20 employees. Charges an hourly rate. No travel charges. Additional contact name - Kevin Aker.

"We had 2 garage doors installed in Jan 2024. Our garage was unique but Aker got it done. Twice we’ve called about needed adjustments and they came out within 1-2 days to make it right. Their prices are competitive, their workers knowledgeable and friendly, and impeccable customer service. I RARELY give a company a 5 star rating but they totally deserve it. Many kudos to worker Rick. Great guy!"

"They do not pick up pianos unless it is under a certain weight, they won't take it down more than two steps, and it isn't wet outside. This should be advertised on their website! I chose them because I needed the piano moved along with a huge pile of other stuff. I still had them remove the other stuff, but if I had known, I would have hired somebody else instead. I felt that their TV ads are misleading that they will take anything and their written list of items they will take is also misleading as it states they will take pianos. Besides that, the guys were good that moved the junk and they moved quickly and were on time."

Because A.C. Carlson is family owned and community based, they gladly serve you and the greater community. You can have peace of mind and trust when you visit or telephone A.C. Carlson, knowing you will receive prompt and professional assistance, delivery, installation and service.

"Very well. From our 1st visit with Matt it was clear that his goal was to find us a refrigerator that would be a dependable resource for our needs. Kind of cool that he let us vent about our experience with our current fridge, then affirmed our choice of the Cafe model. Nice to deal with a person who listens first, then offers suggestions. The follow through was even better, as Dave, who may even own the store, called to advise about delivery availability and confirmed our time. On delivery day 2 men arrived 1 minute early, took a look at our site, and went to work. Neat, clean, no nonsense, 3/4 hour included delivery, takeaway of our old unit, hook-up water, and demonstration of the features. Impressive operation, great follow through. We’re impressed Pat and Dan"

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Garbage disposals can last between 10 and 12 years, so if your unit is pushing its lifespan, it may be a good idea to replace it. If your unit isn’t approaching the 10-year mark, try investigating other parts of the disposal to see if there's an affordable repair on the horizon. For example, rubber has a shorter lifespan than 10 years, connections and hoses loosen over time, and sink flanges can cause leaks that have nothing to do with disposals.

If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

Garbage disposals last an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a local garbage disposal pro include:

  • Leaks under your disposal

  • Persistent clogs

  • Lingering odors

  • Lack of power

  • Unexplained noises
