Appliance & Hot Tub Removal

Appliances and hot tubs are the two jobs where lifting goes wrong fastest, which is why they get their own crew rather than a solo hauler. A full-size refrigerator can weigh 250 to 350 pounds, and a soaked hot tub cover alone can top 60 pounds after Glen Ellyn's wet springs off Lake Ellyn. We arrive with dollies, straps, and a saw when a spa is too wide to clear a fence gate. In older homes near Stacy's Corners and Forest Hills, kitchen doorways and basement stair turns are the real obstacle — we measure the path before we move an inch so nothing gouges a wall.

Choose appliance removal alone when you have one or two units — a dead washer in a Briarcliffe utility room, or a fridge you replaced and left in the garage. Choose the hot tub service when you need a backyard spa gone, since those require draining, cutting the shell if it won't fit the gate, and multiple trips to the truck. If you're also clearing a whole basement or garage, a full truckload cleanout often costs less per item than booking each piece separately — ask when you call so we point you to the cheaper route. The trade-off is simple: single-item pricing is fastest to quote, while volume pricing rewards a bigger pile.

Access drives the price more than weight. A ground-floor appliance rolled straight to a driveway in Sunset Knolls is the low end. A hot tub wedged on a raised deck behind a Glen Crest home, reached only through a side yard, sits at the higher end because it needs breakdown and a longer carry. We disconnect water lines and unplug units, but a hardwired range or a gas line should be shut off by you or an electrician before we arrive. Refrigerant-containing units are separated so coolant handling stays compliant, and metal from old washers and water heaters routes to scrap rather than the landfill where possible.

We cover the full Glen Ellyn map — Maryknoll, Honeysuckle Hill, Glenbard Acres, Five Corners, and the streets around Glen Ellyn Public Library. Booking runs by phone at (630) 780-5987 so we can gauge stairs, gate width, and spa size before we quote. Every number is a ballpark until we see the item; the exact price is confirmed on-site, in writing, before any lifting starts.
