"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!

"John and his son Gavin were nothing short of fabulous. They were professional, conscientious and very efficient about ensuring everything was perfect while installing my new garbage disposer. Unlike most change-outs, my old disposer was bolted in and rusted out - (I should have taken pictures, it was awful) - which required heavy-duty cutting and a lot of extra labor. Yet in the end - there was no extra charge! These guys are a team and went above and beyond what was expected. Unreal and unbelievable. Thank you John and Gavin for being a GREAT TEAM! Very happy!"

"We needed a misting system to help cool our patio, since we had our son's 3rd birthday party happening a week later. We had John give us an estimate for approximate 120' run of misting system pipe. He told us how he would install the system to make sure it blending into the house and patio cover. He also told us the best way to hook the water to the misting system and had a great recommendation on a plumbing to do the work. Once we decided on the price, he told us he could complete the system in a single day. On the day we selected, he showed up 15 minutes before the scheduled time. He also managed the plumber who hooked it into our existing water line. When I returned home after 8 hours, the whole system was installed and hooked up to the water line. The work was extremely professional. It blended so well into the house I almost didn't notice that we had a misting system. As for the water line connection, he told me how the plumber was going to just install it with the shortest run, but it would be extremely difficult to turn the system on/off, plus cleaning out the filter would be an extreme chore. John told the guy how to place everything so we had an easy time turning it on/off and changing the filter. He came back 2 days later to pressure test the whole system and make sure everything was working correctly. We used it during our son's party and it was AMAZING. The temperature was 100 that day but under our patio it felt about 80 degrees. Everyone was comfortable. A couple days after the party, John called to see how the system worked.
John is very detailed oriented and there to make sure the customer is happy. It was a pleasure working with him and I will work with him for any future repairs.

"The provider arrived on time. He replaced the garbage disposer, including providing a new disposer, as agreed. He ran into some problems that probably caused the job to go longer than expected, but he still completed it at the agreed price without complaint.

"Before we moved in our newly purchased home, we needed to remove old, smelly popcorn ceiling in entire house, install new light box and fan box, also remove wall which divided living area. I got estimates from 3 contractors. Even it includes ceiling paint and re-texture kitchen ceiling, their estimate was the best. We got no-furniture discount too.
As they said in their website, they did remove popcorn ceiling in one. day. They finished whole project in only 2days!! (Well, my fan wasn't delivered yet when they finished their job, their electrician needed to come the other day to install new light and ceiling fan) Actually tiny amount of popcorn in one closet remained though, it's acceptable. 
Their job was very clean, they even fixed bad joint in the ceiling which we didn't know. The owner Danny Boyd is very kind and easy to reach. Their great job with lifetime warranty, I highly recommend them.

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
