Each and every day, your garbage disposal makes life easy for you by quickly getting rid of food scraps and plenty of other things. However, all good things must come to an end at some point, meaning the day will come when you flip the switch on your disposal and get strange noises or nothing at all. When this happens, you might find yourself in need of a new garbage disposal.
While you may think installing a garbage disposal is easy, it can be anything but that. Rather than take a chance on having mistakes made during the installation process, look to us here at Boss Plumbing for the very best garbage disposal installation in Los Angeles.
Can You Install a Garbage Disposal Yourself?
Whether you’ve got an old garbage disposal that needs to be sent to that great appliance graveyard in the sky or have finally decided to add an appliance to your home that will make your time in the kitchen easier and far less messy, don’t assume that you’ll be able to buy a new garbage disposal and make it a weekend DIY project.
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, trying to install a garbage disposal for the first time can be a complex job that is ripe for errors to occur along the way. For example, is the sink flange in your kitchen made for a garbage disposal? What about wiring or electrical outlets? If you’re not careful, you may not only create additional problems, but also possibly even put your own safety at risk. Rather than experience this hassle, leave the job to us here at Boss Plumbing.
To Repair or Replace?
When the time comes to get a new garbage disposal installed at your home, chances are there will have been plenty of warning signs along the way letting you know your old garbage disposal is on its last legs.
One of the most common signs that indicates you may be in need of a new garbage disposal is when bad odors start emerging from your disposal. While you can eliminate these with baking soda or small pieces of citrus fruits, it’s usually an indication your disposal’s motor or blades may be on the decline, meaning a new disposal may be in order.
Another way to know you may need a new garbage disposal is when you hear a loud humming and other odd noises each time you turn on your disposal. This usually means the disposal is still getting power, but has a motor that is no longer powerful enough to grind up its contents. Since replacing the motor will cost as much or more than getting a new disposal, installing a new one makes the most sense.
