"This involved a crane to haul a five ton and a three ton combo unit onto our roof, reconfigure the exhaust and intake ducts to match our system and install new electrical lines and new thermostats. The job took two days as promised and it went as smooth as silk. I will hire them again for anything to do with HVAC or plumbing."

"Bill Anderson was fantastic. I clogged our pipes by putting too much down the disposal. After my husband took apart all the visible pipes beneath the sink and figuring out the clog was much deeper than he could get to, I called Route 66 needing my pipes snaked immediately. Bill was able to come the same day and he was early, which is so unheard of nowadays. He snaked the pipes and had me up and running within a few hours. He was extremely helpful and professional and I would go back to him for future services in a heartbeat. The price was extremely reasonable and he didn't try to "up sell" me anything I didn't need. Albuquerque needs more service techs like Bill Anderson! Thank you, Route 66!!"

"Steve and Ray came to our house the next day after we contacted them to see what would be necessary to locate the leak. We told them we had already contacted two other companies to come out and they could not find our leak. Steve told us they would not stop until they located the leak. It was a quoted charge and although they had to come back three different times for several hours they did not increase the charge! Steve told us this was one of the most difficult leaks to locate he had experienced. They did locate the leak and it is now repaired. This is one of the best and most professional companies we have ever worked with. Thank you Steve and Ray!!!"

"I had a great experience with Budget Climate Control. The disposal was installed quickly and works great. The gentleman who installed it was very friendly and professional. He completely cleaned up the work area when he was finished and showed me all the features of my new disposal. Thank you for great service!"

"Mike and Dillon worked for 8.5 hours straight to get the job done. They did not leave until they had addressed all of my electrical needs. Installing recessed lights in a remodel on the bottom floor of a two-story house is no easy task when there is no attic space. Another great thing about 7 Star was his suggestion that I buy the materials ahead of time so I saved quite a bit not having to pay any markup on materials. We are very happy with the work they did and would highly recommend their services."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
