Only do replacement. The guy was nice about it and said u need an extra part they dont carry on the truck. BB needs to do a better job of explaining this when they sell this install.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It looks like Best Buy deleted my review, so I will repost it. The person who installed the garbage disposal called early in the morning and wanted to come right in, but my appointment was not until later period he said that they are assigned certain routes and had to be done by a certain time period when he came to install the garbage disposal at my house, he seemed to be irritated to be there longer than he planned and he was carrying on a personal phone call. After he finished installing the garbage disposal, he told me that the pipe was a little too short and that he could run to Home Depot to pick up another one period he said that if I had a pipe in the house he could just use that one and do it for free. I happen to have family very close to the local Home Depot and they were headed there to buy the pipe, then he seemed to get a bit upset. He told me that the cost would be $45.00. I asked how the payment works and he told me to pay him directly and not to pay Best Buy. He accepted $45.00 in cash. He told me $45.00 was cheeping then hiring a plumber. I don't know if this is his side hustle or not. Maybe he intended to charge me $45.00 regardless. Earlier he said he could do it for free if I had an existing pipe. You are better off going to your local hardware store and finding a random person to come install things.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I replaced a previous garbage disposal. My old one was hard wired so I had to pay the installer $75 to install an electrical outlet for it. I also had the existing drain pipes. I assume if you have no drain pipes or electrical outlet, they may charge you to add them to your installation. I hope this helps you make an informed decision. Good luck! Kat
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope. The third party installer for my area could not install my disposal because I didn't have one previously. He said that the plumbing and the sink drain would need to be changed. BestBuy did refund my installation fee.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there. Thanks for your question. We can definitely install the new garbage disposal but it does not include the plumbing and pipes that would be there if an existing unit were in place. I hope this helps.
