I had my refrigerator and dishwasher replaced today and now the entire house has very little water pressure! Why?

Did you have to close main water valve for the whole house to install the fridge and DW ?

How old is your house and what type of pipes do you have? Is both hot and cold affected? What did you shut down to install both appliances? Back to you, Tom

No - only the water at the sources was closed off.

My house is 7 years old and I believe it has copper piping, but I'm not sure.
Both hot and cold are affected and only the water at each source was shut down for installation.
