Laura A. says, "German has been amazing to work with! He is very easy to work with, his work quality is exceptional, and he takes care of you. Easy to work with - Sometimes it can be difficult to find a contractor to work with who listens to you and really hears your concerns and questions without judgement. German is sometime who listens to you, no question is silly, and has always made me feel like my questions are valid and that he is perfectly happy talking to me (instead of my husband, for example). Work quality is exceptional - We have had German re-tile and fix our main bathroom, refinish an area under the stairs, and install a subfloor, paint, finish, and install kitchen cabinets. I never hesitate to call/text German and ask him if he can help with our various projects, and he is incredibly good. The work looks fantastic and I'm so happy with it. He takes care of you - In every project there are plot twists and unexpected challenges. Everytime one comes up, German fixes the issue the "good" way, doesn't cut corners at all, and takes the time to fix it for the long term solution. For example, in retiling the bathroom floor we discovered that under the tile was self-leveling concrete--upstairs! He could have left it there (it was a lot of labor and work to remove) but he took it out and made sure the subfloor was correctly prepped for tile. It was a lot of work that you can't see from the outside, but was crucial for the longevity of the bathroom and to access piping in the future. I highly, highly recommend German for whatever need you have in the house. I am so glad to have met him and to know that he is someone that I implicitly trust."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.
