Professional Garbage Disposal Installation Services in Grand Rapids, MI

The cost of garbage disposal installation depends on the model selected, whether you are replacing an existing unit or adding a disposal for the first time, and whether any electrical or plumbing modifications are needed. Grapids Home Services provides upfront pricing that includes removal of the old unit (if applicable), installation, and testing. Call (616) 208-4417 to schedule.

Most garbage disposal replacements are completed in one to two hours. First-time installations that require new drain connections, a mounting flange, and an electrical circuit may take two to three hours. Grapids Home Services provides a time estimate during your consultation. Call (616) 208-4417 to book yours.

For most Grand Rapids households, a 1/2 horsepower disposal handles light to moderate food waste. A 3/4 horsepower unit is recommended for families that cook frequently and process heavier food waste. A 1 horsepower disposal is ideal for large families or heavy kitchen use. Grapids Home Services recommends the right size based on your household’s cooking habits and family size.

Grapids Home Services can supply the disposal or install one you have already purchased. If you buy your own, make sure it is compatible with your sink drain opening (most residential sinks use a standard 3.5-inch opening). Our plumbers can advise you on compatibility and features during the consultation.

Yes. Grapids Home Services installs garbage disposals in sinks that do not currently have one. This includes installing the mounting flange, connecting the drain and dishwasher discharge line, and providing an electrical connection (either hardwired or to a switched outlet under the sink). Call (616) 208-4417 to discuss your project.

To extend the life of your disposal and prevent drain clogs, avoid putting grease, oil, and fat (they solidify in your drain), bones and hard shells, fibrous vegetables like celery and corn husks, pasta, rice, and starchy foods that expand, coffee grounds in large quantities, and non-food items down the disposal. Grapids Home Services provides care instructions with every installation.
