What You Get With Us

Your replacement includes professional installation, proper electrical connections, and testing to ensure everything works correctly. We handle all the technical details so you don’t have to worry about leaks or electrical problems. Boston’s waste reduction initiatives make garbage disposals more valuable than ever. Instead of sending food scraps to already-full landfills, your new disposal processes them through the city’s water treatment system, which is more environmentally responsible. We stock disposals that handle Boston’s typical household needs, from 1/2 horsepower units for smaller kitchens to 3/4 horsepower models for busy families. All our installations meet local electrical and plumbing codes.

How much does garbage disposal replacement cost in Boston?

Garbage disposal replacement in Boston typically costs between $350 and $725, depending on the unit you choose and any electrical or plumbing updates needed. Basic 1/2 horsepower disposals cost less, while more powerful 3/4 horsepower units cost more but handle heavier use. The price includes the disposal unit, professional installation, and testing. If your electrical outlet needs updating or your mounting assembly requires replacement, that adds to the cost but ensures safe, code-compliant operation. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Most Boston homeowners find replacement more cost-effective than repeated repairs on old units.

How long does garbage disposal replacement take?

Most garbage disposal replacements take 1-2 hours from start to finish. The exact time depends on your current setup and whether any electrical or plumbing connections need updating. If you’re replacing a disposal with a similar-sized unit and your electrical connections are up to code, the job typically takes about an hour. Older homes sometimes need electrical outlet updates or mounting assembly replacement, which adds time. We work efficiently but never rush important safety checks. Proper installation prevents leaks, electrical problems, and premature failure that would cost you more later.

What size garbage disposal do I need for my Boston home?

Most Boston households need a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower garbage disposal. Smaller kitchens or households with 1-2 people work fine with 1/2 horsepower units, while busy families benefit from 3/4 horsepower models that handle heavier food waste. The key factors are how much cooking you do and how many people live in your home. More powerful disposals grind food faster and handle tougher scraps, but they also cost more and use more electricity. We assess your specific needs during our visit and recommend the right size based on your cooking habits and household size, not what makes us the most money.

Do you warranty garbage disposal replacement work?

Yes, we provide a 90-day labor warranty on all garbage disposal replacement work. This covers our installation, electrical connections, and any adjustments needed to ensure proper operation. The disposal unit itself comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, which typically ranges from 2-10 years depending on the brand and model. We honor these warranties and handle any warranty service needed. If you experience any issues with our installation work within 90 days, we return at no charge to make it right. This gives you confidence that the job is done properly the first time.

Can you replace my garbage disposal the same day?

Most garbage disposal replacements can be completed the same day you call, depending on our schedule and parts availability. We stock common disposal sizes and carry them on our service vehicles. If you need a specific brand or unusual size, we might need to order it, which typically takes 1-2 days. For emergency situations, we can often install a temporary solution and return with your preferred unit. We schedule most service calls within 24-48 hours, and emergency repairs may be available depending on your location and our technician availability.

What should I do if my garbage disposal stops working?

First, try pressing the reset button on the bottom of the disposal unit. If it won’t stay in or the disposal still won’t run, check that it’s plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Never put your hand inside the disposal, even when it’s turned off. If these simple steps don’t solve the problem, or if you hear unusual noises or see leaks, it’s time to call a professional. Continuing to use a malfunctioning disposal can damage your plumbing or create electrical hazards. We can quickly diagnose whether you need a repair or replacement and get your kitchen back to normal.
