3 Reasons You Should Hire A Professional To Install Your Dishwasher

Installing a dishwasher might seem straightforward if you’ve never done it before — just attach a couple of hoses and slide it into place, right? It’s never that simple. Never.

Replacing a dishwasher is easier than a new installation, but unless the new dishwasher is exactly the same size as the old one, adjustments will be necessary. It’s great when the drain hose and water supply hose match the threading and size of the new dishwasher, but that doesn’t always happen. Will you know what to do? The electrical wires can generally be moved over—electrical? Yes, installing a dishwasher requires you to hook up water and electricity, so you better have a voltmeter handy.

For a new dishwasher installation, you’ll need serious handyman skills because the area under your counter will have to be properly roughed out and prepped. Plumbing and wiring will need to be run to this area.

Instead of telling you how to do it, we want to give you three reasons why you should contact Handyside to install your new dishwasher.

1. To be sure your dishwasher is working properly

Many homeowners, even DIY enthusiasts, lack the experience or know-how to ensure a leak-free dishwasher installation. If the water supply or drain connections are not properly threaded and sealed, your dishwasher might seem to be working fine while causing a slow, hidden leak that can turn into a much bigger problem over time. Additionally, your dishwasher may underperform if the unit detects an issue with water pressure. The best way to ensure your dishwasher works as designed is to have it installed by Handyside.

2. You want your dishwasher to look great in your kitchen

Installing a dishwasher requires a lot of maneuvering and sometimes cabinet adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. You’re spending a lot of money on this new appliance, and we’re sure you want it to look great in your kitchen. Experienced installers from your home services company will know what needs to be done to install it quickly and efficiently. They’ll also clean up any mess afterward, leaving your kitchen looking its best.

3. Avoid insurance problems

Any water damage or electrical problems resulting from an improper dishwasher installation are likely to cost you significantly. It’s unlikely that your homeowner’s insurance will cover the damage or replace the dishwasher. Your insurance provider may argue negligence on your part for failing to properly install the dishwasher or hire our Handyside professionals to do so.

Summary

You can find articles online like “How to Replace a Dishwasher in Three Easy Steps,” but most installations are not that simple. We recommend getting it done right by having our Handyside professionals install your new dishwasher.
