Will the shipping company hook up the ice maker on my fridge or the gas line on my stove?2020-12-28T14:23:08-05:00

Our delivery personnel are handy, but they’re not authorized to connect water lines. Many of our customers read through the homeowner’s manual and connect the water line themselves. You can also hire a plumber for extra help.

Will the refrigerator fit through my door?2020-12-28T14:23:54-05:00

Check out our fridge specifications page to see all measurements. As a last resort, fridge doors can be removed. Please measure carefully. We cannot accept returns on fridges that do not fit in your house.

What do I measure before I place an order and what type of delivery do I need?2020-12-28T18:13:38-05:00

What is the difference between a Curbside and an Inside delivery?2020-12-28T14:29:55-05:00

A Curbside delivery is typically brought to the first dry area near your home. You are responsible for uncrating the appliance and getting it in your house. With a Curbside delivery, grab a tool set and a few of your strongest friends. The shipping weight for the fridge is close to 400 lbs. The shipping weight for the stove is close to 300 lbs. With an Inside delivery, our shippers uncrate your appliance, bring it into your kitchen, remove all packaging and take the debris with them. Stairs, door removal and old fridge removal to the curb are extra charges.

Who makes the internal components of your Big Chill appliances?2020-12-28T14:30:56-05:00

We use big name components with our appliances. Give us a call for the details.

What are the advantages of the powder coat paint you use?2020-12-28T14:31:26-05:00

Powder coating gives customers the longest-lasting, and most color-durable quality finish available. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes. Colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Powder coating is also highly protective of our environment. While liquid finishes contain solvents which have pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), powder coating contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts, if any, of VOCs into the atmosphere. Thus, there is no longer a need for finishers to buy costly pollution control equipment. In addition, most powder coating overspray that does not adhere to the part can be retrieved and reused, virtually eliminating the waste commonly found in liquid finishing processes.

What is your cancellation and return policy?2020-12-28T14:32:46-05:00
