Appliances in New Construction
From Open Source Ecology
Ref 1
- Washer and dryer come with 'luxury homes' only? [1]
- Stoves are expected, but not all homes come with ovens.
- It is very rare for contractors to include a new refrigerator in the mix for new construction homes – either in the US or the UK.
- HVAC is usually not included
- First part does say that oven is included.
Ref 2
- Oven and HVAC are always included - [2]
More
- New construction - no fridge or clothes washer because people are typically particular about what they want [3]. Our case is special, in that a condensing superwasher is part of our efficiency brand. But we can leave out the fridge, suggesting that people install a superinsulated superfridge (horizontal).
- New homes have no appliances other than water heater and HVAC [4]
- HVAC included but fridge negotiable - [5]
- Fridge, stove, washer dryer usually not included - [6]
- Fixtures are included - not movable appliances. [7]

- Ductwork / Plumbing / Wiring only
- Water Heater and HVAC Package
- D e l u x Water Heater and HVAC Package
- FLOS Package
- All appliances/designs are FLOS (probably by OSE-) designs
