Carrying a fridge out of a Miami apartment takes a few minutes. Everything that decides your timeline happens before that — the disconnection, the refrigerant, the access, the building slot. Get those right and the removal is the least interesting thing that happens.

Retailer haul-away, asked for at the point of purchase. If you're replacing the appliance, this is the most-missed free option in the category — easy to arrange when you buy, difficult to add once delivery is booked. What any particular retailer includes is theirs to tell you, so ask them directly.
Scrap, if you have a vehicle. An appliance is substantially metal, which means a scrap yard may take it at no cost to you rather than charging. That beats every paid option including ours. The catch is transport and lifting — if you'd have to hire a van, the arithmetic usually collapses.
And if it still works, offer it before disposing of it. A working appliance is one of the few household items with a genuine second life.
The reason appliances can't be treated as ordinary bulky items.
Anything containing refrigerant — fridges, freezers, air conditioners — has to reach someone equipped to recover it before anything else happens to the unit. That's true whether it still runs or died three years ago, and it's why these can't simply go out with general waste.
We won't quote regulations at you; what the rules require is a question for Miami-Dade and for licensed handlers, and it isn't something a removal company should be paraphrasing. What we'll say is the practical consequence: it travels its own route, always.
Flag it when you book so it's routed rather than discovered. That's the whole of your side of it.
Said plainly because the alternative is a crew improvising with a gas line.
Gas, water and electrical connections are for a licensed plumber or electrician. Not for us, and not for a confident afternoon with a wrench.
It needs doing before the removal slot, not on the day. A washer still plumbed in when the crew arrives is a wasted visit, and in a building it's a wasted elevator booking too — which is the more expensive half.
Once a unit is genuinely disconnected, capped where relevant, emptied and accessible, the removal itself is quick and unremarkable.
Four things, all cheap, all worth doing before the day.
Empty it. Food, ice, water, the drawer of frozen things nobody has looked at.
Defrost it. A freezer that melts in a hallway is somebody's floor.
Disconnect it properly, per above.
Make it accessible. Pulled out from the wall, doors clear, nothing stacked on top. An appliance in a tight galley kitchen behind a full counter takes longer than one standing in the open.
None of these change the price. All of them change whether the visit runs smoothly.
Same requirements as any Miami removal, plus one factor specific to appliances.
Most towers want a certificate of insurance on file and a reserved service elevator slot, which takes days rather than hours — the full sequence is here.
The appliance-specific part is weight. A fridge or a range is usually the heaviest single object a service lift carries on a given day, and some buildings are correspondingly stricter about how and when it moves.
Tell us the building when you book and the certificate is produced at no charge. What your building specifically requires comes from its management office, not from us.
A South Florida pattern worth naming.
A working appliance that gets unplugged and left in a garage or an unconditioned space through a warm season frequently stops being a working appliance. Damp, heat and stillness are unkind to seals, electronics and anything with a motor.
Which matters because the free routes — reuse, giving it away — depend on it still running. If you're replacing something that currently works, make the offer while it still works, not after it's spent the summer in a garage waiting for a decision.
Per item, quoted flat. The minimum job is $75, so a single small appliance still prices at the minimum.
| Appliance | Price |
|---|---|
| Refrigerator (standard) | $164 |
| Refrigerator (side-by-side / French door) | $183 |
| Freezer — chest / upright | $146 / $149 |
| Washer | $133 |
| Dryer | $128 |
| Washer/dryer combo (single stacked unit) | $167 |
| Stove / oven / range — electric / gas | $128 / $131 |
| Dishwasher | $109 |
| Water heater — tank / tankless | $131 / $90 |
| Air conditioner — window / portable | $79 / $85 |
| Microwave — countertop / built-in | $30 / $54 |
| Small appliance (air fryer, toaster oven) | $31 |
| Minimum job | $75 |
One important clarification. That $167 "washer/dryer combo" is a single stacked combination unit — one machine. It is not a discount for taking a separate washer and dryer, which price individually and come to $261. We'd rather flag that than have anyone read a saving that doesn't exist.
