FAQs
What makes a garbage disposal “high-efficiency,” and why should I consider replacing my current unit?
A high-efficiency garbage disposal uses improved grinding chambers, permanent-magnet or high-torque motors, and precision-engineered impellers to break down food waste faster while using less electricity and water. Newer models also run more quietly and resist jams. Replacing an older, inefficient unit can reduce utility costs, keep clogs from forming in your drain line, and minimize the load on Luttrell’s wastewater treatment system, making it an environmentally responsible upgrade.
How can I tell if my garbage disposal needs repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include persistent clogs, frequent resets, water leaks around the housing, humming without spinning, foul odors that cleaning does not remove, and visible rust or cracks. If the unit is over 8–10 years old or has a failed motor, a high-efficiency replacement is usually more economical than repeated repairs. Our technicians can inspect the disposal in your Luttrell home and give you an honest recommendation on the spot.
Which high-efficiency brands or models do you install in Luttrell?
We service and install leading ENERGY STAR–qualified and eco-friendly models from InSinkErator (Evolution and Pro Series), Moen EXL and GX Series, Waste King Legend Series, and EcoLogic. All units we stock feature stainless-steel grind components, multi-grind technology, and sound-shield insulation. If you have a preferred brand, we can special-order and install it to match your sink’s configuration.
Will a new high-efficiency disposal fit my existing plumbing and electrical setup?
In most Luttrell homes, yes. High-efficiency disposals are designed with standard 3-bolt mounting systems that match common sink flanges. They operate on the same 120-volt, 60-Hz electrical supply as older units. During our visit, we verify that your sink opening, countertop depth, and drain alignment are compatible. If minor adjustments are needed—such as rewiring a switch, installing an outlet, or shortening a drain tailpiece—we’ll handle those as part of the service.
What is the typical cost and turnaround time for garbage disposal repair or replacement in Luttrell?
Basic repairs, such as jam clearing or flange resealing, usually range from $120–$200 and can be completed in under an hour. Full replacement with a high-efficiency unit typically costs $350–$650, depending on horsepower, sound insulation, and warranty length. Most installations take 1–2 hours, and we carry popular models on our trucks for same-day service. All pricing is provided up-front, with no hidden fees.
How can I keep my new high-efficiency disposal running smoothly for years?
Run cold water before and after grinding, feed food scraps gradually, avoid fibrous items (corn husks, celery), bones larger than fish bones, grease, and expandable starches. Every two weeks, grind a tray of ice cubes and citrus peels to clean the blades and freshen the chamber. Use only disposal-safe cleaners—no harsh drain chemicals. Schedule an annual plumbing check-up so we can inspect the unit, tighten fittings, and flush the drain line, ensuring maximum efficiency and longevity.
