Frequently Asked Questions

My garbage disposal is making a humming noise but not grinding. Can PTN Mechanical repair it, and do you have the parts on hand?

Yes, we can. A humming disposal often indicates a jam or a worn motor. Our technicians are experienced in garbage disposal repair and typically carry common replacement parts for quick fixes during the initial service call. For less common models or high-end units, we can source the correct part promptly to get your kitchen back in working order.

Why is an electrical inspection important before installing a new garbage disposal?

A proper electrical inspection ensures the circuit can handle the disposal's power requirements and that the wiring and connections are safe. This is crucial for preventing overloads, potential fire hazards, or damage to the new unit. Our electricians check the dedicated circuit, GFCI protection, and switch to ensure a safe and reliable installation that meets local Barrington codes.

After a recent power surge in Barrington, my appliances are acting up. Can you help diagnose if there's electrical damage?

Absolutely. Power surges and arc fault breaker trips are common local electrical issues we address. Our electricians can perform a thorough inspection of your home's electrical system and individual appliance circuits. We'll identify any surge damage, test your breakers, and recommend repairs or protective measures to safeguard your appliances and home wiring from future incidents.
