Plumbed fridges are one of the most desirable appliances in the modern kitchen—providing cold, filtered water and ice at just the press of a button. However, the proper installation of a plumbed fridge is a bit more complicated than just plugging in an appliance. It requires careful planning and professional installation for it to work correctly and safely and provide your family with the ultimate comfort of cold water and ice water for years. At ABA Plumbing & Gas, our plumbing experts will guide you on the key aspects of plumbed fridge installation to ensure that you get the best from your new appliance.

Why Choose a Plumbed Fridge?

Plumbed fridges are connected directly to the household water supply, ensuring there is always an available source of clean and filtered water, as well as instant ice, without the need for water jugs or ice trays. This is a fantastic and convenient option for homeowners who love hosting parties, have large families or simply want to enjoy modern technology at its best.

Here are some considerations prior to installation:

•   Water line location: Before you purchase a plumbed fridge, see to it that your kitchen allows for a water line connection. If not, locate a reliable plumber who can do the job of running a pipe from your main water supply to the location of the fridge. This task requires professional plumbing expertise to avoid leaks or other faults and ensure proper water pressure.
•   Layout & Space: Measure the place before fitting the refrigerator. Consider the door swing and ventilation when providing adequate allowances for the ice box. Make sure you have room for a water line connection at the back of the refrigerator without crimping or bending.
•   Water Filtration: Many plumbed refrigerators are fitted with water filters, but these need to be replaced from time to time in order to maintain water quality and keep the appliance running perfectly. Check where the filter is located, how to access it, the cost of replacing, and frequency of replacements.
•   Shut-off Valve: A shut-off valve for the water line to the refrigerator is a very important amenity to have. In simple terms, with this in place, you will be able to shut off the water supply when replacing the filter or servicing the appliance to avoid any possible water damage.
