Can I install a garbage disposal myself without hiring a plumber?

Yes, you can install a garbage disposal yourself if you’re comfortable with basic plumbing and electrical tasks. For many homeowners, hiring a licensed plumber is safer and helps avoid leaks, improper traps, or wiring mistakes. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling performs garbage-disposal installations and offers same-day service with upfront pricing. We serve Glendale Heights and nearby cities like Elgin and Schaumburg.

Quick checks before DIY:

• Ensure a grounded outlet and enough space under the sink.
• Confirm sink flange, P-trap, and dishwasher connection compatibility.
• Turn off power and water before starting.
