Appliance installation in Las Vegas

Some delivery services drop a new appliance and leave the connections to you. Our appliance installation in Las Vegas picks up from there: we connect water, drain, power or vent, level the unit, fasten it where it needs fastening, and run a full cycle while we are still on site.

Permits depend on the job. The City of Las Vegas homeowner guide lists replacing an existing dishwasher or garbage disposal of 30 amps or less as work that needs no permit, and treats freezers, washing machines and refrigerators as portable appliances. Gas piping, new circuits and new vented appliances are different, covered below.

A dishwasher swap involves a supply line, a drain hose with a high loop or air gap, a power connection, and mounting brackets into the counter or cabinet sides. Old supply valves under Las Vegas sinks are often crusted with scale and may weep once turned, so we check the valve before committing to it.

The Las Vegas Valley Water District's 2026 water quality summary puts average hardness at 280 parts per million, or 16 grains per gallon. That mineral load clogs inlet screens and stiffens valves over time, and it is why a dishwasher with a water hardness setting should be set to match the local figure rather than left at the factory default.

Washers need a level stance, a drain hose secured in the standpipe, and new fill hoses rather than the old ones off the last machine. Dryers need a vent run that is short, smooth and not crushed behind the machine. A new electric dryer usually needs its power cord bought separately, and the right one depends on whether the wall receptacle has three slots or four.

Stacking only works with a pair built for it and the maker's kit. An over-the-range microwave is held by a rear plate screwed into framing plus through-bolts from the cabinet above; the template in the box shows where both go. Its blower must be set for outside venting or recirculation to match what the kitchen has.

The City of Las Vegas guide lists installing kitchen range exhausts and dryer exhausts as permit items, so even a hood swap gets checked against the rules for your address. Adding a hood where none existed, or upsizing the duct, also means cutting through cabinets, ceiling or roof.

Gas ranges and gas dryers connect to the house gas system, fed in the valley by Southwest Gas, which began serving Las Vegas in 1954. The City of Las Vegas guide says installing, altering or repairing gas piping between the meter and any appliance requires a permit. We follow those rules: gas work is permitted and inspected as the city or county for your address requires, and every connection is leak-tested before the appliance runs.

If you ever smell rotten eggs near an appliance, leave the house and call 911 and Southwest Gas at 877-860-6020 from a safe distance, as the utility advises.

A dishwasher where there was none, an induction range on a circuit sized for an old coil top, or a second fridge in the garage may need a new or upgraded circuit. That is permit-level electrical work, handled as the local building department requires, and we flag it when we first look at the job.
