Delivery Checklist & Major Appliance Hook-up Guide: |
|
|
The number one reason for appliance returns is because they do not fit into the intended space or can't fit through the doorways or hallways. We've put together the following tips to help you avoid the inconvenience and cost of purchasing a product that is not right for you or your space. In order to prepare for your new appliance purchase and to be ready for your delivery, please read through the following guide.
|
|
Measure First! |
|
It’s very important that you measure the area where your appliance will be placed and be sure that your product will fit within the given dimensions. Check the entire pathway that the appliance will take to get to its final destination. Ensure that it will fit through each hallway and doorway of the entire path. |
|
Check Your Connections! |
|
Make sure to have an appropriate electric outlet within 3 ½ feet of the space you’ve selected for your new product. Check to see that the outlet is grounded (accepts a three-prong plug), since most appliances require one. For electric dryers and electric ranges, be sure to check for a 240V electric connection. |
|
Measure Again! |
|
Take another look at the pathway en route to the final destination of your appliance and ensure that your product will fit through the designated space. |

Refrigerators and Freezers: |
|
- A standard three-prong, grounded electrical outlet must be within reach of the unit's electrical connection. The typical length of an appliance cord ranges from 3-5 feet.
- Be sure to check space clearance for complete unit measurements: height, depth and width.
- Refrigerators with icemakers and water dispensers will need to be connected to a water line. Copper water line installation kits are available for online purchase or you can find them at any local hardware store. You can install the water lines on your own or contact a local service company to install them.

Some examples of built-in products include: cooktops, wall ovens, undercounter refrigeration, air-conditioners, water heaters, water softeners, etc. Installation is not included in our standard delivery services. The cost of custom installation projects will vary depending on the type of appliance as well as the set-up of your home.
