Appliance removal
in Coral Gables.

Many Coral Gables estates built in the twenties and thirties picked up a second kitchen somewhere along the way: a butler's pantry off the dining room, a carriage house out back converted into a guest suite, each with its own stove or refrigerator that stopped getting used once the main kitchen was updated. An appliance job here is as often two or three units pulled from different corners of the property as it is a single fridge from the kitchen everyone actually uses.

A lot of those older carriage houses and guest suites never got the central air retrofit the main house did, so a window unit tucked into an old sash frame is common, and it holds refrigerant just like a central compressor or a kitchen fridge: federal rule requires that refrigerant be recovered before the unit can be scrapped, no matter how small the unit looks. When a new refrigerator or stove gets delivered to the main kitchen, the retailer typically hauls away only that exact unit, so the older stove or fridge from the butler's pantry or the carriage house is usually the one still sitting there afterward.

Coral Gables enforces strict rules about what is visible from the street, so an old appliance does not sit at the curb waiting on a scheduled city pickup day: the hauler loads it and leaves in one visit. Condo buildings near Merrick Park add their own requirement, a certificate of insurance and a booked service elevator window, before a vendor comes through the lobby. Send photos of what needs to go, approve one price, and a licensed and insured hauler handles it. You pay JunkZipp once it is gone, not the crew and not up front.
