Hello,
I can install a stackable washer/dryer in condo that I purchased recently in Park Slope. I am limited to the amount of construction I could do (I can’t extend pipes (gas and/or water) through common walls, floors and ceilings – I can extend pipes for outside walls and walls interior to the condo). The plumbing currently only runs through one wall (separating the kitchen and bathroom). The bathroom is too small to alter and the kitchen layout is small and awkward. I would like to hire someone to look at my layout and advise me of the best location for this washer/dryer that won’t make the layout a disaster. Could someone please recommend what type of person I would need? Are there any architect/design/plumber combos?
I would like to install a small stackable gas washer/dryer – (the gas is fine for this, the electric types are more of an issue as I would need to upgrade the electricity for a normal dryer.)
Thank you for any recommendations. (Also, any recommendations for a good, small stackable gas washer/dryer that won’t create vibrations to disturb neighbors would also be appreciated!)
LG makes a combo washer/dryer that doesn’t require a vent. Only drawback is it’s slow.
Gas is most likely going to be difficult as you cannot just put the vent anywhere. There are limitations on how close you can put it to not only any of your windows but any of your neighbors. You need to find out if your building is going to requrie a permit for this.
I suggest you first get a plumber and decide the location of existing gas lines and waste lines and where you can locate a vent for the gas dryer.You need a strong floor that can handle the weight and vibrations.

I would first get a plumber in there to narrow down the possible locations. Factors include the type and condition of your existing plumbing, the location of existing gas lines and waste lines, and where you can locate a vent for the gas dryer. Also, wherever you put it, you need a strong floor that can handle the weight and vibrations. You might also consider where neighbors with similar layouts have placed theirs.
