A Raleigh homeowner in the 27615 area asked to have a garbage disposal repair and a furnace control board repair scheduled for the same time and date.
The furnace control board, which coordinates the furnace's functions, had been found to be defective, leading to operational issues. Jeorell replaced the half horsepower garbage disposal with a Badger InSinkErator unit and checked for leaks. On the furnace side, the old board was removed from the attic, a new manufacturer-specific control board was installed, and operations were tested.
The new disposal was working properly with no leaks, and the system was cooling at the time of departure, leaving the homeowner very happy with the work.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.
Most quality disposals last 8 to 12 years with proper use. However, Triangle-area hard water can shorten that lifespan if the unit has galvanized rather than stainless steel components. If your disposal is making unusual noises, leaking, or frequently jamming, it's likely time for a replacement.
For a household of 1 to 2 people with light cooking, a 1/3 to 1/2 HP unit is sufficient. Families of 3 to 4 should consider 3/4 HP, and households that cook frequently or have 5+ members benefit from a full 1 HP model with sound insulation.
Yes, but we recommend a septic-rated model like the InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist, which injects enzymes to help break down food waste. We also advise more frequent septic tank pumping if you use a disposal regularly.
Not at all. While mounting systems vary between brands, our plumbers carry universal adapters and can switch between any brand without modifying your sink. The installation typically takes about an hour regardless of the brand swap.
