Appliance pickup starts with knowing what the unit is and whether it is ready to move. Include the appliance type, approximate dimensions, and its current location in your request.
Details for each appliance
- Refrigerators and freezers: size, location, and whether contents remain.
- Washers and dryers: separate units or a stacked set.
- Ranges and dishwashers: freestanding or built in, and connection status.
- Other large appliances: type, condition, and any known damage.
Connections and access matter
Leave connected appliances in place until a qualified professional has handled any required disconnection. Removal and installation are separate tasks; confirm what is included before making arrangements.
Mention stairs, narrow kitchen doors, elevator dimensions, and building access requirements. If a unit is already disconnected, say so. Describe any leaks, unusual odors, or damaged components before anyone attempts to move it.
Before you arrange pickup
Can a built-in appliance be collected?
Explain how it is fitted and whether it has been disconnected and released from cabinetry. Confirm preparation requirements with the provider before booking.
Is installation of a replacement included?
Do not assume that removal includes installation or connection of a new unit. Ask about each task separately.
What happens to the appliance afterward?
Ask where the unit will go and whether reuse, recycling, or special handling is part of the pickup.
