Small Appliance Install in Garland, Rowlett and Rockwall, TX

Stores do not always offer installation for smaller appliances, and when they do, the wait can be long. If the unit simply plugs into an outlet you already have, a handyman can usually handle it in one visit.

We remove the old unit, set or mount the new one to the manufacturer's instructions, level it, plug it in, and test it. That covers beverage and wine fridges, mini fridges, compact freezers, and under-cabinet units that need mounting brackets. Anything with a water line, drain, gas line, or hardwired connection needs a licensed trade, and we will say so up front.

What affects the cost

Freestanding or mounted. Setting a freestanding unit is quick. Mounting under a cabinet takes more time.
Cabinet changes. If an opening has to be trimmed to fit, that adds time and is quoted separately.
Removal of the old unit. Moving the old unit to the curb is included in most quotes; full disposal is separate.
Stairs and distance. Heavy units carried up stairs or across long distances take a second set of hands.

How to prepare

Send the model number of the new appliance.
Photograph where it will go, including the outlet it will plug into.
Have the new appliance on site, in its box.
Empty and defrost the old unit the day before if it is being replaced.
Clear the counter or cabinet around the install spot.
Measure the opening and compare it to the new unit's specs.

What is not included

Hardwired appliances, garbage disposals, dishwashers, and anything with a water or drain connection
Ice makers and refrigerator water lines
Gas line connections of any kind
New circuits, new outlets, or any wiring
Appliance repair or refrigerant work

Licensed trades. We do not do electrical or plumbing work that requires a licensed trade. If part of your job needs an electrician or plumber, we tell you up front.

Texas and DFW notes

Garage fridges in Texas heat

Many refrigerators and freezers are rated for a limited room-temperature range, and North Texas garages can run well above that in summer. Check the manual before putting a fridge or freezer in the garage, or look for a garage-ready model.

Common questions

Can you install a dishwasher or disposal?

No. Those need plumbing and electrical connections, and we do not do work that requires a licensed trade. We handle plug-in units on existing outlets.

Can you hook up a refrigerator water line or ice maker?

No. Water line connections are plumbing work. We can set and level the fridge once a plumber has done the water line.

Do you take the old appliance away?

We can move it to your curb or garage. For full disposal, our sister company Round the Clock Junk can haul it.

What if there is no outlet where I want the appliance?

Then you need an electrician for a new outlet first. We can do the install after.

Can you install a full-size range or wall oven?

No. Ranges and wall ovens are hardwired or use gas, so they need a licensed trade.
