Frequently asked questions

Do I need a water line for refrigerator installation?

Only if your fridge has an ice maker or water dispenser. Standard refrigerators need only a power outlet and proper ventilation. Water line materials typically cost $20–$60.

What tools do I need (not included in material costs)?

Most DIYers already have a level, wrench, and screwdriver. Some jobs need a drill for mounting brackets. NailIt tracks only materials you purchase, not tools you own.

Can I install a refrigerator in a tight space myself?

Yes. Budget for shims ($10–$20) to level the unit and ensure door seals properly. Measure your opening before purchase to confirm fit and account for ventilation clearance.
