Washer and Dryer Installation

Washer and Dryer Installation in Colorado Springs

Laundry Set Up Right, Gas or Electric

New washer and dryer on the way? Hawaiian Xpress installs washers and dryers across Colorado Springs. We hook up the water and drain, connect the dryer vent, connect gas or electric dryers safely, level both machines, and run them before we leave.

Laundry installs look simple, but the details matter: a crushed dryer vent wastes energy and is a fire risk, a gas connection has to be leak-checked, and a washer that isn't level will walk across the floor on the spin cycle.

What Every Install Includes

  • Removal: We disconnect your old washer and dryer and haul them away.
  • Washer hookup: We connect the hot and cold water hoses and set the drain hose securely in the standpipe or sink.
  • Dryer vent: We connect the dryer to the wall vent with metal duct, not foil or plastic, and keep it from kinking behind the machine.
  • Gas or power: We connect gas dryers to the gas line and leak-check the connection, or fit the right cord for electric dryers.
  • Level and test: We level both machines and run them to check for leaks, vibration, and heat.

Gas or Electric Dryers

Gas dryers connect to the gas line with an approved flexible connector, and we check every fitting for leaks before we leave. See our gas appliance installation page for more on gas safety.

Electric dryers run on a 240-volt outlet. Many new dryers come without a power cord, and older homes may have a 3-prong outlet while newer ones use 4-prong. We make sure the cord matches your outlet.

Washer and Dryer Installation FAQ

Can you install a washer and dryer I bought myself?
Yes. Most of our installs are machines customers bought from a store or online. Have them delivered to the laundry room before your appointment if you can.
Can you stack my washer and dryer?
If your models are made to stack, yes. Stacking needs the stacking kit made for your brand, which is usually sold separately.
Why does the dryer vent matter so much?
A crushed or plastic vent traps lint and heat. That makes drying slow and is a leading cause of dryer fires. Codes call for metal duct for this reason.
How long does a washer and dryer installation take?
Installing a pair in the same spot usually takes one to two hours.

Other Appliances Too

We install dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges, and more. See everything on our appliance installation page.
