"After trying to get another A rated company to come to my home and not getting any response after multiple attempts to reach them, I reached out to ABQ Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. They answered my call immediately (no messages had to be left), they had someone scheduled to be there within days (I called on a Friday). The toilet issue was repaired same day as the consultation. Matt, the technician who came out, completed the job quickly and the work was great. He discussed caulking options with me and provided his input on why I may or may not want to do it a specific way and let me decide how I wanted it done. He was scheduled to return the following Monday to complete the work to replace the kitchen Faucet and garbage disposal. He gave input on purchase options with him vs. getting it ourselves and pros and cons of both. We opted to buy our own and have him do the work. He provided some general guidance on brands without pushing any specific one, and guaranteed he could install whatever we purchased. He arrived on-time on the scheduled day, and performed the replacements quickly. He had me test everything to ensure it was to my satisfaction, and specifically pointed out what connections and piping he had to replace, as well as showing me how to do basic user maintenance on my new garbage disposal to help save me money in the future. I highly recommend this company, and Matt is great."

"They changed the scheduled time on me twice. They sent inexperienced plumbers who did not unplug my drain and broke my new garbage disposal because they did not install it properly. I have tried to get them to come back to finish clearing my drain and they are giving me a excuses to postpone coming in to finish the job. On a positive note, they did not bill me and said the would not until they fixed the problem. The workers were very kind and well spoken. The mistakes they made were honest mistakes and I think they were willing to correct them."

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

Install Garbage Disposal 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. 

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.

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.

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.

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.
