How do you create an electrical connection for a garbage disposal?

Answer 1

It is best to install a new circuit dedicated only to the disposal unit unless you have a major kitchen renovation going on. If walls are being opened up, you can come out of an existing counter socket outlet. Remember that there will also have to be a suitable switch installed into the cable going to the unit to control its operation. <><><>

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized
