Signs You Need a New Garbage Disposal Installed
With proper maintenance, garbage disposals generally have lifespans of 10 to 15 years. There are a few signs that can indicate that you may need a new garbage disposal:
- Clogging – your garbage disposal is frequently or increasingly clogged.
- Foul odors – you notice odors coming from the disposal, even after a thorough clean.
- Leaks – water or other liquids are coming from the unit.
- Noises – rattling or grinding noises coming from the disposal.
Which Garbage Disposal Is Best?
There are two main types of garbage disposals: continuous feed and batch feed. Continuous feed garbage disposals are the most common type and are designed to operate continuously while running water. They allow you to add food waste to the disposal while it’s running. Batch feed garbage disposals, require you to load food waste into the disposal and then activate it with a stopper. Generally considered safer than continuous feed disposals, they may not be as efficient for larger households that generate a lot of food waste.
Garbage disposal horsepower is another important factor to consider when choosing a disposal. Higher horsepower disposals can handle tougher food waste and reduce the risk of clogs.
Garbage disposals can be hardwired or plugged into an electrical outlet. Hardwired disposals require professional installation and are more permanent. Plug-in disposals are easier to install and can be moved or replaced more easily.
Other factors to consider when choosing a garbage disposal include motor power, noise level, component materials, and grinding capacity.
Our expert plumbers can recommend the best garbage disposal for your needs and provide efficient installation services to ensure it’s up and running quickly.
