Garbage Disposal Replacement FAQs

Dealing with a grinding noise, persistent jams, or a leaking disposal doesn’t have to put your kitchen out of commission. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients in Summit and Portage Counties ask about our professional garbage disposal replacement, installation, and repair services.

Can I replace my old disposal with a unit that has more horsepower?

Yes, you absolutely can, and it’s often a great idea for improved performance and fewer jams. When we replace your disposal, we ensure the new unit’s electrical draw is compatible with your existing wiring and breaker. We focus on secure, heavy-duty mounting and proper plumbing alignment to handle the power of the new unit, guaranteeing a safe, leak-free upgrade.

Should I repair my old disposal, or is it better to replace it?

Generally, if a disposal is more than 10 years old, frequently jams, or has signs of rust or leaking from the bottom, replacement is the most cost-effective solution. The labor cost to diagnose and repair a faulty motor or corroded shell often outweighs the cost of a brand-new, more efficient unit. We can inspect your old unit and provide an honest recommendation.

Do you handle the electrical wiring and plumbing required for the new installation?

Yes, our service is comprehensive. We safely disconnect the unit from the power source and the drainpipe. We then secure the new mounting ring, connect the plumbing (including the dishwasher drain line), and ensure the unit is safely wired to your switch. We test for proper drainage and ensure zero leaks before completing the job.
