Garbage Disposal Installations & Replacements
Garbage disposals are one of the top must-have conveniences for every great kitchen and they come with many options. These range from the most basic to higher horsepower restaurant-quality units with strong and durable motors, ultra-quiet versions, and even septic-safe versions.
Features of a Great Garbage Disposal:
- An automatic shut-off (this prolongs the life of your unit by stopping the rotating blades when an item gets lodged, instead of tearing up the motor).
- Auto-reverse mode (helps loosen jams).
- Durable motor.
- Clog-free operation.
- Quiet.
- Solid warranty.
Garbage Disposal Issues? We’ve got you covered
Whether you’re installing a new garbage disposal, replacing an existing one, or just need a garbage disposal repair, you can count on the TE Certified team for timely, reliable service every time.
We verify that your new garbage disposal is sewer/septic compatible and properly sized for your household usage and under-sink capacity. And we relocate plumbing to accommodate kitchen renovations and deeper sinks.
Switching to a different type of wiring? No problem. We install hardwired units where there is no existing wiring and install electrical outlets for plug-in units. And we run the electrical for an under-counter or wall-mounted switch.

Pro tip! Preserve Your Garbage Disposal
While some repairs are inevitable, it is possible to avoid significant damage just by knowing what you can and can’t toss down your garbage disposal. A few items to keep away from your system include:
- Animal bones
- Corn husks or any stringy material
- Eggshells
- Fruit pits
- Grease/oil
- Pasta
- Potato peels
