FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal motor needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
If the unit hums but the blades will not turn even after manual resetting, frequently trips the breaker, emits a burning smell, leaks from the motor housing, or is more than 10–12 years old, the motor is usually at the end of its life. In such cases, repairing individual components rarely restores full performance or reliability, so a complete motor replacement—or installing a new disposal—is the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a typical garbage disposal motor replacement take for homes in Jacksboro?
For most residential units, our licensed plumbers can disconnect the existing disposal, install the new motor (or full disposal if needed), reconnect the plumbing and electrical, and test the system in about 60–90 minutes. If we encounter corroded drain lines or the sink flange needs to be re-sealed, the visit may run up to two hours, but same-day completion is standard.
Can you service every disposal brand, and will I definitely need a whole new unit?
We stock and service all major brands sold in the Jacksboro region—InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, GE, and more. When the grinding chamber and seals are still in good shape, we can often swap just the motor assembly. However, if internal corrosion, cracked housings, or outdated mounting systems are present, replacing the entire disposal yields better longevity and usually costs only slightly more than a motor-only fix.
What is the average cost of garbage disposal motor replacement in Jacksboro?
Pricing depends on horsepower rating, brand, and whether we replace just the motor or the full unit. Most homeowners spend $225–$325 for a 1/2-HP motor replacement, including parts, labor, and haul-away of the old unit. Upgrading to a new, quieter 3/4-HP or 1-HP disposal typically ranges from $325–$450 installed. We provide upfront, written estimates before any work begins.
Do I need to purchase the replacement motor myself, or will your plumbers supply one?
You do not have to worry about sourcing parts. We arrive with a selection of factory-authorized motors and complete disposals on the truck, matched to common sink and plumbing configurations in Jacksboro homes. If you have already bought a specific model, we’re happy to install it, but our bulk purchasing usually means lower total cost than retail pricing.
What warranty or guarantee do you offer on your garbage disposal motor replacement service?
All labor is covered by a 1-year workmanship guarantee. The replacement motor or new disposal carries the manufacturer’s parts warranty—typically 3 to 7 years depending on the model. Should any leaks, electrical issues, or performance problems arise within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. We’re also fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
