Disposal and Furnace Repairs on One September Day in Raleigh

What the customer reported

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.

What we found and did

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.

Result

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.

Why quality garbage disposal matters in Raleigh

Extreme Summer Heat

Raleigh's hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 95°F+ put tremendous stress on HVAC systems. Systems must be properly maintained and sized to handle the extended cooling season from May through September.

Diverse Buildings

The city's diverse neighborhoods from downtown high-rises to suburban homes to historic properties each have unique HVAC needs. Our technicians are experienced with all building types and their specific challenges.

Building Permits

Wake County building codes and city permits have specific requirements for HVAC installations and replacements. We handle all permitting to ensure your system meets local compliance standards.

Urban Heat Island

Urban heat island effects in downtown Raleigh can increase cooling demands by 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding areas. This requires careful system sizing and efficient equipment selection.

FAQ

Garbage Disposal in Raleigh: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.

How long do garbage disposals typically last?

Most quality disposals last 8 to 12 years with proper use. Units with stainless steel grinding parts tend to hold up longer. If your disposal is making unusual noises, leaking, or frequently jamming, it's likely time for a replacement.

What size garbage disposal do I need?

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.

Can I use a garbage disposal with a septic system?

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.

Is it difficult to switch from a different brand of disposal?

Not at all. Mounting systems vary between brands, but a new disposal comes with its own mounting assembly, and we swap it in during the install without modifying your sink. The installation typically takes about an hour regardless of the brand swap.
