Washer and Dryer Hookup Installation

Let Our Electricians Install Washer and Dryer Outlets 

If you’ve moved into a new home or are upgrading your washer and dryer, your appliances might not be compatible with your outlets.

Whatever the case may be, Service Experts offers professional washer and dryer hookup installation services to ensure your laundry can get done easily—and safely! 

Our licensed, insured, and bonded electricians bring the expertise and precision needed for this type of job. Backed by our Service Experts Guarantee and local codes, we’ll ensure your new appliances are properly connected and ready for use.

What Are the Different Types of Dryer Outlets?

Installing the correct electrical outlet for your dryer is more complex than it seems, and the wrong setup can be dangerous. Modern dryers need specific connections that differ from standard outlets, making it important to understand these requirements for safe use.

The type of outlet your dryer needs depends on your home's age and current electrical setup:

  • 3-Prong Outlets: Common in homes built before the mid-1990s, these outlets combine neutral and ground wires into a single connection, which can create safety risks if electrical issues arise.
  • 4-Prong Outlets: Required by current electrical codes, these outlets provide separate neutral and ground wires for enhanced safety and reduced risk of electrical shock.

The complexity of these electrical requirements and the potential safety risks make this work best suited for licensed professionals rather than DIY attempts. Let our experts handle the installation of a 4-prong outlet to get your laundry room up and running!

Are Dryer Plug Adapters Safe?

Dryer plug adapters may seem like an easy fix when your new appliance doesn’t match your outlet, but they can cause overheating or electrical fires. They also lack proper grounding, which could charge the dryer’s metal parts and create a shock hazard.

Changing your dryer’s cord to match the outlet is another option, but older electrical systems might not have the proper wiring or protection for safe operation. The safest solution is to have a licensed professional install a permanent hookup that meets current safety standards.

FAQs We’ve Got Answers to Your Electrical Services Questions
  • Efficiency can be improved by using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, adding insulation to walls and attics, and sealing air leaks.

  • Signs of electrical service issues include flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, hot or discolored electrical outlets or switches, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, and burning smells. Another issue is improper outlets in the kitchen or bathroom – which should be GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets. This is a shock-resistant outlet that acts as a safety measure and helps prevent fire hazards since water is a great conductor of electricity.

  • It is recommended that electrical service be inspected at least every 10 years to ensure that it is safe and up to code.

  • Some safety precautions include turning off the power supply before working on any electrical component, using insulated tools, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following electrical codes and regulations.

  • A licensed electrician can perform an electrical load calculation to determine the right size of service needed for a home or business. This calculation takes into account the electrical needs of appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices.
