"The installation was fast and everyone I spoke with was very thorough and always willing to explain anything I had questions about. They were tidy and on time. My water feels fantastic now and I love having separate fountain with alkaline water. I'm glad to be able to give up plastic bottle thanks Orbit. It is pricey, but it's a great investment for the future. Thanks, guys!"

"Air Temp Solutions replaced my Heating and A/C system last winter. Their service was top-notch from start to finish. They gave me a great price and also honored the 10 % discount for Angie's list members. The technicians who came for the installation were true professionals and competed the whole job in less than 6 hours. Once the installation was completed they also did all the paper work and follow-up to make sure I get the energize Delaware rebate. The rebate arrived in mail last week for $1350.00. Over all Air temp is a great company with great people and great service."

"Everything went according to plan until they tried to reinstall the shower faucet. The plumber said the "screws broke" and they may not be able to reinstall it. After a few phone calls they managed to install it but with a different handle. That was disappointing. They made a follow-up call. I told them what happened. They said they would get back to me. I have not heard back since. All-in-all good service."

"Had not had my gutters cleaned/serviced in many years.  Emailed V and C and received a prompt return call.  Vince was professional and was out within 3 days.  They were quick and efficient.  I watched as they did a thorough job and also were careful to cleanup properly afterwards.
An overall good experience."

"I had water in basement coming down a wall.  Called them and they returned called within a very short time.  Came early next day to give look at wall and gave me a firm estimate of time and cost.  Worked was started and completed on day after estimate.  All trash was hauled away and basement was left clean.  I was given a short instruction on how to work with french drain and told to call them immediately if there was any trouble.



|I have yet to do more than make sure everything is working as it should.  Would highly recommend them to others."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
