• Improve appearance: A new faucet can be a visual focal point that changes how your kitchen sink or bathroom tub looks. Modern faucets have many styles and colors available, so you can find one that meets your preferences.
• Increase home value: Getting a new faucet is a simple change that adds significant value to your home. Faucets are a big selling point with homebuyers, so a modern fixture can be appealing and give the room a new look.
• Add functionality: Many new faucets have features like swivels, pullouts, and touch controls that you’ll find handy when cooking in the kitchen.
• Save money on utilities: newer faucets are more efficient, meaning they’ll use less water. You can reduce your water bill and carbon footprint.

• Clean your fixtures. When your faucet comes into contact with air and the minerals in hard water, it can develop rust — which leads to leaking over time, which is one of the signs you need a new faucet! Clean your faucets daily with a damp cloth and dry with a soft, dry cloth to eliminate excessive mineral buildup before it grows into a large blockage. If your home has soft water, your faucets will still benefit from regular cleaning.
• Clean the aerator. The aerator mixes water with air for a smooth flow. The spray can become ineffective if lime and sediment buildup is blocking the water flow, though. Cleaning your aerator once a year will remove these particles, so the sprayer works better. Dissemble your aerator and clean it with a brush. Allow the parts to soak to remove mineral buildup from hard water.
• Get regular inspections. A professional plumbing inspection can help you make sure your faucet is working properly. We recommend having an inspection at least once a year for the best results.

1. Remove the old faucet.
2. Unpack and inspect your new faucet.
3. Install the faucet and connect it to the plumbing.
4. Test the fixture to make sure it works.
