About Pro Install Guy
I'm a professional appliance installer. I've done thousands of installations — dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges, microwaves, disposals, you name it. Residential, commercial, new construction, retrofits.
Why This Site Exists
Every manufacturer's manual assumes perfect conditions. They assume the plumbing is right where they spec'd it. They assume the electrical is up to code. They assume the floor is level. In the real world? None of that is true.
This site bridges the gap between what the manual says and what actually happens on a job site. The tips, tricks, and workarounds that turn a 3-hour install into a 45-minute job.
Who This Is For
- Pro installers: Level up your game, learn new tricks, troubleshoot faster
- DIY homeowners: Install your own appliances without flooding the kitchen
- Contractors: Quick reference guides for your crews
- Apprentices: Learn what they don't teach you in trade school
The Tools I Use
I only recommend tools I've actually used on job sites. When I say a wrench is good, it's because I've used it on hundreds of installs. When I say a fitting is garbage, it's because I've had to go back and fix the leaks.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some product links on this site are affiliate links (mostly Amazon and Lowe's). If you buy through them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the site running and the guides free. I never recommend something just because it has an affiliate program.
Safety First
I'm serious about safety. Every guide includes proper safety warnings. If something involves gas lines, high voltage, or anything beyond your skill level — hire a licensed professional. No install is worth risking your home or your life.
