Help your installation go smoothly:

Clear Pathway (User's Requirement):
Clear a path from the street to the laundry room, ensuring it is wide enough to accommodate the washer. This includes doorways, hallways, and stairs if applicable. Washers are HEAVY (150-200 lbs).

Adult 18+ Available (User's Requirement):
Adult 18 or older must be present during entire installation appointment.

Purchase NEW Fill Hoses (User's CRITICAL Requirement):
You MUST purchase NEW hot and cold fill hoses ($15-30 for pair from hardware store). Some washers do NOT come with fill hoses. Existing fill hoses CANNOT be reused. Use stainless steel braided hoses (much safer than rubber - prevents burst and flooding). Standard length is 4-6 feet.

Purchase Stacking Kit (If Stacking):
If you want to stack dryer on washer, you must purchase the CORRECT stacking kit designed specifically for your washer and dryer models. Installation only available if existing dryer is same size as new washer.

Purchase Pedestal (If Desired):
If you want to raise your front-load washer for easier access, purchase matching pedestal (typically $150-300) designed for your washer model. Note: Cannot stack if using pedestals.

Additional Preparation:
- Locate hot and cold water shutoff valves behind washer (verify they work)
- Know drain type (standpipe, laundry sink, or floor drain)
- Verify 110V electrical outlet accessible behind washer
- Clear area around washer location
- Have purchase receipt and warranty information
- Remove items from laundry room that could be damaged

Q: How long does washing machine installation take in the Atlanta area?
Most washing machine installations take 1.5-2.5 hours, including disconnection and removal of old washer, NEW fill hoses installation, drain connection, precision leveling (most critical), 110V electrical connection, and comprehensive operational testing including full wash cycle. Pedestal or stacking installations may take 2-3 hours.

Q: Why can't I reuse my existing fill hoses?
Existing fill hoses CANNOT be reused because: (1) Some washers don't include fill hoses - must purchase separately, (2) Old rubber hoses deteriorate over time causing bursts and flooding (water damage costs thousands), (3) Old hoses may have mineral deposits reducing flow, (4) Code compliance requires new hoses. You must purchase NEW stainless steel braided hoses ($15-30 pair) which are much safer than rubber hoses.

Q: What is the difference between front-load and top-load washers?
Front-Load: Door opens from front. Advantages: Much more energy/water efficient (uses 40-60% less water), gentler on clothes, higher spin speeds (better water extraction = faster drying), stackable, can add pedestal. Disadvantages: More expensive ($700-2,000), requires HE detergent, door gasket needs maintenance (leave door open after use to prevent mold), slightly longer wash cycles. Top-Load Traditional: Agitator, fills with water. Advantages: Less expensive ($400-900), faster wash cycles, easier loading. Disadvantages: Uses more water/energy, harsher on clothes, lower spin speeds. Top-Load HE: Impeller (no agitator), HE. Advantages: More efficient than traditional, larger capacity.

Q: What is High-Efficiency (HE) and do I need special detergent?
High-Efficiency (HE) washers use significantly less water than traditional washers (15-30 gallons vs. 40-50 gallons per load). ALL front-load washers are HE. Many newer top-load washers are HE. HE washers REQUIRE HE detergent (look for "HE" symbol on detergent bottle). Regular detergent creates too many suds in HE washers causing poor cleaning, residue buildup, and potential mechanical damage. Use only 1-2 tablespoons HE detergent per load.

Q: Why is leveling so important for washing machines?
Leveling is CRITICAL because: (1) Prevents walking - unlevel washer "walks" forward during high-speed spin (up to 1,400 RPM), (2) Reduces vibration and noise - unlevel washer vibrates excessively causing noise and structural stress, (3) Ensures proper water distribution - unlevel washer may not drain completely or distribute water evenly, (4) Prevents mechanical damage - excessive vibration causes premature bearing wear and suspension damage. Washer must be level side-to-side, front-to-back, and both diagonals.

Q: What are shipping bolts and why must they be removed?
Shipping bolts (or shipping rods) are 3-4 bolts installed at factory that lock washer drum during shipping to prevent damage. CRITICAL: Shipping bolts MUST be removed before first use. Running washer with shipping bolts installed causes SEVERE damage to suspension system (repair costs $300-800). Keep shipping bolts for future moves - reinstall them if moving washer. Plastic plugs typically provided to fill shipping bolt holes.

Q: Do washing machines need hot water connection even if I only wash in cold?
YES! Even if you only wash in cold water, washer still needs BOTH hot AND cold water connections. Washer controls water temperature internally by mixing hot and cold water. Most washers won't operate properly without both connections (some display error codes).

Q: What is the proper drain hose height and why does it matter?
Drain hose should be positioned 18-96 inches above floor. Too low (under 18"): Water siphons out during fill cycle causing washer to run continuously. Too high (over 96"): Drain pump can't pump water up that high causing drainage failure. Standpipe: Insert drain hose 6-8 inches into standpipe (not too deep - needs airflow to prevent siphoning).

Q: Can you stack dryer on top of washer?
Yes! We provide stacking installation IF: (1) Your existing dryer is SAME SIZE as your new washer, (2) You have purchased the CORRECT stacking kit designed specifically for your washer and dryer models (typically $50-150), (3) Both appliances are front-load style. Cannot stack if using pedestals.

Q: Do you handle disposal of my old washer?
Yes! For $19.99, we'll haul away your old washing machine and take it for proper recycling. This is optional but highly recommended for complete service.

Q: What brands of washing machines can you install?
We install all major brands including Samsung (AddWash, smart WiFi, VRT Plus), LG (TurboWash, TwinWash, ThinQ app), Whirlpool (Load & Go, 2 in 1 Removable Agitator), Maytag (PowerWash, commercial technology), GE (Profile, Cafe, SmartDispense), Electrolux (Perfect Steam, LuxCare), Speed Queen (commercial-grade, 25+ year lifespan), Bosch (European engineering, ActiveWater), and all other manufacturers.
