Repair Service Built for Philadelphia-Area Homes
The 08609 ZIP code covers neighborhoods on the east side of Trenton along with a small adjoining part of Hamilton Township. Much of the housing here is brick and frame rowhouses and twins built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when the city was a manufacturing center. Many of those homes have been held by the same families for a long time and have basements with laundry and older electrical systems.

Basement Laundry on Century-Old Wiring
In an older Trenton rowhouse, the washer and dryer are usually in the basement, often beside a laundry tub, with the dryer vented out a rear wall or a basement window. Those houses were wired long before anyone planned for a modern laundry pair, and the electrical setup can affect how well the appliances work.
Some basements still have ungrounded two-prong outlets or circuits shared with lighting and other outlets. A washer plugged into an adapter or an extension cord is a safety risk, and the washer's electronics may misbehave on a weak connection. An electric dryer needs its own 240-volt circuit with the right outlet, and older dryer outlets are often the three-prong type. If the cord and outlet are worn or mismatched, the connection can overheat.
Gas dryers are common in older homes too. They need only a standard 120-volt outlet, but that outlet should be grounded. If you smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
When we find a wiring problem behind a laundry issue, we will tell you; electrical repairs are for an electrician. When the problem is in the appliance, we will diagnose it, write up the estimate and wait for your go-ahead.
Before Your East Side Laundry Visit
Clear and light the basement stairs, and move stored items away from the washer and dryer. Know where your breaker panel or fuse box is. If the dryer outlet looks scorched or the cord is warm to the touch, unplug the dryer and tell us when you book.
