The process of replacing old appliances with new ones, once researching, shopping and purchasing are done, is completed with the delivery and placement of the new products. To make sure that this transition goes as smoothly as possible, take these steps before the delivery truck pulls up in front of your home: * Decide what you’re doing with the old appliances – Many delivery services will include free removal of old appliances as long as the request is made in advance. If the appliances have another destination, such as a charity, relative, etc., be sure to have them removed prior to the arrival of the new products. * Provide information on the route from the truck to the kitchen, laundry room, etc. – This information is particularly important if the delivery has to go up multiple flights of stairs or will encounter other challenges. * Clear the path for delivery – A delivery can be postponed if conditions are not deemed to be safe due to ice, snow or debris that obstructs the path from the curb to the kitchen. The weight and size of major appliances necessitates that risks of slipping or stumbling be removed for the safety of both the delivery team and the appliances. * Remove bottlenecks – Remove handrails, doors, and any other objects that may impede the delivery. Much like an unsafe delivery route from curb to kitchen, obstacles that make a delivery impossible will result in a postponement until the path can be cleared. * Make sure connections are available and meet local specifications – In a “place and set” delivery, the team will connect your new appliances as long as plumbing, electrical, ducts, etc. are in order. Taking these steps can ensure that your transition to new appliances goes smoothly. They can also eliminate the disappointment and the potential of extra costs for a delivery that has to be postponed due to unresolved issues.
