Tyra H. says, "Sebastian responded quickly and professionally to my inquiry to install my new HVAC system. He was able to come out the next day and give a free quote. He was polite, courteous and very knowledgeable. I had another company come out and give a quote, but I decided to go with Sebastian because it was apparent that they were not as experienced with my system (and their quote was higher). On the day of the installation, Sebastian and Freddy went about their work having to go in and out of the house and in the backyard, but the whole time they were respectable. They left the furnace area cleaner than it was before they came. And, they noticed that my thermostat was loose, and they fastened it on the wall more securely. And of course, the air conditioner and my heater works just fine. I would definitely hire them again and I highly recommend them."See more

Jeff O. says, "I would highly recommend Bruno to install your next appliance. He quoted fair prices upfront for appliance installation and also for hauling out the old ones. He communication was responsive via the Thumbtack app and text, and he referred back to it to confirm the agreed upon price. He was prompt, arriving earlier than he promised, and he waited outside in his truck. He worked quickly to install our over-range microwave and dishwasher. He explained what he was doing along the way, and when options came up, he asked if I had a preference on how he should proceed. Twice during the installation of our new dishwasher, he had to fabricate parts that did not come with our display model in order to complete the job. While testing for operation and leaks, he discovered that water was being forced out the air gap onto the counter by the stronger pump in our new dishwasher. Rather than just leave it, he offered to check if it might be a problem with our disposal or something else. He found the discharge hose was blocked and spent a few minutes clearing it out, explaining that cleaning it regularly was a normal part of routine maintenance. In addition, he hauled away an old freezer, a washer, and a dryer also for a reasonable price."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What size air conditioner do I need?

Your air conditioner should have about 20 BTU per square foot of living space, according to Consumer Reports. However, you should also account for other factors in the room. 

If it’s a very shady space, you can take off 10% of the square footage BTU calculation. If it’s sunny, add 10%. For rooms normally occupied by two or more people, you should add 600 BTU per additional person. Finally, if the room is a kitchen, add 4,000 BTU to your calculated square footage total.

Talk to an air conditioning company or HVAC professional to find out what size you should get.

What does SEER mean on an air conditioner?

The SEER label on an air conditioner stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This is a measure of the efficiency of either an air conditioning unit or a heat pump. 

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends replacing older AC units with energy-efficient models. Contact an air conditioning company or HVAC specialist for tips on how to select a new unit.

What types of appliances can a professional install?

There are a number of different appliances that professionals can install for you, including:

  • Washers and dryers. These machines are heavy and very sensitive to being level and balanced, and also require hookups to water, electricity and sometimes gas or propane.
  • Cooking ranges. Your range may use propane or gas, which is a hookup job best left to the pros.
  • Microwaves. You may want to have your microwave be an undermount or in-mounted unit, which a pro can install and make it look seamless.
  • Refrigerators. These are heavy and often require a water hookup.
  • And more!

Reach out to an appliance installation service, and find out if they can install your appliance. Often, it’s helpful to provide the brand and model of the appliance you’re trying to set up.

What are the advantages of hiring an appliance installer?

There are several perks to having a professional install your appliances, including:

  • Hiring a pro saves you time and money. If it breaks down, the service person who sold and installed the machine can fulfill its warranty. However, this warranty could be void if you install it incorrectly.
  • It will work reliably. Many appliances like ranges and laundry machines rely on being on level surfaces as well as having potentially dangerous hookups installed correctly. 
  • You can get repair and maintenance support. If something isn’t working or you want advice, you can call up your installer and ask if they can help you troubleshoot or repair it.

How much does it cost to install appliances?

Installing a new appliance costs $125, on average. However, homeowners should expect to pay within the range of $120 to $150. 

For less complex appliance installations, you may pay a low-end cost ranging between $65 and $100. On the other hand, more complex appliances like laundry machines, ranges and other items can cost between $175 and $326 to install. Ask whichever appliance installation service you hire to give you a price quote, if possible.

Should you tip appliance installers?

You can tip appliance installers if you feel their service has gone above and beyond. A standard tip is between $10 and $20. 

Reasons you might consider tipping include a very pleasant customer service demeanor, having to carry a heavy appliance up or down the stairs, working in inclement weather, taking care not to make a mess and other acts of care and consideration. You are not obligated to leave a tip — but one is always appreciated.
