Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?
If your disposal is less than 8 years old and the problem is minor (like a jam or reset issue), repair is usually cost-effective. Older units with motor problems or significant leaks are often better replaced.
What size garbage disposal do I need?
For most homes, a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower disposal is adequate. Larger families or heavy users might benefit from 1 horsepower. We'll recommend the right size based on your household needs.
Can you install a disposal if I don't have one currently?
Yes! We can install a garbage disposal even if you don't currently have one. This may require some electrical work for the switch and outlet, which we can handle as part of the installation.
How long does garbage disposal installation take?
Most installations take 1-2 hours. If electrical work is needed for a new installation, it may take slightly longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate before starting.
What shouldn't I put in my garbage disposal?
Avoid grease, bones, fibrous vegetables (like celery), coffee grounds in large quantities, and non-food items. We'll provide you with a complete list of do's and don'ts after installation.
