Like many local Seattle appliance stores, we at Albert Lee work hard to provide a one-of-a-kind experience that takes the pressure out of appliance shopping. But only Albert Lee can claim to be the oldest independent appliance dealer in Washington, and that means we’ve seen just about every scenario. We’ve had a lot of time to consider the needs of our buyers, which is why when we’re asked, “do you do appliance installation near me,” we’re proud to say that the service is also provided by our team.

Follow along as we answer how you can benefit from our appliance installation, plus a look at DIY appliance installs versus professional installs, including the problems and roadblocks that often go unseen.

Ways You Save with Appliance Installation

Why Trust Us?

For Albert Lee Appliance, Seattle is home, and that means our shoppers are our neighbors, friends, and family. We strive to provide quality services for our clients and have been a premier destination for home goods even before searching “appliance installation services near me” was a thing. 

Here are five reasons why you should consider Albert Lee's professional appliance installation for your next purchase.

Reasons You Should Have Your Refrigerator Installed Professionally

Did you know that refrigerators need a specific amount of clearance around all sides for proper ventilation? Did you also know installing a refrigerator without regarding a manufacturer’s recommended clearance decreases the unit’s performance, potentially raising your utility bill and cutting the lifespan of your new fridge short? And while refrigerator models like freestanding top freezer fridges are relatively simple to install, the last thing you want to do is risk damage to your new appliance and home or an injury to yourself by hauling a heavy refrigerator through your home.

At Albert Lee, we’ve seen and installed it all, so you know you’re in the hands of the pros. Not sure how to connect your home’s water line to your new fridge’s ice maker? Leave it to us! We’ll get you synched and ready to enjoy pure, refreshing ice and water as soon as today. Wondering which ways to use a certain fridge feature? We conduct factory testing as part of our appliance installation services, and we’re glad to help you learn how to use your new appliance.

Enlisting in our professional refrigerator installation also ensures you get the proper fit if your new appliance is counter-depth or built-in with a custom panel overlay. We mount, level, and secure every installation to the highest standards for a picture-perfect presentation.

Reasons You Should Have Your Dishwasher Installed Professionally

Dishwashers can be deceiving. Behind a simple door lies a series of spray arms, tubes, and power connections — and they’re not always easy (or safe) to access by the regular homeowner. What’s more, dishwashers are direct lines to sewage drains, and without professional dishwasher installation, foul odors can contaminate your kitchen, including the areas you use to prepare food.

We say skip the “How to install a dishwasher” tutorial you saw online and search “Albert Lee dishwasher installation near me” to have one of our experts in your neighborhood do the job for you. Our trained appliance specialists make the swap easy and efficient and tailor each setup according to your home’s specific connections. No leaky mistakes. No suspicious smells from the dishwasher. No mysterious sounds every time you run a cycle. Just a beautiful, new dishwasher that handles after-dinner clean ups each and every night.

Reasons You Should Have Your Range Installed Professionally

For many households, a range is the epicenter of the kitchen. It’s where meals are made and a reason to bring the family together. But all that magic has to make it into the kitchen somehow, so unless you have a truck and a team to haul away your old range and install a new one, you’re better off saving your energy for more important jobs around the house (like finding a new recipe to try out on your new stove).

Next to refrigerators, ranges are the bulkiest kitchen appliance, and without proper transportation in and out of your home, you risk damage to your floors, walls, and even self-injury. Get yourself a reputable team with the help of Albert Lee’s appliance installation. From the warehouse to your kitchen, our technicians will care for your new range with a professional setup, including mounting, leveling, and proper connection to your electric or gas supply, as well as a routine checkup to verify your new kitchen range is ready for you to make delectable masterpieces once connected.

Reasons You Should Have Your Wall Oven Installed Professionally

A cardinal rule when it comes to built-in appliances is to let the professionals do it. Between measuring a space to fit a wall oven installation and making sure the right configuration works with your kitchen space, knowing how to install a wall oven isn’t the easiest skill to master. And when it comes to gas wall ovens, there’s an added layer of concern if your built-in wall oven isn’t properly connected to a gas line, which can lead to dangerous gas leaks.

That’s why our trained team at Albert Lee takes pride in handling home installation projects for you, taking on each job with accuracy and attention to detail and safety. Whether you’re adding a single oven, one of our recommended double ovens, a speed oven, or a combination of built-in cooking appliances, our professional appliance installation services get the job done in time for you to start dinner.
