Ask Your Plumber How They Can Upgrade Your Kitchen With New Technology | Conway, SC
If you spend a lot of time cooking in your Conway, SC, kitchen, you might be thinking of renovating or remodeling it in the near future. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Myrtle Beach can help. A professional plumber can help you upgrade your plumbing system to suit your renovation plans. We can also install additional plumbing features to enhance your new kitchen. Updating your kitchen along with its plumbing can actually add value to your home. When your new plumbing features are installed, you’ll wonder how you ever did without them. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.
Dishwasher
If you intend to replace or move your dishwasher, a plumber can help. If you don’t currently have a dishwasher in your kitchen or you’d like to add a second one in another part of your home, like your walk-in pantry or bar area, you might love the convenience that this appliance can offer. Relocating dishwashers is a common kitchen remodeling job that any plumber on our team can assist you with. There are many dishwasher models on the market today. You might want to choose an energy-efficient model to conserve energy and save on your water bills.
Repiping Old Water Lines
If you’re updating your kitchen, it’s a good time to repipe old water lines. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Myrtle Beach can inspect your pipes to help you determine if they should be repiped. If the tubes are stained or discolored and if the pipes have been leaky, you should certainly consider including repiping in your renovation plans. A plumber can also consult with you about the best replacement options for your current pipes. Although replumbing is a considerable job, remember that it will enhance your kitchen and support the value of your home.
Kitchen Island Sink
Installing kitchen island sinks has become a big kitchen design trend. Having the sink accessible in the middle of your kitchen can be a considerable convenience. Many homeowners prefer to have two sinks in their kitchens–a traditional sink located along a wall and a kitchen island sink. One sink can be used for food preparation and the other for cleaning up. A plumber can extend your plumbing system to a kitchen island and if you’re already in the midst of a kitchen renovation, it’s the perfect time to achieve this type of kitchen upgrade.
Pot Filler
A pot filler is also an additional sink, but it’s designed for conveniently filling large pots for use on stovetops. Ideally, these features should be installed above the range so that the cook doesn’t have to transport water-filled pots across the kitchen. What’s nice about these features is that they allow cooks to keep large pots out of their main sink where they can be cumbersome. If you’re installing a chef-worthy kitchen, a pot filler is certainly an upgrade you’ll want to keep in mind.
Garbage Disposal
As you plan your kitchen renovation, consider installing a garbage disposal if you don’t currently have one. With a garbage disposal, you’ll have less trash to contend with and fewer kitchen odors. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Myrtle Beach can install your garbage disposal in your current sink or even in a new kitchen island sink. When properly installed, these kitchen features can last for about a decade. They’re easy to operate and make disposing of kitchen scraps a breeze.
New Faucets
It might seem like a simple enough change, but adding new faucets is actually a major consideration given the number of faucet types and designs on the market today. From touch-activated faucets to traditional faucets, you’ll need to decide what faucet style will function best for your kitchen and suit your new kitchen decor. Once you choose your faucet, a licensed plumber from our team can visit your Conway, SC, home and remove your old faucet and install your new one.
Water Filters
Many local residents have contacted a plumber about installing a water filter under their sink. Not only can a water filter improve the taste of water; it can also screen out unwanted chemicals, leaving your household with purer water. If you rely on bottled water or water purification systems that rely on refrigerator space, you can dispense with these items and rely solely on your tap water. A water filter will give you peace of mind, knowing that your tap water is safe for drinking.
Refrigerator with Water Dispenser
If you don’t currently have a refrigerator with a water dispenser, you might want to include one in your kitchen upgrade. A plumber can run a line to your new refrigerator and make any necessary hookups for you. If you currently have this type of appliance but wish to move it to a different location in your kitchen, a plumbing professional can help you make the transition so that your fridge makes ice and dispenses water just as well as before.
A kitchen renovation is a big project that typically involves some aspect of the plumbing system. It’s always best to contract with a licensed and insured plumbing company like ours for any plumbing system changes. A contractor who ‘dabbles’ in plumbing may not have the training and skills needed to provide the services you need for your kitchen upgrade.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Myrtle Beach specializes in plumbing maintenance and repairs, but we also provide plumbing services related to kitchen upgrades and new plumbing installations or replacements like those mentioned here. We can visit your Conway, SC, home to discuss your plumbing system upgrades as you make plans for your kitchen renovation. Be sure to contact us the next time you need a plumber.
