FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a touchless faucet in my Tullahoma home or business?
Touchless faucets use motion-sensing technology to start and stop water flow automatically. This reduces the spread of germs, lowers water usage by shutting off immediately when not in use, and offers hands-free convenience when your hands are full or dirty. Because they dispense only the water that is needed, many customers in Tullahoma see a noticeable reduction in their monthly utility bills.
Can a touchless faucet be installed on my existing sink, or will I need a full fixture replacement?
In most cases a touchless faucet can be retrofitted to your current sink openings. Our plumbers simply remove the old faucet, mount the new sensor-activated model, and connect it to the hot and cold supply lines. If your sink’s mounting holes or clearances are incompatible, we can recommend a replacement sink or deck plate that meets both your aesthetic preferences and local plumbing standards.
How are touchless faucets powered and how long do the batteries last?
Most residential touchless faucets run on AA or AAA batteries housed in a small control box under the sink. Typical battery life ranges from 1 to 3 years, depending on usage frequency and model efficiency. Commercial-grade units can be hard-wired to an AC adapter if continuous operation is needed. During installation we review power options with you and show you how to replace batteries when the low-power indicator light appears.
How long does a professional touchless faucet installation usually take in the Tullahoma area?
A straightforward swap of an existing faucet generally takes 1–2 hours, including removal of the old fixture, mounting the new faucet, connecting supply lines, and testing sensor operation. If additional plumbing fixture replacements—such as new shut-off valves or supply hoses—are required, the job may extend to half a day. We always provide a time estimate after an on-site evaluation.
Will installing a touchless faucet really save water and money?
Yes. Because the sensor shuts off water automatically, studies show touchless faucets can cut water consumption by 30–50 % compared with standard manual faucets. With Tullahoma’s current water rates, homeowners often recover installation costs within 1–2 years via lower water and energy bills (less hot water wasted). Businesses with heavy restroom traffic typically see an even faster return on investment.
What maintenance is required and what if the sensor stops working?
Routine maintenance is minimal—wipe the faucet body with a non-abrasive cleaner and replace batteries when the indicator light blinks. The sensor window should remain clear of soap buildup or mineral deposits; a soft cloth and mild vinegar solution keeps it clean. If the sensor fails to activate, check the batteries first, then inspect for debris in the sensor eye or control box. All touchless faucets we install include a manufacturer’s warranty, and our Tullahoma plumbing team offers same-day service for any warranty or repair needs.
