Professional Washer and Dryer Installation for Somerset Homes

Star Contractors provides reliable washer and dryer installation services in Somerset, NJ, offering precise setup and secure connections for both electric and gas laundry appliances. Laundry rooms in Somerset vary widely, from spacious utility areas to compact closet-style setups, and each requires careful attention to ensure appliances operate safely and efficiently. Our team installs new units, replaces outdated equipment, and prepares laundry spaces to support the needs of modern washers and dryers.



Proper installation protects the appliance, the surrounding structure, and the home’s plumbing and electrical systems. Misaligned units, incorrect venting, or unsecure hose connections can lead to leaks, vibration issues, or reduced performance. Star Contractors focuses on creating a stable and safe installation environment so the appliance runs smoothly from the moment it is turned on.

Complete Washer Installation Services

Washers require a combination of plumbing, electrical, and leveling work to perform effectively. Star Contractors installs top-load, front-load, compact, and high-efficiency washers throughout Somerset, ensuring that each unit connects properly to existing water supply lines and drainage systems.

  • Water Line and Hose Connections

    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.

  • Drainage Alignment and Stability

    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.

  • Leveling and Vibration Reduction

    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.

  • Placement for Tight Laundry Areas

    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.

Full Dryer Installation, Venting, and Setup

Dryers must be installed carefully to ensure safe operation and proper airflow. Star Contractors installs electric dryers, gas dryers, and stacked dryer units across Somerset. Each installation is completed with a focus on venting, clearance, and operational safety.

  • Electric Dryer Installation

    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 Dryer Installation

    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 Vent Installation and Airflow Optimization

    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.

  • Leveling and Proper Clearance

    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.

Installation for Stacked Units and Laundry Centers

Stacked washers and dryers are common in homes with limited space, especially in smaller Somerset properties. These installations require precise alignment and secure mounting to ensure the safety and functionality of the combined units.

  • Stacking Bracket Installation

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

  • Compact and All-in-One Unit Setup

    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.

  • Closet and Niche Laundry Installation

    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.

Safe Hookups, Code Compliance, and System Checks

Laundry appliance installation requires the coordination of plumbing, electricity, and ventilation. Star Contractors checks each system thoroughly to ensure that the installation is safe and compliant.

  • Water Shut-Off and Valve Assessment

    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.

  • Electrical and Gas Safety Checks

    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.

  • Post-Installation Performance Checks

    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.

Washer and Dryer Replacement and Upgrades

Many Somerset residents replace older laundry appliances during remodels, energy upgrades, or when existing units no longer function properly. Star Contractors handles both removal and replacement installations.

  • Removal of Existing Laundry Appliances

    Our team disconnects hoses, vents, and electrical or gas connections safely before removing the old units from the home.

  • Replacement Installation for Modern Units

    New washers and dryers often require updated connections or adjustments to fit properly into older laundry spaces. Star Contractors prepares the area, aligns the appliances, and ensures everything meets current performance standards.

  • Preparation for Future Maintenance

    We position units so that future cleaning, filter changes, hose replacements, or vent cleaning can be completed with ease, supporting long-term reliability.
