Appliance Installation
New appliances set, leveled, and connected without leaving the old hookups guessing.
Getting a new dishwasher, washer, or dryer into place involves more than sliding it into the opening — water lines, drain connections, gas lines, or dedicated electrical outlets all need to match what the new unit requires. Installation visits check these connections before the appliance is set in its final spot.
Older shore homes sometimes have hookups that don't quite match modern appliance standards, whether that's an outdated outlet configuration or a water line that needs a new shutoff valve. Identifying mismatches ahead of time avoids a stalled installation halfway through.
Gas appliance connections and any work requiring new electrical circuits are outside handyman scope and need a licensed plumber or electrician. Straightforward swaps using existing, compatible hookups make up the bulk of these visits.
Problems we get called about
Mismatched hookups
New appliances that require a different water, drain, or electrical connection than what's currently in place.
Uneven or unstable placement
Appliances that aren't level once installed, which can cause vibration, noise, or drainage issues.
Old shutoff valves or connectors
Worn valves or hoses on existing hookups that should be replaced when installing a new appliance.
Tight or awkward install spaces
Kitchens and laundry areas where clearance is limited, requiring careful maneuvering during installation.
