"This is the second time that I have used Ortega Quality Mechanical. Jake and his workers are very professional, courteous and clean up well after themselves. They are very responsive to your needs and go that extra mile to help you with any concerns. They back their work and are very efficient with their time. Very reasonably priced. Jake worked on my first project, but then had his two workers come by for this job as he’s been very busy. They were excellent and did a very nice job with the same professionalism. This is a company I trust very much. They will be helping me again soon to install a swamp cooler that can be run until I need the AC on a more humid day. They will link it to my AC in such a way that they can use the same vents and when I want to switch, it’ll be easy. You won’t go wrong with this company. They do an excellent job."

"The worker arrived at the time agreed upon.  He was super pleasant, assuring me that the job would be done properly.  He got to work and had the job done in short order without bothering my routines in any way.  He took the old "junk" away to be disposed of properly.  Great job.  I will call KSM for any future plumbing help I need.

"It went well. The plumber called to let me know he was running a few minutes late. He examined the garbage disposal when he arrived then the pipes under the sink. He pointed out some issues with the pipes under the sink and with the installation of the current disposal. I had been suspicious about this and agreed with his assessment. He rebuilt the pipes under the sin and installed the disposal. Nothing leaks now! The garbage disposal works as expected. I was extremely satisfied with his professionalism and the installation.

"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!"

"I cannot praise this business highly enough! My swamp cooler died on me, so I called PHC on Friday, they had a technician out at my house to look at my system and give me a free estimate by the following Monday. I was able to order the swamp cooler I wanted, and have it installed by the end of the week. It was very affordable, and everyone I talked to throughout this process was pleasant and professional, and they took the time to answer any questions I had. I will be going to PHC Systems for all of my heating and cooling needs in the future."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.
