Q: What are the benefits of having a built-in or column refrigerator?
A: Built-in or column refrigerators offer a sleek and integrated look, blending seamlessly with your kitchen cabinetry for a modern and stylish appearance. They provide more flexibility in design and layout, allowing you to maximize your kitchen space and create a cohesive aesthetic.

Q: What is the process for connecting the refrigerator to an existing water supply, if applicable?
A: To connect the refrigerator to an existing water supply, you will need a new, unopened refrigerator waterline kit.

If a valve replacement is needed, it is not included in the installation service and may result in a drop-off only appointment.
