Appliance Installation Done Right

A dead disposal or a dishwasher that will not drain throws off the whole kitchen. Igor replaces garbage disposals, installs and removes dishwashers (including the air gap), and swaps over-the-range microwaves where the existing hookups are already in place. Summer in San Diego can get hot inland, so window and portable AC units are on the list too, along with AC filter changes and bathroom exhaust fan cleaning. Every install is tested for leaks and function before we leave. Send a photo of the old unit and the space under the sink, and you will have a quote back fast.

Appliance Installation: Frequently Asked Questions

Labor for replacing a disposal typically runs about $150 to $400, plus the cost of the unit. Text a photo of what you have now for a free quote on your exact job.

Tell us when you send the photo whether you already have the part, fixture or unit. If you do not, we will talk through exactly what is needed so it is spelled out in your quote before any work starts.

We focus on replacing units where the water, drain and power are already there. A brand new location usually means new plumbing and electrical, which needs a different trade and permits.

Most straightforward swaps take about one to three hours. Older connections that need extra parts can add time, and that shows up in your quote.

We stick to repairs and like-for-like swaps. Anything that needs a permit (new electrical circuits, gas lines, moving plumbing or structural work) goes to the right specialist, and we will tell you that upfront instead of guessing.