A condo kitchen being replaced: fridge, electric range, dishwasher and a built-in microwave.
Itemised that's $455. By volume it's about four and a half cubic yards, which falls in the three-eighths tier at $338 — so the truck rate wins by $117 and that's what would be quoted.
Appliances are dense, which is exactly why they cross into volume pricing sooner than people expect. Four appliances already beat itemising, where four pieces of furniture usually wouldn't.
Because it's the commonest two-appliance job and it lands the other side of the line.
A separate washer and dryer: $133 + $128 = $261 itemised. By volume that's about three cubic yards, which is the quarter-truck tier at $241 — so the truck wins by $20.
A narrow margin, and the sort of thing you shouldn't have to calculate. We quote both ways and charge the lower without being asked, on every job.
Refrigerant means its own route regardless of condition. Empty and defrost first. $164 standard, $183 for a side-by-side.
Disconnection by a licensed professional, before the day. $133, $128 and $109 respectively.
The one where improvising is genuinely unwise. Licensed disconnection, then $131.
Contains refrigerant like a fridge does. $79 window, $85 portable.
Offer it first — reuse, a giveaway listing, or a retailer taking the old one when the new one lands. All free, all better outcomes.
Try a scrap yard before booking us. It may cost you nothing at all.
The lifting is simple; what decides your timeline happens first. A fridge contains refrigerant, so it must reach someone equipped to recover it whatever else happens to the unit — which is why it travels its own route regardless of whether it works. Before booking, check two free options: retailer haul-away asked for at purchase, and a scrap yard if you have a vehicle. If neither fits, a standard fridge is $164 and a side-by-side or French door $183.
Yes, and not by us — we don't disconnect gas, water or electrical connections, and we'd rather say so than have a crew improvise with a gas line. A licensed plumber or electrician handles it, before the removal slot rather than on the day. Once disconnected, capped where relevant, emptied and accessible, removal is quick. Washer $133, dryer $128, electric range $128, gas range $131 — though none of that matters if it's still plumbed in when the crew arrives.
Often yes, and with a suitable vehicle it's genuinely the better answer. Appliances are substantially metal, so a scrap yard may take one at no cost rather than charging — which beats every paid option including ours. The catch is transport and lifting; if you'd have to hire a van the arithmetic usually collapses. Worth ten minutes of phoning before booking a paid removal for anything largely metal.
Yes, with the same building requirements as anything else plus one consideration. Most towers want a COI on file and a reserved service elevator, which takes days. The extra factor is weight — an appliance is usually the heaviest single object a service lift carries that day, so some buildings are stricter about how and when it moves. Tell us the building and we produce the certificate at no charge.
Offer it before disposing of it — a working appliance is one of the few household items with a real second life. A reuse organisation may collect it, or someone may simply take it away. Both cost nothing and beat a truck. The window closes once it stops working or sits unpowered in a humid unit for months, so make the offer while it still runs.
By item, $75 minimum. Fridge $164, side-by-side $183, washer $133, dryer $128, electric range $128, gas range $131, dishwasher $109, chest freezer $146, upright $149, tank water heater $131, tankless $90, window AC $79, portable AC $85, built-in microwave $54, countertop $30. Note the $167 washer/dryer combo price is for a single stacked unit, not a discount on a separate washer and dryer — those come to $261.
Book the disconnection before you book the removal.
Almost every appliance job that goes wrong goes wrong the same way: the truck arrives, the machine is still connected, and nothing can happen. In a house that's an annoying rescheduling. In a tower it also burns the elevator slot, which is the part that took days to get.
Sort the plumber or electrician first, empty and defrost it, pull it clear of the wall, and tell us if it holds refrigerant. Then the carrying — the bit everyone worries about — turns out to be the five easy minutes at the end.
