Washer & Dryer Installation in Ontario

Swapping a washer or dryer sounds like a five-minute job until the old shut-off valve won't budge, the dryer vent is crushed behind the machine, or the new stackable kit needs the units lined up just right. Getting it done properly means no leaks, no lint building up in the vent, and machines that sit level so they don't walk across the floor on a spin cycle.

We handle straight swaps, first-time hookups, and stacking a dryer on top of a washer with the manufacturer's kit. That includes connecting the water lines and drain on the washer and sorting the dryer's exhaust so it vents outside the way it should β€” a blocked or disconnected dryer vent is a real fire risk, not just a nuisance.

One thing to know up front: if you've got a gas dryer, the gas connection has to be made by a licensed, TSSA-certified gas technician. We route that part accordingly. Tell us what you're installing and you'll get a free quote.

Common questions

Can you stack my washer and dryer?
As long as the two units are stackable and you have (or we supply) the correct manufacturer's stacking kit, yes. Not every pair stacks β€” the kit is model-specific β€” so tell us the makes and models and we'll confirm before the visit.
My dryer vent is a mess behind the machine. Can you sort it?
That's worth doing. A crushed or clogged vent makes the dryer work harder and is a genuine fire hazard from lint buildup. We can connect it properly with rigid or semi-rigid duct and clear what's back there while the machine's pulled out.
I have a gas dryer β€” can you connect it?
We'll handle the venting, levelling and placement, but the gas line connection itself has to be made by a TSSA-certified gas technician under Ontario rules. We route that part to the right person rather than making a connection we're not certified for.
Should the old rubber hoses be replaced?
If your washer is still on old rubber fill hoses, replacing them with braided stainless lines is a cheap bit of insurance β€” burst rubber hoses are one of the most common causes of laundry-room floods. We'll swap them as part of the install if you'd like.
