"I wish to thank Andy for the great and prompt work. This is the second time I’ve called him and he came when he said he would. He is dependable, respectful, affordable, and I stand by his work and integrity 100%. I almost had given up on there being anyone out there who I could trust until I met Andy. Thank you for reassuring me there are still good people out there."

"Pat Was absolutely fabulous! I was having problems with my sink draining. He came on time and was extremely polite and courteous. After checking my sink he quickly found the problem and explained to me the issue and how he planned to fix it. Not long after that he had my sink completely fixed! He kept a clean work area and did not dilly dally. When the work was done he presented me the bill and the price and it was very reasonable. Once the bill was paid we had a small and pleasant conversation and he left. I will definitely be using him again and will be referring him to all of my friends and family. Great guy that does great work."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
