We do a significant number of installation jobs in Northern Virginia, and the majority of them involve correcting problems from the previous install or adapting utility connections that do not match the new appliance. Gas line conversions, electrical outlet upgrades from 3-prong to 4-prong, water line rerouting for relocated refrigerators, and leveling on uneven kitchen floors are all part of a typical day. The most expensive mistake we see homeowners make is buying a new appliance without checking the utility connections first. A $1,200 dishwasher does not come with the $200 worth of plumbing adapters and electrical work it might need in a 1980s kitchen.
Common Appliance Installation Problems We Fix

We handle delivery positioning, leveling, water line connection for ice makers, anti-tip bracket installation, door reversal if needed, and temperature calibration. We also remove and haul away your old unit upon request.

Proper dishwasher installation includes water supply connection, drain line routing with a high loop or air gap, electrical hookup, leveling inside the cabinet, and securing the unit with mounting brackets. We test-run a cycle before leaving.

We connect water supply hoses with proper shut-off valves, install drain hoses at the correct height, verify proper leveling to prevent vibration, and for dryers, we connect the vent duct and ensure proper exhaust airflow. Gas dryer connections include leak testing.

OTR microwave installation involves securing the mounting bracket to the wall, routing the power cord and vent ductwork, and testing all functions. These units are heavy and require precise bracket alignment.
