Appliance Removal San Diego

Appliance Removal in San Diego

A dead refrigerator can’t go in the trash, the City isn’t collecting bulky items, and it weighs more than you want to find out. Send a photo and we haul it: a standard fridge is $164, a washer $133, a tank water heater $131.

Refrigerant is recovered by certified technicians before the metal is recycled, and that handling is already in the price.

Before the Crew Arrives

What to Do

Unplug it, empty it, and turn off the water line to the ice maker or washer. Leave the fridge door closed; no need to defrost.

What We Don’t Do

Our crews carry appliances; they don’t install or re-plumb them. Gas ranges, gas dryers and hard-wired units need to be disconnected by a qualified installer or plumber first.
