What power source does my Insinkerator disposal unit require?

Asked 4 months ago
Insinkerator disposal units typically require a standard household electrical power source. Most models are designed to be powered by a 120-volt outlet, making it compatible with the common electrical systems found in residential properties in the United States and Canada. It is important to ensure that the disposal unit is connected to a proper circuit, ideally dedicated to the garbage disposal to prevent overloads. Additionally, Insinkerator units usually come with a power cord, but certain installations may require hardwiring where an electrician would be necessary for installation. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation and ensure the power source matches the specifications outlined in the user manual of your specific model. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding your unit, checking the specific product page on the Insinkerator website can be helpful.
