FAQs
How do I know whether my garbage disposal needs a total unit replacement instead of a repair?
In Kingston’s hard-water environment, disposals usually last 8–12 years. Replacement is recommended when the motor hums but won’t spin, the unit trips the breaker repeatedly, the grind plate is cracked, or there are leaks coming from the body—not just the plumbing connections. If repair parts exceed 50 % of the cost of a new model or the disposal is near the end of its service life, a full replacement is the more economical and reliable choice.
What are the common signs that my garbage disposal is failing?
Warning signs include persistent clogs despite careful use, metallic grinding or rattling noises, frequent resets, water leakage from the bottom of the unit, lingering odors that cleaning can’t remove, and slow operation even after reset. If you notice any of these issues in your Kingston home, schedule an inspection to confirm whether a repair or full replacement is best.
How long does a professional garbage disposal replacement take?
For most under-sink configurations in Kingston, our licensed plumbers complete a total unit replacement in 60–90 minutes. This timeframe includes shut-off, safe removal of the old disposal, installation of the new unit, leak and electrical testing, and a brief customer tutorial. Complexities such as corroded drain lines or custom cabinetry can add time, but we will give you an accurate estimate before work starts.
Can I supply my own garbage disposal, or do I need to purchase one through your company?
We’re flexible. Many customers choose from our pre-vetted selection of InSinkErator and Moen disposals because they include extended parts-and-labor warranties, but you may supply a unit that meets Kingston plumbing code and matches your sink’s mounting flange. If you provide the disposal, we’ll still warranty our workmanship for one year; manufacturer coverage will depend on the brand you buy.
What is the typical cost of a total garbage disposal replacement in Kingston?
Prices range from $275 for a standard 1⁄2-HP model to $625 for a premium 3⁄4-HP or 1-HP, sound-insulated unit. The quote includes removal, disposal recycling fee, new mounting hardware, electrical connection, and a one-year labor warranty. Additional costs may apply if we need to modify drain pipes, replace an air switch, or install a GFCI outlet to meet code.
Do new garbage disposals come with a warranty, and what does it cover?
Yes. Our most popular units carry a 3- to 8-year manufacturer warranty that covers internal components, leaks, and motor failure. When we supply and install the disposal in Kingston, we extend that coverage with a one-year labor guarantee—meaning if any manufacturer-covered issue arises, we’ll replace or repair the unit at no extra charge for service within the first year. We also register the product for you so your warranty is active from day one.
