The garbage disposal machine is a vital

kitchen appliance that’s present in most

American homes. It helps homeowners

clean up after meals faster and easier. Not

only that, it also lessens the amount of

garbage that collectors get from our

homes. However, know that the use of

garbage disposals should not be frequent

because the wastes that you grind in the machine also add to the content of your

septic tank.

Moving forward, this valuable piece of appliance is also prone to different kinds of

problems. It may clog. Its blades may jam. It may simply malfunction just as you

are washing your dirty plates. According to research, garbage disposals can last

for up to 10 to 12 years. But without proper care and the constant use and abuse,

they will wear it. If you are currently planning to replace your garbage disposal at

home, let us give you some important points about the cost of replacement.

Cost of The Garbage

Disposal

Garbage disposals come in different

types, models and sizes. Of course, the

bigger the unit, the better it will serve

you. However, you might want to watch

out for the cost of the very unit and the

operational expenses, too.

Anyway, residential types differ in terms of

horsepower. According to a recent report,

a machine with a 1/3 HP ranges from

about $50 to $115. On the other hand, a

machine with a ½ HP ranges from about

$60 to $180. Still, those with ¾ HP and 1

HP also vary in terms of their price tags.

The bottom line is that residential garbage

disposals can be bought within a range of $50 to $380.

Meanwhile, there are also light, commercial-type disposals which you can also

install in your home. While these are already considered luxuries, they are of

course, more efficient and more powerful than residential types. Their costs

range from $500 to $2500. So the question now would be, are you willing to

spend that much?

To further explore the factors that influence the tags of garbage disposals, you

should know that they vary based on the material used for their grinders; their

features and their compatibility with septic tank systems.

Installation Cost

1. DIY or Your Friendly Plumber

If you’ll install the garbage disposal on your own, surely you’ll only pay for the

machine and the supplies / tools that

you’ll use. If you’ll seek the help of a

professional, you’ll have to pay for the

project.

2. Installation Situation

If you’ll replace the old unit with a new

machine that’s compatible with the

installation set up, there won’t be other tasks

that should be carried out and therefore, no

accompanying charges for those, too. Now if

you need a new circuit panel installed, you

evidently have to pay an electrician for that.

3. Hourly Plumber or Fixed-Rate Plumber

Plumbers charge differently. Some charge by the hour while others charge per

project.

4. Additional Tasks

If you’ve decided to hire a plumber and he’s tasked with other stuff such as the

removal of the old garbage disposal, expect that he’ll probably charge more.
