No matter the appliance, proper installation is important in maintaining both the longevity of the appliance and the integrity of the place where it has been installed. In today’s blog we will be looking at the importance of proper installation in avoiding costly repairs.
While many homeowners think that they can install any appliances themselves, appliance installation can be a trickier affair than it appears and can have many dire consequences if mistakes are made. Mistakes caused by improper water, gas or electrical connections can lead to injury or damage to the area where the appliance has been installed.
Poor electrical connections can lead to fires or electrocution, poor water connections can result in flooding and damage to your home and improper gas connections can lead to dangerous air quality issues that are best avoided. While these are the big, scary consequences of improper installation there are smaller issues that can also lead to costly repairs.
If the appliance is not properly placed in its housing, with all necessary fasteners in place, the vibrations of the appliance’s operation could cause damage to both the immediate area surrounding the appliance as well as the appliance itself. Poorly installed appliances may also void their warranty coverage, leaving the appliances owner on the hook for costly repairs or a costly replacement should something go wrong with the appliance. Proper appliance installation will also extend the longevity of your appliances by preventing damage and ensuring efficient operation, making sure that you are getting the best value out of your appliances.
