How much does dishwasher installation cost?

Dishwasher installation with Pixl Canada costs $180 before tax, including a new water inlet hose. Most replacements need nothing else. If your drain hose is too short or you need an installation kit, those parts are $30 each, and we can pick your dishwasher up from the store and deliver it for $80.

What dishwasher installation includes

A dishwasher needs three connections: hot water, a drain and power. Our technician connects all three to what is already under your counter, secures the dishwasher to the counter or cabinets, levels it so the door closes straight, and runs a full cycle to check for leaks.

Every type of dishwasher

Dishwashers we install

We install standard 24-inch built-in dishwashers, 18-inch compact models, and panel-ready and integrated dishwashers that take a custom cabinet door. We replace old dishwashers and install new ones where the water, drain and power are already in place.

We work with all major brands, including Bosch, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire and Miele, bought at any store or online.

Dishwasher installation step by step

A professional dishwasher installation follows six steps and usually takes 1 to 2 hours. This is what our technician does in your kitchen:

  1. Shut off water and power. The hot water valve under the sink and the breaker for the dishwasher are turned off.
  2. Remove the old dishwasher. On a replacement, the water, drain and power are disconnected and the old unit slides out.
  3. Prepare the connections. A new water inlet hose goes on the hot water supply, and the drain gets a high loop or air gap as local plumbing codes require.
  4. Connect the new dishwasher. Water line with a 90-degree elbow, drain hose to the sink drain or disposal, and power to the outlet or junction box.
  5. Slide in, level and secure. The legs are adjusted so the door closes straight, and the brackets are fixed to the counter or cabinets.
  6. Test. A full cycle runs while every connection is checked for leaks and the dishwasher drains properly.

What affects the cost of dishwasher installation

Our $180 price covers a standard replacement where the water, drain and power are already under the counter. The price only changes when your kitchen needs something extra:

  • A longer drain hose ($30) or a separate water inlet hose ($25)
  • An installation kit with the elbow, power cord and fittings ($30)
  • Store pickup and home delivery of the dishwasher ($80)
  • No water, drain or power under the counter yet (quoted before we start)
  • Panel-ready models that need a custom cabinet panel fitted (quoted with your model number)

Replacing a dishwasher vs installing a new one

Replacing a dishwasher is the most common job. The old unit comes out and the new one uses the existing water, drain and power, so it fits in the $180 price. A first-time installation, where there was no dishwasher before, needs a 24-inch opening, a hot water line, a drain connection and a power supply. Send us a photo of the space and we tell you what is missing, and what it costs, before we book.

Signs of a bad dishwasher installation

If you already have a dishwasher and see any of these, the installation should be checked:

  • Water on the floor or under the dishwasher after a cycle
  • The door does not close straight or rubs on the cabinets
  • The dishwasher tips or moves when you pull out the rack
  • Dirty water stays in the bottom, or backs up into the sink
  • A loud hum or grinding noise while it drains, often from a kinked drain hose

We fix these on the same visit as a new install, or on their own. Contact us with a photo.

Dishwasher installation questions

Dishwasher installation with Pixl Canada costs $180 before tax, including a new water inlet hose. A 6-foot drain hose or an installation kit is $30 each if you need one, and store pickup and delivery is $80.

Most dishwasher installations take 1 to 2 hours. Replacing an old dishwasher where the water, drain and power are already in place is usually the fastest.

You can if you are comfortable working with water, drain and electrical connections. The most common problems are slow leaks under the dishwasher, a kinked drain hose and a unit that is not level. A professional install is checked for leaks with a full test cycle before we leave.

Some do. Many dishwashers in Canada are hardwired to a junction box, and others use a power cord plugged into an outlet under the sink. We connect either type to the power that is already there.

Usually not. Most dishwashers do not include the water supply hose, the 90-degree elbow or a power cord. That is why our $180 price includes a new water inlet hose, and an installation kit is $30 if you need one.
