Great Ways to Upgrade Kitchen Plumbing
Most homeowners don’t have time or the money for a complete kitchen remodel yet need to upgrade this space to restore the joy they used to feel. According to our information, to fall back in love with your kitchen, upgrade these kitchen plumbing features:
Replace your old kitchen faucet
A simple faucet upgrade is a great way to spruce up the functionality and design of your kitchen. If you have an old kitchen faucet that no longer adds value to your home, swap it out for a water-conserving one or a multi-purpose faucet. With advances in technology, you can install a smart touch faucet that goes on and off with the brush of a hand or fingertip. With this feature, you can wash your hands, dishes, or food much easier than before. Additionally, by installing a low-flow faucet or aerator on your tap, you can conserve water. Savings rack up with these small upgrades, especially in homes with more than three people.
Add water filtration to your home
Hard water and other contaminants can cause your water to taste funny but may make you and your family sick. Fortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) governs safe drinking and bathing water, but that doesn’t mean you have to drink it if it tastes terrible. Water filtration systems work in many ways. For example, a homeowner can purchase a simple carafe that filters tap water to keep in the fridge or add a whole-home filtration system to their home plumbing. Depending on your needs and budget, there is a water filter option for you.
Get a new garbage disposal
Many people have love-hate relationships with their garbage disposal. It’s easy to appreciate the disposal when it lessens your waste, and you don’t need to worry about throwing out those old food scraps. At the same time, the garbage disposal may stop working without any warning. Upgrading your garbage disposal to one that can take a beating will save you time and money long term. For example, this noise-insulation InSinkerator garbage disposal reduces noise and can grind through bones, corn husks, and more.
Opt for a high-efficiency dishwasher
Older appliances are usually louder and less eco-friendly than their newer counterparts. If it’s been ages since you last replaced your dishwasher, consider purchasing a high-efficiency option. Unless you’re looking to build up additional antibodies, hand-washing dishes just doesn’t get the job done quite like the high heat a dishwasher puts dirty cutlery and tableware through.
Many dishwashers are quieter and have cool technology to make your life easier. However, since dishwashers can be pricey, consider buying the previous model rather than the newest model on the market. It will wash your dishes as well as the more expensive model and save you money.
Without going for a complete design-makeover or gutting your kitchen, there are plenty of small fixes that you can do to your kitchen to get it back to being your favorite room in the house.
