The old one out, the new one in, wired right and running before we leave. We replace dishwashers, garbage disposals and over-the-range microwaves, and add the circuit or outlet each one needs.

Next Phase Electric installs dishwashers, garbage disposals and over-the-range microwaves around Covington, Kent and nearby. Most jobs are a straight swap: the old appliance comes out and the new one goes in on the same water, drain and power, then we run it with you before we leave. Because we are electricians, we also fix the part most installers leave alone: a dishwasher that needs its own circuit or GFCI protection, a disposal with no switch, or a microwave sharing a circuit that keeps tripping. A new water line or drain where there was none is a job for a plumber, and we tell you that first. A dishwasher or disposal swap usually takes one to two hours.
From a straight swap to the circuit an older kitchen never had.
Old one out, new one in on the same water and drain lines, leveled, fixed under the counter and run through a cycle to check for drips.
A new disposal on the sink, the drain and dishwasher line connected, plugged into a switched outlet or wired direct, and tested.
The old hood or microwave down, the mounting plate fixed into a stud, the new one hung, vented through the existing duct or set to recirculate.
A dedicated circuit for the dishwasher or microwave, GFCI protection where the code wants it, an outlet in the cabinet above the range, and a switch for the disposal.
Three things decide whether it runs quietly and never trips.
Dishwashers and over-the-range microwaves each want a circuit of their own, and a disposal is often on one too. Shared with the counter outlets, they trip the breaker the moment the kettle goes on.
The current electrical code calls for GFCI protection on dishwashers and on kitchen outlets, including the one under the sink. We add it where it is missing.
Supply line snug, the drain routed so dirty water cannot run back into the dishwasher, and everything checked for drips with the water on.
Dishwashers and disposals connect one of two ways. Both are fine when done right.
| Plug-in (cord and outlet) | Hardwired (into a box) | |
|---|---|---|
| How it connects | A cord plugs into an outlet under the sink. | Wired straight into a box on the appliance. |
| Swapping it later | Unplug it. The easiest to replace. | Power off at the breaker, then disconnect at the box. |
| Shutoff | Pulling the plug is the shutoff. | A breaker that locks off, or a switch close by. |
| Best for | Most disposals and many dishwashers. | Where the old one was hardwired, or no outlet fits. |

Tell us which appliance, the model if you have it, and whether it replaces an old one. A photo under the sink or of the old unit helps. A technician reaches out within 1 business hour.
The circuit, the outlet or box, the shutoff valves and the drain. Exact price before any work.
Old one out, new one in, wired and connected, then run with you and checked for drips.
Three things set the price: whether it replaces an old one on the same hookups, whether it needs a new circuit or GFCI protection, and the cabinet fit. A straight swap is the shortest job. You get the exact price before any work starts.
Yes. Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG and most others. Tell us the model when you book, and whether it came with a power cord and a supply line.
Most makers ask for one, and it stops the breaker tripping when the dishwasher and the counter outlets run together. The current electrical code also calls for GFCI protection on a dishwasher. We add both when they are missing.
Yes. A new disposal on the sink and drain, the dishwasher line connected, and power from a switched outlet or wired direct. If there is no switch, we add one on the wall, or an air switch on the counter.
Yes. The mounting plate goes into a stud, the microwave hangs on it and bolts through the cabinet above, and it vents through the existing duct or recirculates. Most need their own circuit, and we add the outlet in the cabinet above if it is not there.
No. On a replacement we use the water and drain lines that are already there. A new line or drain where there was none is a job for a plumber, and we tell you that before we start.
A dishwasher or disposal swap usually takes one to two hours, and an over-the-range microwave about two. A new circuit adds an hour or two.
