Installing new appliances can seem straightforward, but even seemingly simple tasks can lead to mistakes that can cause damage, safety hazards, or void warranties. Here are common appliance installation mistakes to avoid in your San Antonio home.
Not Reading the Manufacturer's Instructions:
Each appliance has specific installation requirements. Always read the manual thoroughly before starting.
Improper Electrical Connections:
Incorrect wiring can lead to electrical shock or damage to the appliance. Ensure you understand the voltage and wiring requirements. (Our minor electrical services can assist with some appliance connections.)
Incorrect Plumbing Connections:
Improperly connected water lines for dishwashers or refrigerators can lead to leaks and water damage.
Not Leveling the Appliance:
Uneven appliances can cause noise, vibration, and improper operation.
Forcing Connections:
If connections don't fit easily, forcing them can damage the appliance or the connections.
Ignoring Ventilation Requirements:
Some appliances, like dryers and microwaves, require proper ventilation to operate safely and efficiently.
