        "text": "You should consider replacing your garbage disposal rather than repairing it if the unit is more than 10-12 years old, experiences frequent and severe jams, leaks persistently, or if the motor has completely burned out. The cost of a major repair on an older, less efficient unit might approach or exceed the cost of a new, more powerful, and quieter model. Our technicians can assess the age and condition of your current unit during a service visit to provide an honest recommendation, helping you weigh the short-term cost of repair against the long-term benefits of a new installation, including potential energy and water efficiency improvements.",
