Why Big Box Store Installations Often Fall Short and How G.T. Campbell Plumbing Can Help

Big box stores often run deals on large appliances. Dishwashers, refrigerators, and even ovens get sold at ridiculously low prices. Sometimes, the big box stores will even throw in an enticing “free installation with purchase.” So, it’s only natural to think you’re getting a great deal.

But what if we told you that we’ve spoken to our fair share of homeowners who’ve said these installations are often left half done—or not done at all!

Today, let’s discuss why that happens so you can be prepared. We’ll also talk about how G.T. Campbell Plumbing can step in to help.

The Big Box Store Installation Dilemma

How many times have you felt drawn in by a super good sale at a big box store? Besides that, appliances sold through big-box stores are often cheap to begin with. But the old phrase “if it’s too good to be true, then it probably is” should be heeded with any big-box appliance that promises installation, even when you pay for the service.

That’s because when installers run into issues like:

• The shut-off valve is in the wrong place or not easily accessible.

• Incorrect water connections or incompatible plumbing.

• The installer simply lacks the necessary tools and experience to make the required adjustments.

You might be left with an appliance that has been delivered but not connected. You could also be out the fee you paid to have it installed in the first place, or have to go through the headache of getting it refunded.

What Happens When Installation Isn’t Fully Completed?

The consequences of an incomplete or poorly executed installation can be both frustrating and costly. For example, your new dishwasher or fridge may not be connected to the water line properly. Alternatively, the connections might be loose, causing leaks. Either scenario can lead to water damage, additional repairs, and time lost waiting for someone to come and complete the job.

In other cases, a gas line valve is in the wrong location, preventing a gas stovetop from being correctly installed.

That said, many homeowners lack the time, tools, and knowledge to do the installation themselves. That’s why they hired it done in the first place! So, what to do if this happens to you?

Many homeowners don’t realize that they can call a professional plumber to help with new appliance installations.
