"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"I had the system installed 2 days after I met with Kevin.  The installer arrived on time, was very friendly and explained the replacement process and went right to work. Once installed, he ensure the area was cleaned (much cleaner than when he arrived). He showed me what he had done and made sure I had no questions unanswered before he left. He did a great job!

"Frankie did a great job. He made over a 1-hour free inspection before coming back to do the work. He found and repaired a water leak without the costly troubleshooting that other plumbers want you to pay for. He installed a new kitchen faucet and replaced the associated plumbing with more reliable connections. He installed a new Moen shut off and leak detector and redid all of the associated plumbing. He pointed out the poor job my Home Warranty plumber did on the water heater installation (poor soldering, water leak, chamber on wrong water line.)"

"My wife has an endless "honey-do" list, and I can't keep up! So Flood Doctor to the rescue... quickly installing hardware with ease, moving the piano without damaging a wood floor, fixing existing tile so that no one could tell which were original and which were replacements, and "sweating the small stuff" to make sure the heavily-damaged guest bed could be used again.
Nathan is an honest person who does a quality job and who cares about his customers!"

"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"I called and left a message. I did not receive a response so after a week I called again and John answered. He recognized my name/request and said he was sick the previous week which was why he didn't return my call. He came to our home and I showed him the work to be done. He said we couldn't replace the sink without ruining the granite countertop so that project was scrapped. For the electrical and ceiling fan work, he said he was busy for the next two weeks and recommended we use Kevin at Shea Electric who he would pass our number on to. (I kind of got the impression he didn't want to do the work.) Kevin made an appointment to come out but after calling once to say he would be late, never showed up or called back (that was 4 days ago). I will enter the Shea Electric review under that company."

"Toilet (3) tune-up. Troubleshoot non-functioning garbage disposal. The plumber wanted in excess of $600 to replace the garbage disposal; then after calling his supervisor lowered it to just a fraction under $600.  I told him that was exorbitant and declined.  I later hired a professional plumber to do the work.  Parts (a high quality disposal) AND labor were $200 total."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
