What do homeowners ask about Appliance Installation?
Why not just use the big-box store's installer?
You can, but the national delivery contractors skip crucial steps: leveling, water-line pressure testing, gas-line leak testing with a manometer, dryer-vent transition sealing. We've rebuilt dozens of poorly done chain installs. Our install is done once, warrantied, and verified.
Do you handle gas ranges?
Yes. Gas connections are flex-line code-compliant, shut-off valve verified, and leak-tested with a digital manometer before the range is pushed in. We document the test for your records.
Can you convert gas to electric (or vice versa)?
Sometimes, depends on existing connections. Electric-to-gas needs an accessible gas stub. Gas-to-electric needs a dedicated 240V circuit and outlet. We'll evaluate during scheduling and coordinate with an electrician if a new circuit is needed.
Can you remove and dispose of my old appliance?
Yes, with advance notice. Standard haul-away is $80 per appliance within San Diego County. Refrigerators and wine coolers with refrigerant are $120 (we coordinate EPA-compliant refrigerant recovery).
Is installation needed for a freestanding refrigerator?
Technically no, you can plug it in. But leveling matters (for door seals and ice maker drainage), and the water line needs a proper compression fitting or braided supply line to avoid slow leaks behind the fridge. A proper install is worth the $180.
