Welcome To Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric
Upgrade your space with new faucets from Wisler! Installing new faucets in your bathroom or kitchen not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also improves functionality. Here are some key considerations for a successful faucet installation:
Quality Matters: Choose a faucet with a solid cartridge. Ceramic cartridges are ideal as they lack washers or rubber components that can deteriorate due to chlorine and other chemicals in municipal water supplies.
Modern Solutions: In older homes, bathrooms often have three-handled tub shower faucets. For a modern look and to prevent scalding when someone flushes the toilet, consider a pressure-balanced single-handle tub shower faucet. These faucets can retrofit into an existing tub shower with three handles/holes by installing an attractive cover plate. Remember, replacement faucets need to be pressure balanced to meet code requirements. Installing a single-handled control valve achieves this.
Manufacturer’s Warranty: Ensure the faucet is backed by a good manufacturer’s warranty. Most faucet manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on the cartridge, which is crucial because a defective cartridge can cause dripping.
Long-Term Investment: When replacing a leaking faucet, prioritize quality. While higher quality faucets may be more expensive initially, they save you from future frustration and potential water damage. Good quality faucets prevent dripping, loose handles, and water damage.
Functionality: Consider the faucet’s use. In the kitchen, high-rise spouts are excellent for filling large pots, and pull-out spray nozzles are great for washing dishes and cleaning the sink. In the bathroom, a single-handle faucet simplifies achieving the perfect water temperature.
Finishes: Choose a finish that suits your style and needs. Brushed nickel and rubbed bronze are popular, but keep in mind that darker finishes show toothpaste and soap residue more easily. Polished brass or chrome can show scuffs and fingerprints faster than brushed finishes.
