FAQs
How do touchless faucets work and what powers them?
Touchless faucets use an infrared or capacitive sensor to detect the presence of your hands. When the sensor is triggered, an electronic solenoid valve opens to let water flow and automatically closes when you move away. Most residential models are battery-operated (AA or lithium battery packs lasting 1–3 years), while some commercial-grade units can be hard-wired to a low-voltage transformer.
What advantages do touchless faucets offer over traditional handles?
• Hygiene: No need to touch the handle with dirty hands, reducing the spread of germs. • Water savings: The faucet shuts off automatically, preventing unintended runoff and saving up to 50 % in water use. • Convenience: Ideal when your hands are full or messy—just wave to activate. • Durability: Fewer moving mechanical parts mean less wear on cartridges and finishes. • Modern aesthetics: Sleek designs add value and contemporary style to New Market kitchens and baths.
Can a touchless faucet be installed on my existing sink or countertop in New Market homes?
Yes. Most touchless models are designed to fit standard 1-, 3-, or 4-hole sink configurations. During our on-site visit, we verify hole spacing, water-supply lines, and deck thickness. If extra holes remain from an old faucet, we supply matching escutcheon plates or plugs. For granite or quartz tops, no additional drilling is normally required.
What is the expected cost and installation timeframe for a touchless faucet replacement?
In New Market, the average total investment ranges from $325 to $650, which includes the faucet, shut-off valve upgrades if needed, and professional installation. Premium designer or commercial-grade fixtures can cost more. A straightforward replacement generally takes 60–90 minutes; if we have to modify supply lines or add a new power outlet, allow up to 3 hours.
Will switching to a touchless faucet noticeably lower my water and utility bills?
Yes. By turning off instantly when hands move away, a touchless faucet can save 1–2 gallons of water per person per day compared to manual faucets left running while soaping dishes or brushing teeth. For a household of four in New Market, that can translate to roughly 1,400–2,800 gallons annually—often trimming $20–$40 from yearly water bills.
What upkeep do touchless faucets require, and do you offer maintenance plans in New Market?
Routine care is simple: wipe the sensor lens weekly with a soft cloth, change batteries when the low-power LED blinks (usually every 12–36 months), and clean the aerator twice a year to remove mineral buildup common in Maryland water. We offer an optional annual service plan that includes battery replacement, sensor recalibration, and a full leak inspection for a modest flat fee.
