"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!!!"

"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."

"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!"

"Professional and punctual. Very responsive on the initial estimate and accommodating of changes in project schedule. Willing to break initial estimate into two parts (furnace install and water heater install) and delay second part (water heater install) to accommodate installation of flooring. Price was middle of bids received."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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.

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. 

If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
