What is The Average Cost to Install a Garbage Disposal?

The cost to install a garbage disposal will depend, in part, on whether a new unit is being installed for the first time or whether a broken garbage disposal needs to be replaced. Obviously, if a preexisting garbage disposal needs to be replaced, there will be more labor involved than simply putting a garbage disposal in where there wasn’t one previously. That being said, the average cost to replace a garbage disposal is usually $200-650. The specific unit that is being installed will be the biggest factor that affects the price of the service. Different motor sizes and brands will vary substantially in price, but the labor that a plumber charges will typically only account for $100-200 of the total cost regardless of model. Homeowners may find that since they are paying a local plumber to come out and install a new garbage disposal that they would benefit from replacing the sink faucet or replacing the sink itself at the same time.
