"Two employees showed up on time to discuss the recess lighting layout for our kitchen and living room and promptly began work. They cut drywall and installed (11) 6" recess lights with LED trims on the main floor with four dimmers. 16 old recess lights in the basement were replaced with modern units. Several old light fixtures were removed and one was replaced with a chandelier. Also, they removed a hood range and installed an electrical outlet in the cabinet above the range (this was added to the project after it was initially scheduled, so it was nice they fit it in). Although they don't do drywall work, I was notified of that during the quote process and the workers labeled the pieces of drywall in case they could be re-used. The entire project was finished in less than a day, as promised. We've been using the lights and dimmers for almost a month now and they are fantastic!"

Garbage Disposal Repair 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. 

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. 

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.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

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.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
