With the holidays come overworked, overloaded and overused garbage disposals. More disposals break down under the excess wear and tear (and overstuffing) during this time of year than any other.<\/p>\n<p>The good news: Most garbage disposals will last 10 to 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news: Broken garbage disposals are not always an easy DIY project and often require assistance from a\u00a0<a style=\"color: #38538c;\" title=\"Plumber \" href=\"\/plumbing-service-repair\/\">professional plumber<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself without a working disposal and it\u2019s time to get a new garbage disposal, you\u2019ll need to evaluate the following considerations in addition to horsepower: how frequently will the unit be used? How will it connect to the dishwasher? Are other features desired (such as quiet operation)? Warranty terms are also good thing to evaluate before selecting a new disposal.<\/p>\n<p>What surprises some homeowners is that\u00a0installation\u00a0can be pretty complex. Many people purchase a disposal at a local hardware store or Big Box assuming the project is a simple remove\/replace. That\u2019s not always the case. Best practice is to hire a\u00a0professional plumber\u00a0(many of whom can recommend brands based on your specific uses). A professional is more likely to have both the\u00a0plumbing and electrical\u00a0expertise necessary to ensure safe, compliant installation.<\/p>\n<p>A broken garbage disposal doesn\u2019t have to ruin your holiday.
