It’s no mystery that household appliances are heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to move. So, when you’re replacing a large appliance, what are you supposed to do with the old one?
Luckily, Lowe’s offers haul-away services for old appliances when customers purchase new appliances from Lowe’s.
However, sometimes this service is free while other times it comes at a cost.
If you purchase a brand new appliance from Lowe’s, you’ll have the option of getting free installation and haul-away of your old appliance if you meet the following criteria:
- Your appliance is a washer, dryer, range, refrigerator, or freezer (gas dryers, drop-in ranges, and built-in fridges not included)
- You empty, unhook, and unplug your old appliance prior to installation and removal
- You are a Lowe’s Pro customer
If you are not a Lowe’s Pro customer, Lowe’s charges $30 for old appliance removal.
If the appliance you purchased does not meet the requirements listed above, you will be expected to pay additional installation fees.
