Who installs a dishwasher in Canada, and what does each charge?
Every figure below was read on the company’s own page on November 11, 2026, during sale season, when store prices and offers change. Home Depot showed a Toronto postal code. Pixl’s price is the same in every city it serves.
| Provider | Listed price | Old dishwasher | When you pay | Labour warranty | Bought elsewhere? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Depot | $198.00 in the header, $189 plus tax in its FAQ | Disconnected and removed from its spot. Haul-away +$45 plus tax | At checkout | 1 year | No |
| Best Buy | Starting at $199.99. Permit fees may apply | Haul-away +$49.99 | Same order as the dishwasher | Not stated on the page | Yes, bought in store for one you own |
| RONA | Starting at $182 | Removed if required. Disposal extra | 50% when you sign, 50% before work starts, or all at signing | 1 year, with exceptions for certain services | Not stated |
| Costco | No hookup. The delivery team will not hook up or install a dishwasher | Will not haul away a dishwasher still installed | Not applicable | Costco adds a 2nd-year manufacturer warranty to the product | Not applicable |
| Pixl | $180 with a new water inlet hose | Disconnecting it is included. Taking it away is priced in your quote | After the job: card, e-transfer or cash | 30 days, per our Legal page | Yes. Any store or online |
Best Buy’s help page says installation is done by Quick Contractors, a third party, and must be booked at least one day after delivery. Home Depot says an installer calls within 24 hours of the order, and that delivery and install are separate visits.

Text a photo under the counter and the dishwasher model. You see one price before you book, and you pay after the job.
What do independent installers charge in Alberta, Ontario and BC?
These are companies that state a dishwasher price or flat rate on their own site. Insurance and review figures are not compared because they are self-declared. Ask any installer for a written quote that names what is included.
| Company | Where | Listed price | Warranty | Where you bought it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Appliance Outlet | Edmonton | $195, listed as including delivery, install and removal. A separate $145 line covers dishwasher, wall oven, hood or microwave installs | Not stated on the page | The $145 line is only for appliances bought there. No condition is stated on the $195 line |
| Pro-Installs | Edmonton and area, since 2005 | “Flat rate” wording, no dishwasher price on the page | “90 Day Warranty” heading, terms not shown | Not stated |
| Fast Repair Pro | Toronto and GTA | $250 plus HST, flat | 60 days, parts and labour | Any brand, bought anywhere |
| EasyFix | Greater Vancouver | $245, plus $50 to remove and dispose of the old unit, GST extra | 90 days on workmanship | Installs regardless of where it was bought |
| Pixl | Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver and other cities | $180, before tax | 30 days | Any store or online |
We did not find a Calgary independent that posts a dishwasher install price on its own website, so none is listed. Pixl’s Calgary price is the same $180. Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver pages are at Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver.
What does each dishwasher install price include?
| Item | Home Depot | Best Buy | RONA | Pixl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water supply | New supply line | Supply line and minor plumbing up to the existing source | Not itemized on the page | New water inlet hose |
| Shut-off valve | New valve not included | Installs a shut-off valve | Not itemized | Not listed. We check from your photo |
| Old dishwasher | Disconnected and removed. Haul-away extra | Haul-away extra | Removed if required. Disposal extra | Disconnected. Take-away in your quote |
| Electrical and plumbing changes | Not included | Not included beyond the valve | Same size and same lines advised, to avoid extra charges | Not included. Quoted first, or a plumber or electrician |
| Final check | Test run and demonstration | Turns on the hot water and checks connections | Test and a warranty review | Full test cycle and leak check |
Pixl carries $5M general liability insurance and has the permits needed for this work. We connect to the water, drain and power that are already there, level and secure the dishwasher and run a test cycle. One or two installers come depending on the job size.
What does a dishwasher swap cost in total?
These totals are planning estimates for replacing an old dishwasher, using each company’s listed price plus its listed haul-away, before tax. They are not quotes.
| Provider | How it adds up | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Home Depot | $198 + $45 haul-away (or $189 + $45 using the FAQ figure) | $243 (or $234) |
| Best Buy | $199.99 + $49.99 haul-away | $249.98 |
| RONA | $182 + disposal, price not shown | From $182 |
| EasyFix (Vancouver) | $245 + $50 removal | $295 plus GST |
| Fast Repair Pro (Toronto) | $250 flat | $250 plus HST |
| Pixl | $180, take-away priced in your quote | From $180 |
If your kitchen needs a longer drain hose and a kit, Pixl adds $30 for each: $180 + $30 + $30 = $240. If we also collect the dishwasher from the store and deliver it, add $80: $320. Those are the posted extras on our dishwasher installation page.
Why does Costco have no installation price?
Costco includes basic installation with delivery on select appliances bought online, but its own delivery page says it is not included with dishwashers. The delivery team will not hook up or install a dishwasher, and will not haul away one that is still installed. You still get the 2-year warranty extension on the dishwasher itself, so book a separate installer. Read the full breakdown in does Costco install appliances and TVs.
