What the lower end buys
Like-for-like swaps under a kitchen sink with an outlet already in the cabinet cost the least. Old unit unbolted and lowered out, new one hung on the existing ring, drain and dishwasher line reconnected, then run with water while we watch each joint.
What the higher end buys
First-time installs, a jump in horsepower that changes the body size, or drain plumbing that has to be recut to meet the new outlet take the top. With no switch or outlet under the cabinet, that new circuit becomes a job for a licensed electrician.

Biggest price driver
Replacing beats installing from scratch every time. A matching swap reuses the sink flange and the drain arm as they are. A first install means a new flange sealed into the sink, drain pieces cut to fit, and a dishwasher inlet knocked out before anything gets bolted up.
How to keep your garbage disposal installation cost down
Stay near the horsepower you have now, so the mounting ring and the drain height still line up. Clear everything out from under the sink, and leave the new unit and its plumbing kit on the counter for us.
