Where to Install?
If you already have a place in your home that has washer and dryer hook ups, the hardest part is over. Penryn homeowners often get conflicted when trying to find the best location for their washer and dryer if there isn’t an existing laundry room with connections already in the home. You can install your washer and dryer in your kitchen, basement, closet, bathroom or even garage, depending on the layout of your home and the availability of electricity and/or gas for washer and dryer hook ups. When deciding where you want to create your laundry space, you should consider factors like your lifestyle, the quantity of laundry you do, the amount of space needed for the accumulation of dirty clothes, laundry supplies, etc. In deciding the best location, you should also ensure that there is a proper supply of hot and cold water, electricity, and a means for water to drain and the dryer to vent to outside the home.
Electrical Needs for Washer & Dryer Setups
According to the latest National Electric Code, you should have a 20 amp circuit in your laundry room for the uninterrupted functioning of your washer and dryer. Your washer and dryer work with a dedicated electric circuit of 120V. If you have an electric dryer in your Penryn home, it should have an electric supply of 240V. Moreover, the circuit should have a GFCI protector, according to the standard code. GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter and it is a major type of electric outlet that comes with extra protection.
Cost of Washer & Dryer Hook Up
Washers and dryers help you bring down your out of the house errand workload and make your life easier. However, the cost of installing washer and dryer hook ups may go beyond your home improvement budget. The cost of electric washer and dryer hook up depends on several factors, including your requirements or needs. For example, if you want to relocate an existing washer and dryer to an area that does not have water drainage, it will mean extra cost. That cost will include installing electric outlets and other wiring, upgrading the electric panel, labor costs, plumbing work if needed, and approval from the local authority, among other things.
