FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a touchless kitchen faucet in my Soddy-Daisy home?
Touchless faucets use motion-sensor technology, so you can turn water on and off without touching the handle. This reduces the spread of germs, keeps the fixture cleaner, and helps you save water by automatically shutting off when not in use. Many models also offer temperature presets and flow-rate control for added convenience.
Can a new touchless faucet be connected to my existing water lines and sink?
In most cases, yes. Modern touchless faucets are designed to fit standard sink openings (typically 1–3 holes at 8" on center) and 3/8" supply lines. During our site visit, we confirm that your shut-off valves, countertop thickness, and mounting hardware are compatible. If upgrades are needed—such as installing angle stops or enlarging an opening—we handle those adjustments during the same appointment.
How long does a typical touchless kitchen faucet installation or replacement take?
A straightforward swap generally takes 1–2 hours, including removal of the old faucet, mounting the new unit, connecting hot and cold supply lines, and testing sensor operation. If we need to add an electrical outlet under the sink or make minor plumbing modifications, plan for an additional 30–60 minutes.
Do touchless faucets require electricity, and what happens during a power outage?
Most residential models use AA or lithium batteries housed in a waterproof box under the sink; battery life ranges from 1 to 3 years depending on usage. Some premium faucets can plug into a low-voltage AC adapter. If batteries drain or power is lost, the faucet reverts to manual handle control, so you’re never without running water.
How should I maintain and clean my touchless faucet to extend its life?
Wipe down the spout and sensor window with a soft cloth and mild dish soap—harsh chemicals can damage the finish and interfere with the sensor. Check batteries annually, replace aerators every 6–12 months to prevent mineral buildup, and periodically inspect supply lines for leaks. We also recommend a professional tune-up every 2–3 years to recalibrate the sensor and flush the valve.
What is the average cost of replacing a standard faucet with a touchless model in the Soddy-Daisy area?
Costs vary by brand, finish, and features. Quality touchless faucets range from $200–$600 for the fixture, while professional installation typically runs $175–$250. If additional electrical work, shut-off valve replacement, or countertop alterations are needed, costs can rise by $50–$150. We provide a firm, up-front quote after a quick on-site assessment.
