Appliances in 1970s homes

A kitchen or laundry from that era has usually been through two or three rounds of appliances, and the newer machines are often larger than what the space was built for. Tight fits, long dryer vent runs and older supply valves behind the washer are the usual things a technician finds.

The city lists converting a gas tank water heater to a tankless unit among the jobs that need a permit, along with electrical work (city permits page).

Getting rid of an old appliance

Under the Republic Services contract described in a December 2021 city notice, washers, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves and other appliances go out as bulk items at no cost, but anything containing refrigerant must have it removed first (city notice). That contract ran about five years, so confirm the current rules with Republic before setting out a refrigerator.
