"Best work on air conditioner start up I have had in the 4 ears I have been in New Mexico. Garbage disposal replacement work was perfect. Called to let me know they would be a few minutes late. Removed defect disposal and installed new disposal. Left information on new unit. Told me to call if I had any questions. New unit is much quieter. Estimate and cost were the same! I will use Ortega for all my plumbing and heating and cooling needs!"

"Kevin and his associate were very professional in every way. The sink drain pipe was fixed quickly, and the cabinet rebuilt on a separate trip. Extra flexible piping was used in the drain pip repair to prevent the cracking from re-occurring. I appreciate his competence and willingness to discuss all the aspects of the job. I would definitely call KSM again.

"Alvin did a great job. I have an older home so we ran into a couple of problems with a leak between the time that he left and the time he was scheduled to come back. He came out as quickly as he could and fix the problem and then again to install the dishwasher and garbage disposal. He not only showed up on time but early to accommodate my schedule. It ran into a little more money than I had hoped but less than other estimates from reputable plumbers.

"Service was excellent. Carlos (with an assistant) did the work and was able to pinpoint the leak within less than 2 hours. This company is professional, prompt, thorough, and highly skilled. The price might seem a little steep but worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them."

"I scheduled the appointment from 11a-1pm. Around 11:15 I called Budget a very nice lady explained that he had an appointment all the way across town but that he was on his way and should arrive shortly. Damion arrived at 11:30, very nice & polite, I showed him all the leaks and stuff that needed to be fixed, leaving the garbage disposal. I honestly didn't think he'd have time to get to it all. He moved so fast, he would have had it all done in an hour if he didn't have to run to Home Depot to get a special part for my toilet (he said he usually had one but the appointment before me had the same problem w/their toilet & he used the last one on them). I was very pleased and impressed with the service.

"They complete the work in the cleanest possible way. They have been very honest and I have had no additional problem with everything they have repaired from my sprinklers, to installing a brand new sink, or replacing the hot water heater."

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
