Appliance Removal in Hapeville
We take out the refrigerator, washer, dryer, range or water heater you are done with. That includes the disconnect, the carry through your home and the haul to a recycler. You get the scope and the price in writing before anyone picks up a dolly.
What appliance removal covers
Appliances are heavy, awkward and full of parts that should not go to a landfill. A full-size refrigerator often weighs 250 pounds or more and has a sealed refrigerant loop. A washer holds standing water in the pump and drum. A range may sit on a gas stub. Each needs a different kind of handling, and that is why we price appliances separately from general junk removal.
Our written estimate lists each unit, how it comes out and any extra step, such as pulling a fridge door to clear a narrow hallway. Upfront pricing with no hidden fees means the number we write down is the number you pay.
What is included on the day
- Disconnecting water and power
- We unplug units, shut and remove washer supply hoses, drain residual water from the pump, and cap or disconnect refrigerator ice maker lines so nothing drips across your floor on the way out.
- Gas appliances, handled safely
- We do not cut or cap gas lines. If a gas range or dryer is still connected, have the supply valve closed and the line capped by a qualified plumber or your gas provider first. We will tell you this on the phone so the visit is not wasted.
- Protected carry-out
- We use appliance dollies with straps, floor runners and door-frame padding. When a fridge will not clear a doorway, we remove the doors and handles rather than forcing it past your trim.
- Refrigerant-safe routing
- Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and window AC units contain refrigerant that has to be recovered before scrapping. We deliver them to recyclers that handle that recovery instead of dumping them.
- Metal and parts recycling
- Steel cabinets, copper tubing and compressors are recyclable. We route units to scrap and recycling outlets whenever they will accept them.
- Sweep-up
- Pulling an old appliance usually reveals lint, dust and a ring of grime. We sweep the spot before we leave.
Signs it is time to haul the old one away
The compressor runs constantly
A fridge that hums nonstop and still feels warm usually has a failing compressor or a refrigerant leak. On an older unit, the repair often costs more than the appliance is worth.
The new one is arriving
Many delivery crews will not take the old unit, or they charge for it and need it disconnected first. We can clear the space ahead of delivery day.
A garage fridge that sweats
Second refrigerators in an uninsulated garage fight long, hot Georgia summers. A rusted cabinet, a cracked door gasket and a pool of condensation underneath mean it is losing that fight.
Rust, leaks or burnt smells
A rust-through water heater tank, a washer leaking from the tub seal, or a dryer that smells hot from a worn heating element are reasons to retire the unit, not keep patching it.
It has been sitting unused for years
An old chest freezer or a spare washer takes floor space and collects moisture. If no one has plugged it in for a while, it is ready to go.
How an appliance pickup works
- 1
Tell us what is going
On the phone, name each appliance, where it sits and what stands between it and the curb: stairs, a tight turn, a basement landing. You get a quote by phone, or we come out for a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.
- 2
Written scope before work
When we arrive, we confirm the list and put the price and the steps in writing. If something on site differs from the call, we explain the change before we start, not after.
- 3
Disconnect and carry out
We drain, unplug and strap each unit, protect the path through your home and bring it out on a dolly. Large items go out first so we never block the route.
- 4
Recycle and clean up
Units are loaded, the area is swept, and the appliances are taken to recycling or proper disposal.
What sets the price of appliance removal
We do not price by guesswork. The number comes from the specific units and what it takes to move them safely, and every factor is written on your estimate before we touch anything.
- Type and count of units
- A dishwasher and a side-by-side refrigerator are very different loads. Several appliances in one visit usually cost less per unit than separate trips.
- Refrigerant handling
- Units with refrigerant must go to an outlet that recovers it, which carries a disposal cost that a washer or range does not.
- Access and stairs
- A basement chest freezer, a second-floor laundry room or a narrow hallway takes more people and more time than a garage unit beside an open door.
- Disconnect work
- Draining a washer or removing fridge doors is part of the written price when needed. Gas lines must be capped by others before we arrive.
Appliance removal questions
Something not covered here? (404) 738-8057
Do you take refrigerators that still have food or water in them?
Please empty food out first; spoiled food leaks and smells in the truck. We can handle a little leftover water in the drip pan or ice maker. Leave the fridge unplugged a day ahead so the freezer can defrost.
Can you disconnect my gas dryer or gas range?
No. We do not work on gas lines. Have the valve shut and the line capped by a plumber or your gas provider, then we can take the appliance out the same as any other unit.
What happens to the refrigerant in my old freezer?
We take refrigerant-bearing units to recyclers that recover it before the metal is processed. We do not vent it or cut the lines ourselves.
Will you take an old water heater?
Yes, once it is drained and disconnected from water and power or gas. Tanks hold a lot of sediment and water, so draining it fully makes the carry safer and keeps your floors dry.
Can you take other things while you are here?
Yes. Add the old mattress or boxes to the same visit and we add them to the written price. For a bigger job, see our furniture removal and garage cleanouts pages.
