Buying a new appliance should feel exciting—not stressful. But for many homeowners, what should be a simple upgrade turns into a frustrating experience filled with unexpected fees, damaged goods, or incomplete installations.
At Mardeys Appliances, we believe your journey shouldn’t end at checkout. Whether you’re buying a discounted refrigerator, an open box washer, or a luxury gas range, our team ensures that your appliance delivery and installation are smooth, safe, and totally hassle-free.
This guide walks you through the most common appliance delivery problems—and how Mardeys helps you avoid them all.
✅ What Appliance Delivery Really Includes (and What It Doesn’t)
Most stores say “delivery included,” but here’s the catch: included delivery usually just means the appliance shows up at your doorstep. That’s it. No setup, no hookup, no testing.
Standard delivery usually includes:
- Transporting the appliance to your home
- Unboxing and placing it inside
- A basic inspection for visible damages
- Removing packaging
🚫 But don’t expect installation, utility hookups, or haul-away—unless you read the fine print or pay extra.
At Mardeys, we don’t leave you guessing. We tell you exactly what to expect and offer full-service setup at transparent rates.
⚙️ What a Proper Appliance Setup Includes
Getting your appliance delivered is only half the battle. A professional setup ensures your appliance runs efficiently and safely from Day One.
Mardeys setup services include:
- Safe connection to gas, water, or electrical lines
- Precise leveling to prevent issues and vibrations
- Initial testing to ensure functionality
- Optional old appliance removal
We treat every delivery like we’re setting it up in our own home—carefully, thoroughly, and professionally.
📏 Why Measuring Your Space Is Critical
Don’t make the rookie mistake of skipping measurements. We’ve seen beautiful new fridges stuck in hallways or washers that won’t fit through staircases.
Before you order, measure:
- Doorways, hallways, staircases
- Elevators (if you’re in an apartment)
- Final installation space (with clearance)
- Ventilation space, especially for dryers and refrigerators
💡 Pro Tip: Measure twice, order once!
🏡 Prepare Your Home Before Delivery Day
A little preparation can prevent a lot of stress.
Use this quick checklist:
- Clear rugs, furniture, and fragile items from the delivery path
- Keep kids and pets away from the work area
- Lay down cardboard or blankets to protect your floors
- Double-check utility hookups (gas, water, electric)
🔌 Be Ready for Utility Hookups
Each appliance has specific power and plumbing needs.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
💧 Water Lines (for washers, dishwashers, fridges):
- Test shut-off valves
- Look for leaks or corrosion
- Consider hiring a plumber if needed
🔥 Gas Lines (for stoves, dryers):
- Never DIY—use a certified technician
- Ensure proper ventilation
- Check local regulations
⚡ Electrical (for ovens, dryers, fridges):
- Know if you need 110V or 220V
- Match your outlet to your appliance
- Get an electrician for upgrades if needed
♻️ Plan Ahead for Appliance Removal
Not all delivery services include hauling away your old appliance. At Mardeys, we offer affordable removal services, but always confirm ahead of time.
To prepare:
- Unplug or disconnect old units in advance
- Make sure your appliance qualifies for haul-away
- Ask if there are size or type restrictions
🧰 Don’t Forget the Accessories!
Some appliances require extra parts that aren’t always included in the box.
Common add-ons:
- Refrigerators → Water line kits
- Washers → Hoses and drain tubes
- Dryers → Power cords and vent kits
- Dishwashers → Mounting brackets and drain hoses
✅ We always tell you upfront if additional parts are needed—no last-minute surprises.
🗓️ Plan for Delivery Timing and Expectations
Retailers often give you a 2–4-hour window for delivery. Miss it, and you might face delays or fees.
Here’s what to do:
- Make sure someone 18+ is present
- Inspect the appliance for damage before signing
- Take photos immediately if anything looks off
- Report issues right away
At Mardeys, we keep things simple with flexible scheduling, live tracking, and proactive communication.
🔧 DIY Installation? Think Twice
Installing your appliance yourself may seem like a good way to save money—but it can void warranties and create dangerous situations.
DIY risks include:
- Incorrect setup or hookups
- Voided manufacturer warranties
- Gas, water, or fire hazards
- Long-term damage to the appliance
Our licensed pros handle every detail—safely, legally, and warranty-approved.

🧼 Pro Tips for Specific Appliance Setups
- Let them stand upright 4–6 hours before plugging in
- Don’t load with food for 24 hours
- Check water line connections
- Level properly to prevent movement
- Connect hot and cold lines to the right valves
- Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
- Clean out old lint in the vent
- Use rigid metal ducts (not foil)
- Check gas units for leaks
- Confirm dedicated power and drain line
