Appliance Installation in Ontario

The box store will sell you the appliance; getting it installed properly is the part they're vague about. A dishwasher needs a clean water connection, a correctly looped drain and a level, secured fit under the counter. A range hood needs real venting to the outside β€” not a recirculating filter pretending β€” and an over-the-range microwave needs solid mounting into studs. Stacked laundry needs the pan, the strap kit and hoses that won't let go behind a wall you can't see.

This is classic single-visit work, and it's exactly the kind of job that's hard to book because it's too small for renovators and too fiddly for movers. We do these all week: one appliance, or the whole delivery day's worth hooked up at once.

One firm line: gas. Connecting or moving a gas range or dryer is TSSA-certified gas technician work in Ontario β€” no exceptions, and we route it that way. Hardwired appliances get a Licensed Electrical Contractor. Everything else β€” water, drain, venting, mounting, levelling β€” is bread and butter.

What affects the price

  • Whether connections exist already or need to be created β€” a first-ever dishwasher costs more than a swap
  • Gas versus electric β€” certified gas work is its own line item
  • Venting runs: a hood that vents through the roof or a long dryer duct takes real work
  • Cabinet modifications for size differences between old and new units
  • Stacking, pedestals and tight laundry closets
  • Old appliance removal, especially from basements and upper floors

Common questions

The store offers basic installation. Why book this instead?
Store installs are fine when everything about your kitchen is standard. They walk away the moment anything isn't β€” a valve that won't shut, a cabinet that needs trimming, a vent that doesn't exist. We handle the whole situation, whatever it turns out to be, which is usually why people call us after the store crew left.
Can you install a dishwasher where there's never been one?
Usually, if there's a cabinet bay to sacrifice next to the sink. The job is bigger β€” a water tee, a drain connection, an electrical supply β€” and parts of it belong to licensed trades, but it's a well-worn path. Send a photo of the sink cabinet and the space you have in mind.
My range hood just blows air back into the kitchen. Can that be fixed?
That's a recirculating setup, and yes β€” running a proper duct to the exterior is a very worthwhile upgrade, especially if you actually cook. The cost depends on the path out: straight through the wall behind the stove is simple; up through cabinets and out the roof is a longer day.
Who hooks up a gas stove?
A TSSA-certified gas technician β€” that's the law in Ontario and it isn't a formality. The connection gets leak-tested and done with the right fittings. When you book a gas appliance install through us, certified gas work is part of the package, not an add-on you have to chase.
Do you take the old appliance away?
If you want it gone, it's gone β€” say so when you request the quote so the crew comes ready. Old dishwashers and dryers are easy; a fridge coming out of a finished basement gets planned rather than improvised.
