"Removed old nonworking water filter system from another company and nstalled a reverse osmosis water system. It works great and the installer was very prompt and professional. Work was neatly done and all questions answered. Very satisfied with the company, the system and their workers. The water tastes great."

"I called Don because my disposal and dishwasher stopped working. He did some terrific troubleshooting and got the dishwasher back into service. He found the trouble to be with the breaker switch but also that the disposer had shorted out (I'll call for warrantied service). While here, he cleaned out the disposal (yuck) and the kitchen sink drain, as well. Also, at my request, he figured out how to fix the outlet so that those two 3-prong plugs will now fit without being jammed together. Smart guy! His service was tip-top -- prompt, courteous, efficient, thorough, and very reasonable on the charge."

"I started laundry Saturday morning and then I heard the washer beeping - checking I found the washer was on but making noise as it tried to drain the water out in the spin cycle - I tried to open the door and found it was locked - so I turned it off - back on - still it would not unlock and would not spin - I tried another setting - same thing - turned it off - unplugged it - nothing would work - so my husband tried - nothing worked - went to Angie's list found Allan and gave him a call - he was going to be in the area on Sunday - YES SUNDAY - and said if I could wait til 3:00 he would come by - of course - then I asked what the service fee would be he said $84.00 plus parts if he had to order - I asked again what was the extra cost for Sunday - he told me just the $84.00 as quoted.  We tried the washer again - nothing - so we waited - Allan called us on Sunday at 2:00 and asked if he could come early - of course - out he came, went right to work - hooked up  his computer - didn't see anything wrong with the system - took of the back of the washer drained the water - unlocked the door so I could get the laundry out - then he started to work inside - turns out the drain inside the washer was clogged with sand (?) we don't go to the beach so I have no idea how that got in there.  The sand was so hard he thought it was a mechanical part - nope - sand - put the washer back together started it up - it runs like new!!  Gave me the bill - $84.00 - told us he also works on refrigerators if we need him.   Very nice - professional - friendly guy - we will keep his info and offer it to our friends!"

"They dealt with pulling up flooring, swapping out our cupboards, and took down drywall. He also cleaned everything in our home; he washed our walls and paid to have all clothes/furniture laundered. He also notified us that the water heater, faucet, and garbage disposal were leaky so that we could have those replaced to avoid further mold issues. I decided to go with him over two other providers based upon his extremely detailed and comprehensive estimate.  

He was very good at coordinating with his subcontractors and also with the the installation people from Lowe's."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
