outlet. You still have manual controls for temperature and flow, but turning the water on and off is completely hands-free, which helps prevent cross-contamination while cooking.
Why should I upgrade to a touchless faucet instead of keeping my standard one in Mulberry?
Homeowners in Mulberry choose touchless faucets for three main reasons: hygiene, water savings, and convenience. Because you never have to grip a handle with messy hands, you reduce bacteria transfer on the fixture itself—important when prepping raw meats. Sensors also shut water off automatically, cutting down on accidental run-time by 30–50 %, which is valuable in Polk County where conservation is encouraged. Finally, a quick wave turns the faucet on even when your hands are full, making everyday kitchen tasks quicker and safer.
Can a touchless faucet be installed on my existing sink and plumbing?
In most cases, yes. Most touchless models fit the standard 1-hole or 3-hole configurations already drilled in residential sinks. If your sink has three holes and you buy a single-hole faucet, the manufacturer usually supplies an escutcheon plate to cover the extras. The only additional requirement is space under the sink for the small control box (about the size of a quart of milk) and, if you choose an AC-powered unit, a GFCI electrical outlet. A licensed Mulberry plumber can verify compatibility during a quick inspection.
What does professional replacement involve when you call our Mulberry plumbing team?
A typical service call lasts 60–90 minutes. We first shut off the hot and cold supply valves, disconnect the old faucet, and clean the deck surface. Next we mount the new touchless faucet and control box, connect the supply lines, and install the battery pack or plug-in adapter. Before we leave, we program the sensor range, check for leaks, and haul away the old fixture for recycling. All workmanship and manufacturer warranties are documented for your records. Same-day appointments are available across Mulberry, Bradley Junction, and the surrounding ZIPs.
How do I maintain and troubleshoot a touchless faucet after it is installed?
Routine care is simple: wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth weekly, replace batteries every 1–2 years, and descale the aerator if flow diminishes. If the faucet will not activate, first check battery strength or that the AC adapter is plugged in. Next ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Our customers receive a quick-reference guide and 24/7 phone support, and we can dispatch a technician in Mulberry for warranty service if needed.
How much does a touchless kitchen faucet replacement cost in Mulberry?
Prices vary by brand, finish, and sensor technology, but most homeowners spend: • Faucet hardware: $250–$600 for reputable brands like Moen, Delta, or Kohler. • Professional installation: $150–$300, which includes removal of the old faucet, mounting hardware, supply lines, and setup of the sensor system. • Optional add-ons (in-line filters, power outlet installation, or disposal replacement) can add $50–$200. We provide free, written estimates before work begins and honor flat-rate pricing, so there are no surprises at checkout.
