As convenient as having a dishwasher in your home is, you may wonder if you can install one yourself or if you need the help of a professional. This decision depends on your abilities and the possible consequences of not knowing what you are doing. If you are unsure, it’s probably best to pay someone to install it for you. Doing it on your own might risk damaging your dishwasher, or even worse, major water damage in your home.
Advantages of having your dishwasher installed by a professional
When you get your dishwasher installed professionally, it guarantees the appliance is properly functioning from the start. Additionally, when hiring a plumber for the job it ensures proper setup.
Safer: Moving a dishwasher can cause serious damage to your floors and walls. If you are replacing an old dishwasher with a new one you could run into issues where the wiring or plumbing isn’t compatible.
Less stressful: Installing a dishwasher could take a long time, and if you don’t have the experience, there are many issues that could arise that are hard to predict. This is one of the main reasons why most homeowners get someone to install the dishwasher for them.
Easy Disposal: Having a plumber haul away your old appliance eliminates the need to travel to the dump.
The dishwasher connects to both the drain and a water source and it requires special attention from a plumber. After a plumber performs maintenance on your dishwasher, the kitchen sink should work as expected. Someone handy with repairs could install this appliance instead of calling a professional plumbing company as long as you are fully aware of the risks. For your peace of mind and to avoid future hazards or repairs, have an experienced professional install your dishwasher.
