Washer & Dryer Installation in Somerset, NJ

Washers rely on accurate hot and cold water hookups. Star Contractors checks shut-off valves, installs fresh supply hoses when needed, and confirms that water pressure and temperature settings meet the appliance’s requirements. This setup helps prevent leaks and ensures consistent performance during wash cycles.

Improper drainage can cause water backup or overflow. Our technicians secure the drain hose, adjust its height, and make sure it sits correctly within the standpipe or sink drain. This alignment supports smooth water flow and prevents unexpected flooding.

Modern washers spin at high speeds, and a level surface is essential for balanced operation. Star Contractors adjusts each leg of the washer, checks stability, and ensures the unit rests firmly on the floor, reducing noise and vibration that could disrupt the household.

Many Somerset homes have washer hookups in basements, closets, or narrow utility rooms. Star Contractors navigates tight placement challenges by adjusting appliance positioning and ensuring all connections remain accessible.

Electric dryers require dedicated outlets and proper voltage. Star Contractors confirms that the existing electrical setup meets appliance specifications and connects the dryer securely. We also position the unit to prevent strain on the power cord and allow for smooth airflow.

Gas dryers require precise gas line connection, pressure checks, and leak testing. Star Contractors follows safety standards and New Jersey codes to ensure the installation is secure. We verify the integrity of existing gas fittings and position the dryer in a way that prevents accidental hose movement.

Dryer venting is essential for removing heat and moisture during each cycle. Star Contractors installs or upgrades vent lines, removes old or damaged ducts, and checks for obstructions that could restrict airflow. Proper venting reduces drying times and prevents moisture buildup inside the home.

Dryers must sit level to ensure safe drum operation. Star Contractors adjusts the appliance and checks that it has adequate clearance from walls or surrounding structures. This spacing prevents overheating and makes routine maintenance easier.

We install manufacturer-approved stacking brackets to stabilize the dryer above the washer. Proper installation prevents shifting, shaking, or accidental movement during operation.

Compact laundry centers and all-in-one washer-dryer units offer efficient space use but require careful placement. Star Contractors ensures that hookups remain accessible and that ventilation paths are clear for proper drying performance.

For laundry closets or alcoves, our team measures clearances, aligns connections, and positions the appliances so the doors open freely and maintenance tasks remain manageable.

Before installation, our team inspects shut-off valves and makes sure they operate properly. Older Somerset homes may require valve tightening or replacement to support modern washer performance.

Our technicians confirm outlet compatibility, circuit readiness, and grounding for electric dryers. For gas dryers, we inspect gas lines, fittings, and connections to ensure the system is secure and properly sealed.

After placing and securing the appliances, Star Contractors conducts final checks for balance, airflow, drainage, and water flow. These steps ensure that each unit is fully ready for daily operation.
