If you're going to be remodeling your home, don't forget to upgrade your plumbing. Upgrading the plumbing in your home can give you a whole new feel. You don't need to redo your entire home to upgrade your plumbing. All you need to do is add some new features and fixtures. Here are four plumbing fixtures you should add to your home.

Easy-to-Use Faucets

You might not think about it, but your faucets get a lot of use. That's why you need to make sure that you've got the best fixtures to work with. There's nothing worse than trying to turn the faucet on when your hands are full, or when they're a greasy mess. With new easy-to-use faucets, you won't need to worry about that anymore. To make faucet use as easy as possible, choose either a hands-free model, or a touch-sensor model. With the hands-free faucet, you can turn the water on and off with your foot, using the level installed under your cabinet. A touch-sensor faucet allows you to turn the water on and off with just a single touch.

Large-Capacity Sinks

While you're replacing the faucet in your kitchen, you should also replace your kitchen sink, especially if you've got one of those shallow models. Shallow sinks are great for washing things like a few plates or cups, but when you're washing the big stuff, you need a bigger sink. That's where the large-capacity drop-in sinks come in handy. These sinks drop right into your kitchen counter and provide a larger basin. That makes them the perfect addition to your kitchen if you do a lot of cooking and need to wash those large pots and pans.

Elevated Toilets

If you're dealing with mobility issues, trying to maneuver on and off a standard toilet can be downright painful, especially for your knees and hips. Instead of struggling to use the toilet, or installing a grab bar on your wall, it's time to install a new toilet. Elevated toilets provide a taller base, which means your toilet seat will sit higher from the ground. Once you have your new elevated toilet, you'll be able to use the toilet without causing pain to your knees or hips.

Tankless Water Heater

Waiting for the water to heat up can be time-consuming. Not only that, but it's a waste of water. While you're waiting for the water from the faucet to heat up, the cold water is flowing down the drain – and so is your money. If you want hot water as soon as you turn the faucet on, add a tankless water heater to your list of additions. With a new tankless, you'll never waste valuable time, water, or money, waiting for hot water again.
