Appliance Installations in Union County, NJ — Warranty-Protected, Code-Compliant

New dishwasher, fridge, gas range, washer, or dryer? The plumbing or gas connection is where most appliance problems start. We make sure yours starts right.

Bought a new appliance and the delivery team won't touch the plumbing or gas connection? That's normal — and it's where homeowners get stuck. A bad dishwasher hookup floods the cabinet. A poor gas line install is a safety risk. A wrong supply line voids the warranty. Continental Plumbers has been installing appliance connections across Union County since 1985. We handle the part that protects your home, your warranty, and your insurance.

Appliances We Install

Every Appliance That Connects to Water or Gas

If it plugs into your plumbing or gas line, we install the connection. Here’s what we handle most often in Union County:
Dishwashers

Water supply, drain hose, air gap, shutoff valve. Done right or the warranty is void on day one.

Refrigerators with Ice Makers

New water line run through cabinets or walls, with proper shutoff. Leak-proof connections to the fridge.

Washing Machines

Hot and cold supply lines, drain hookup, proper shutoff valves. Replacing old burst-prone hoses with braided steel.

Gas Ranges & Ovens

Gas line install, leak testing, shutoff valve, code-compliant connection. NJ requires a licensed plumber for gas work.

Gas Dryers

Gas line, flexible connector, shutoff valve, leak test. Common installation in Union County homes converting from electric.

Garbage Disposals

Mounting, drain connection, dishwasher tie-in if needed. We install or replace any major brand.

Reverse Osmosis & Water Filters

Under-sink RO systems, drinking water filters, whole-house filtration.

Tankless & Tank Water Heaters

Gas or electric, full install with proper venting and code compliance.

Outdoor Gas Grills & Fire Features

Why a Licensed Plumber Matters for Appliances

Three Reasons DIY or Handyman Installs Cost You More

“It’s just a hose, how hard can it be?” Here’s what actually goes wrong:
Your Manufacturer Warranty

Read the warranty card on any major appliance — it usually requires licensed installation to stay valid. A handyman install can void coverage the first time something goes wrong.

Gas Lines Are a Legal Requirement

In New Jersey, gas line work for ranges, dryers, and outdoor appliances must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A non-compliant install can come back during inspection, sale, or insurance claim.

Your Insurance May Not Cover the Damage

Most homeowner's policies exclude water and gas damage caused by unpermitted or non-licensed installs. A flooded cabinet from a bad dishwasher install could be on you, not the insurance company.

A licensed install isn't an upsell. It's the difference between an appliance that runs for a decade and a leak that ruins your kitchen the first month.

We Get It

The Calls We Get Every Week

"The delivery team brought my new appliance but won't install it."

Standard policy from most retailers and delivery services. They drop it off — connecting it to water, gas, or drain is the customer's responsibility. We come out, do the connection, and your appliance is ready to use the same day.

"My new appliance's manual says I need a licensed plumber."

Most major brands (Bosch, Miele, GE, Samsung, LG) require it for the warranty. Same with gas appliances — manufacturers explicitly require licensed installation for the warranty to remain valid.

"My old shutoff valves don't even work anymore."

Common in older Union County homes. Original shutoffs are often seized, leaking, or missing entirely. We replace them with quarter-turn ball valves while we install the new appliance — so the next time you need to shut it off, you actually can.

"I had a handyman install my dishwasher and now the cabinet is wet."

We hear this almost weekly. Missing air gap, improper drain loop, undersized supply line, no shutoff valve — they all cause slow leaks that damage cabinets before you notice. We can come out, fix it properly, and check if there's existing damage you should document.

"I need to replace all the appliances in a rental unit between tenants."

We handle multi-appliance turnover work regularly for property managers — dishwasher, range, fridge water line, washer hookups, all in one visit. Clear billing, fast scheduling.
