Appliances Covered by This Installation Page
Installation can cover common household refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, cooking appliances, microwaves and similar equipment when the location is prepared for the specific unit. Provide the model and installation instructions when available so dimensions, connections and clearances can be checked.
A refrigerator installation may involve water-line readiness and door clearance, while a washer requires suitable supply valves and drain placement, and a dishwasher depends on cabinet opening, drain and electrical conditions. Cooking appliances may involve higher-voltage or gas connections that require appropriately qualified work. Share the exact appliance model and photos of the installation area when those conditions are relevant.
New Installation vs Replacement
Replacing an existing appliance is often simpler because the opening and basic connections already exist, but that does not guarantee the new model is compatible. Dimensions can change, door swings may require more clearance, electrical plugs or voltage can differ, and gas or water connections may not match the new manufacturer's requirements.
A first-time installation introduces more unknowns because there may be no drain, water line, outlet, vent, gas supply or secure mounting point in place. When requesting service, say whether the job is replacing a similar appliance or adding equipment to a new location. Photos and measurements of the opening and existing connections can help show whether the request is a standard install or needs additional trade work or changes to the installation area.
Site and Utility Readiness
Before installation, confirm that the appliance can reach the room and fit the intended opening. Measure doorways, hallways, stair turns and the final cabinet or alcove, especially for large refrigerators, laundry pairs and built-in cooking appliances. Note the existing water, drain, electrical, gas and vent connections without altering them. For stacked or built-in equipment, provide the product installation instructions if available because mounting and clearance requirements can vary.
A prepared installation area means the required dimensions, access and existing connections are understood before the appointment. If a new circuit, gas line, plumbing relocation, cabinet modification or countertop cutout is needed, that work must be confirmed separately rather than assumed as part of basic appliance installation.
Built-In and Freestanding Appliances
Freestanding appliances are typically designed to slide into an open location with standard clearances, while built-in equipment may be secured to cabinetry, surrounded by trim or fitted into a precise opening. Wall ovens, built-in refrigerators, cooktops, dishwashers and over-the-range microwaves can require product-specific mounting, ventilation or cutout conditions. A replacement built-in unit may not fit even when the nominal width appears the same.
Share model information and installation instructions before the job when possible. Custom cabinetry, countertop fabrication and structural modification are not included unless separately confirmed.
What Is Not Automatically Included
Delivery, old-appliance haul-away, new gas lines, new electrical circuits, plumbing relocation, vent rerouting, cabinet reconstruction, countertop cutting, wall repair and permit work are not automatically included unless the specific job has been confirmed. Some installations may need none of those extras; others may depend on one or more of them before the appliance can be placed safely.
Describe the current installation area and the new appliance as clearly as possible before scheduling. Photos, dimensions and visible connection details help determine whether the project is a straightforward replacement or needs additional utility, cabinet, countertop or access work.
What to Share Before Scheduling
Provide the appliance type, brand and model, whether the unit is already at the property, and whether the project is a replacement or first-time installation. Include opening measurements and photos showing the current appliance or empty space plus the visible connections.
For a refrigerator, note water-line availability; for laundry, show supply, drain and vent conditions; for a dishwasher, show the cabinet opening and sink area; for cooking appliances, identify gas or electric service without disconnecting anything. If delivery or removal is part of the customer's expectation, say so explicitly so it can be confirmed rather than assumed. Product installation instructions are especially useful for built-in units because they state the manufacturer's clearance and mounting requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does installation include new plumbing, gas or electrical work?
Those items are not automatically included and must be confirmed for the specific project.
Should I send the appliance model before installation?
Yes. Model information and installation instructions can help identify dimensions, connections and mounting requirements.
What if the appliance is already installed but not working?
Use the dedicated repair service for that appliance when the main need is diagnosis and repair rather than installation.
