Our 5-Step Refrigerator Setup Process
A Strategic Plan for Your Kitchen
We have developed a detailed, strategic process to ensure your refrigerator setup is as organized and seamless as possible, minimizing the risk of damage or an unsecure setup.
- Step 1: Consultation & Assessment: The process begins with a quick consultation. You provide us with details about the type of refrigerator you have and the location of the installation. This allows us to come prepared with the right tools, hardware, and a strategic plan.
- Step 2: On-Site Preparation & Unpacking: Our team arrives on time and prepares the area. We carefully unpack the appliance, remove all shipping materials, and place protective padding on your floors. We will also ensure the space has the correct dimensions for proper ventilation.
- Step 3: Meticulous Installation & Leveling: We use the right tools to meticulously and carefully install your appliance. We will connect all water lines and hoses, ensuring there are no leaks. We will also use a level to ensure the appliance is perfectly balanced, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the doors and cooling system.
- Step 4: Secure Connections: We ensure all connections are secure. For refrigerators with water dispensers, we will connect the water line and check for any leaks. We will then plug the refrigerator into its dedicated outlet, avoiding the use of extension cords.
- Step 5: Final Check & Cleanup:
We perform a final check to ensure all connections are secure and that the appliance is working correctly. We will advise you to let the refrigerator sit for a few hours before plugging it in, to allow the cooling chemicals to settle. We then clean up all debris and empty boxes, leaving your space in pristine condition.
