A pre-installation checklist to prevent gas, electrical, and counter problems.

By BuiltInFix Team

Correct installation from day one prevents many faults and reduces gas and electrical risk.

Before the technician arrives

Make sure the gas or power source is ready, the space is suitable, and ventilation is available. Keep the appliance manual if you have it.

During installation

Leak testing, leveling, and making sure the hose or wires are not compressed behind the appliance are essential.

Quick checklist

  • Measure the appliance space
  • Prepare gas or power source
  • Ensure ventilation
  • Leak test after installation

FAQ
