Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We begin by discussing your specific requirements and assessing the space where the washing machine will be installed. This includes checking the dimensions of the area, accessibility to power and water supplies, and ensuring that there’s proper ventilation.
Our team will visit your home or business to assess the installation space. We’ll check if the current plumbing setup is suitable or if any modifications are required.
Preparation of Water Supply and Drainage
The next step is to prepare the necessary plumbing for washing machines, which includes ensuring the water supply lines are in the correct position and that the waste pipe fitting can adequately handle drainage. If adjustments are needed, such as extending water pipes or adjusting drainage, we handle it efficiently.
We ensure that both hot and cold water supply lines are properly connected and that the waste drainage system is ready for smooth operation, avoiding future leaks or water damage.
Electrical Connection
Ensuring that the electrical outlet is safely accessible and properly earthed is a crucial part of the installation. We check the power source to ensure it meets safety standards and that the washing machine can be easily plugged in without any extension cords, minimising the risks of overheating or electrical faults.
We check your power supply and ensure a safe and efficient connection of the washing machine to the mains, verifying that all wiring meets local safety regulations.
Positioning and Levelling the Machine
Once the plumbing and electrical connections are in place, we position the washing machine correctly. This step involves levelling the appliance to ensure optimal performance and to prevent any excessive vibration or movement during operation.
We ensure that the washing machine is placed evenly on the floor and is properly levelled to prevent future issues such as noisy operation or imbalance during spin cycles.
Connection to Water Supply and Drain
We securely connect the washing machine to the water supply and drain plumbing. This involves attaching the inlet hoses to the water valves and ensuring the drainage hose is properly connected to the waste outlet, following all plumbing regulations to prevent backflow or flooding.
Our team makes sure that all water supply and drainage connections are securely fitted to prevent leaks and ensure efficient water flow during washing cycles.
Testing the Installation
Before we leave, we conduct a thorough test of the washing machine to ensure everything is working correctly. This includes running a short wash cycle to check for any leaks in the water supply, drainage issues, or electrical faults.
We perform a test cycle to verify that the washing machine functions perfectly and that all connections are leak-free, ensuring you’re left with a fully operational appliance.
Customer Walkthrough and Aftercare Advice
Finally, we provide you with a complete walkthrough of the installation and offer advice on maintaining your washing machine. This includes tips on using the appliance efficiently and keeping the plumbing and filters clean to prolong the lifespan of your washing machine.
Once installation is complete, we offer a detailed guide on using your new washing machine, along with maintenance advice to keep it running smoothly for years to come.
