How Michael & Son determines your estimate

The feed type. When installing a garbage disposal, you can choose between a continuous feed or batch feed disposal. Continuous feed garbage disposals are more common and can turn off and on with a wall switch. On the other hand, batch feed disposals can be safer to use because they require a stopper lid to turn on. Since continuous feed garbage disposals are more popular, they are less expensive to install.

The size of the motor. Depending on the size of your garbage disposal's motor, measured in horsepower (HP), your installation costs can vary. The higher the HP of the garbage disposal, the more expensive it will cost to install. Motors with a range in the ⅓ and ½ for HP tend to be best for a household of 1-4 people and will be less expensive to install. However, you pay more for repairs down the line because smaller motors tend to jam more frequently. If you have a large household or know you'll use your garbage disposal a lot, we recommend getting a motor size between ¾ and 1 HP for smoother operation.

The type of steel used. Most manufacturers make garbage disposals with either stainless steel or galvanized steel, with stainless steel disposals being more expensive to install because they're stronger. If you use your garbage disposal frequently, stainless steel disposals are a great choice because they are more durable. In general, galvanized steel garbage disposals work best for most households and are less expensive to install; however, they are more prone to corrosion and rusting, so you might pay more in repair and replacement costs over the disposal's lifetime.
