Step 1: Delivery & safety check

Our installation team will deliver your new tumble dryer to your room of choice, unbox it and conduct a pre-install safety check.

Step 2: Vent or drainpipe connection

Depending on what type of dryer you have bought, our team will connect the vent hose or the drainpipe to a suitable outlet.

Step 3: Positioning & levelling

After this, our team will place your new dryer where you would like it before levelling it to make sure it’s secure.

Please note: If your tumble dryer is being stacked, we can only install it on top of a washing machine using a suitable stacking kit or onto a secure shelf.

Step 4: Power connection & testing

We’ll then plug in your new tumble dryer to a socket and test that it is working.

Please note: We will conduct a basic polarity and earth loop test on the supply to ensure it is safe and suitable.

Step 5: Product demonstration

After it’s set up and working, your installation team will show you how to use it. This includes showing how to select a cycle, empty the condenser drawer and the location of filters.

Step 6: Clean-up & packaging removal

Once you’re happy, we’ll clear up any packaging and take this away with us, leaving you to enjoy your new tumble dryer.

How to ensure a smooth installation

We know you want your installation to be as simple as possible. To ensure this we just need you to be aware of a few things before you book an installation with us:

Use a suitable electrical outlet

We can’t connect your new tumble dryer to an extension cable. We can only connect to a 13amp electrical outlet.

Check your vent point

Please be aware that if you have selected a vented tumble dryer, we won’t be able to drill through walls to create a vent point.

Consider your flooring

If you plan to install your tumble dryer on carpeted floor, please note that some manufacturers do not permit dryers to be installed here.

Allow heat pump dryers to settle

Some heat pump units might need to settle before they are used. In this case we will be unable to demonstrate them following the installation.

Stacking kits

If your tumble dryer is being stacked, we can only install it directly on top of a washing machine using a suitable stacking kit or onto a secure shelf.

Check the room temperature

Most heat pump tumble dryers require a minimum ambient temperature of 5°C. Please consider this when choosing where to put your appliance and contact us in advance if you have any concerns.
