FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to water-efficient faucets in my Robbins home?
Upgrading to WaterSense-certified or other high-efficiency faucets cuts indoor water use at the sink by up to 30 %, which lowers your monthly utility bill and reduces the energy needed to heat that water. Modern eco-friendly models also include ceramic disc valves and durable finishes, so you gain longer fixture life, fewer leaks, and improved aesthetics along with environmental benefits.
How much water can I realistically save by replacing a standard faucet?
Traditional faucets flow at 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) or more. Water-efficient models we install in Robbins deliver 1.2–1.5 gpm without sacrificing performance. For a household that runs the bathroom and kitchen faucets a combined 30 minutes per day, that’s a yearly savings of roughly 6,500–7,500 gallons—enough to fill a backyard swimming pool and trim $50–$90 from your annual water and energy costs.
Will a low-flow faucet feel weak or reduce my water pressure?
No. Water-efficient faucets rely on aerators and optimized internal channels that mix air with water, so you get the same rinsing power while using less volume. The fixture is engineered to maintain normal line pressure (around 60 psi); most homeowners can’t tell the difference except on their water bill.
Can you install a water-saving faucet on my existing sink or will I need new plumbing fixtures?
In most cases we can retrofit your current sink, countertop, and supply lines. We carry single-hole, widespread, and centerset eco-faucets that match common mounting patterns. During our free on-site assessment we’ll inspect clearances and shut-off valves to confirm compatibility. Only severely corroded or outdated supply lines might need replacement, and we can handle that during the same visit.
How long does the faucet replacement process take and do I need to be home?
A straightforward faucet swap in Robbins typically takes 60–90 minutes. If we’re also replacing shut-off valves or supply hoses, allow up to two hours. We ask that an adult be present to approve fixture placement, finish selection, and final testing, but you won’t need to stay in the room the entire time.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing water-efficient plumbing fixtures in Robbins or Cook County?
Yes. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and some local utilities periodically offer $50–$100 rebates for WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets. We stay current on all regional programs and will supply the paperwork and proof of purchase so you can claim any available incentives. Additionally, upgrading to high-efficiency fixtures can earn points toward green home certifications if you plan future renovations.
