FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a touchless kitchen tap in my Signal Mountain home?
Touchless kitchen taps provide hands-free operation, reducing the spread of germs, keeping your faucet cleaner, and improving overall kitchen hygiene. They also help conserve water by automatically shutting off when not in use and add a modern, convenient feature that can increase the value and appeal of your kitchen.
Can I replace my existing kitchen faucet with a touchless model without major plumbing changes?
In most cases, yes. Touchless faucets are designed to fit standard sink openings. Our plumbers will remove the old unit, install the new sensor-activated faucet, connect it to your existing hot and cold water lines, and mount the control box and battery pack or AC adapter (depending on the model). Unless your current plumbing is outdated or damaged, no major modifications are necessary.
How long does a typical touchless faucet installation take?
A straightforward replacement usually takes 1–2 hours. This includes shutting off the water supply, removing the old faucet, prepping the sink deck, installing and calibrating the new touchless tap, and verifying there are no leaks. If corrosion, hard-to-reach valves, or sink damage are discovered, the job may take slightly longer, but most installations are completed in a single visit.
What power options do touchless faucets use, and how will I maintain them?
Most touchless kitchen taps operate on AA or AAA batteries that last 1–2 years with normal daily use. Some models offer a plug-in AC adapter so you never have to replace batteries. During installation, we’ll place the battery pack or adapter in the cabinet below the sink for easy access. For battery units, simply swap the batteries when the low-power indicator light flashes or the flow becomes intermittent.
Do touchless faucets work during a power outage?
Battery-powered touchless faucets continue to function normally during a power outage. If you choose a plug-in (AC) model without battery backup, the sensor will not operate without electricity, but many units include a manual override handle so you can still use the faucet. We can advise on models that best suit your needs and backup preferences.
What other plumbing fixtures can you replace while installing my new touchless tap?
While upgrading your kitchen faucet, we can also replace or install garbage disposals, water-saving aerators, under-sink water filters, shut-off valves, and supply lines. If your sink or dishwasher connections need attention, we’ll handle those too. Bundling fixture replacements in one service call saves you time and ensures your entire kitchen plumbing system is up to date and leak-free.
