"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

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

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. 

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
