FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing touch-free faucets in my Spring City home or business?
Touch-free (sensor-activated) faucets improve hygiene by eliminating the need to touch handles with dirty hands, reduce water waste by shutting off automatically, and offer a sleek modern look. For commercial properties, they also help meet ADA accessibility standards and reduce cross-contamination in high-traffic restrooms.
Can a touch-free faucet replace my existing fixture without major plumbing changes?
In most cases, yes. Touch-free faucets are designed to fit standard sink openings (4" centerset or 8" widespread). We shut off the water, remove the old faucet, and install the new one using existing hot- and cold-water supply lines. Rare cases—such as very old supply valves or non-standard hole spacing—may require minor modifications, but we review these during the on-site estimate in Spring City.
How long does a typical touch-free faucet installation take?
For a straightforward residential sink, installation usually takes 60–90 minutes once we’re on site. Commercial bathroom arrays or sinks needing valve upgrades can extend the job to half a day. We schedule appointments in two-hour arrival windows and always clean up the workspace before leaving.
Do touch-free faucets need an electrical connection or batteries?
Most consumer models offer two power options: (1) a low-voltage plug-in adapter that connects to a nearby GFCI outlet, or (2) battery packs (usually 4–6 AA or a lithium pack) housed under the sink. Batteries typically last 1–3 years, depending on usage. During our consultation, we’ll recommend the best power solution for your vanity or commercial countertop layout.
What kind of maintenance is required after installation?
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend wiping the sensor lens weekly with a soft cloth, changing aerator inserts yearly to prevent mineral buildup from Spring City’s moderately hard water, and replacing batteries when the indicator light flashes. Our team offers an annual service plan that includes inspection, aerator cleaning, and sensor calibration.
How much water and money can I expect to save with a touch-free faucet?
Traditional faucets flow at 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) and often run longer than necessary. Touch-free models restrict flow to 0.5–1.5 gpm and shut off instantly when hands leave the sensing zone. A family of four can save 700–1,000 gallons per year—about $15–$25 on water and sewer bills—while a busy Spring City restaurant or school restroom sees even greater savings and a quick return on investment.
