HomeDepot - GAS dryer & washer installation

Sorry urbandad. I like the part about you suggesting that the plumbers wont file the paperwork. I did not mean to imply that you were suggesting they do it themselves.

urbandad, i like what you are suggesting. that they will not file the forms. and yes, if this were my house i would do this myself. but most people should be calling their own plumber. someone they are paying. i would not trust the guy Home Depot brings in – maybe he is some bozo at the other extreme who wants it all done right back to the street and opens an 80 year old can of worms at least by using the licensed plumber, the responsibility is off the shoulders of the homeowner, even if something is not done correct.

what gennady has said about this for simple appliance installs has the potential to expose a lot of homeowners to issues with 80 year old dryer and stove lines that were never filed and have been fine all along.

I’m not suggesting s/he do it himself, because someone who is asking this question probably doesn’t have the tools or skills to do it. Someone who did would probably now to just have home depot drop off the unit and pick up the old one. It is not like running a new gas line or something and is likely within the ability of many homeowners, but if you have to ask you probably shouldn’t try it.
