Dishwasher replacement with Pixl Canada is $180 before tax, including a new water inlet hose. We disconnect the old dishwasher, slide the new one into the same opening, hook it to the water, drain and power that are already there, level it and run a test cycle. Extra parts and store pickup are listed below, the dishwasher itself is bought separately, and you pay after the job.

- Replacement price and the extras that change it
- Old unit versus new unit, connection by connection
- Six replacement totals, calculated
- When a licensed trade comes first
- $180 covers the swap itself, with a new water inlet hose and the old dishwasher disconnected.
- The new dishwasher reuses the water, drain and power already under the counter. If they are missing, that is quoted first and may need a licensed trade.
- Measure the old opening before you buy. Width is the check that most often decides whether the swap is simple.
- Extras are a $30 drain hose, a $30 installation kit and $80 for store pickup and delivery.
What does dishwasher replacement cost with Pixl?
One flat price covers the swap. Parts and pickup are separate lines, so you can see exactly what your kitchen needs. Canadian dollars, before tax.
| Item | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement with a new water inlet hose | $180 | Old unit disconnected and out, new unit connected, levelled and tested |
| Water inlet hose on its own | $25 | Already part of the $180 swap |
| Drain hose, 6 ft | $30 | Only if the existing drain hose is too short |
| Dishwasher installation kit | $30 | Elbow, power cord and fittings, if the new unit needs them |
| Store pickup and home delivery | $80 | We collect the dishwasher from the store and bring it to you |
| Taking the old dishwasher away | Free quote | Disconnecting it is in the $180. Hauling it off is priced separately |
| Included in the $180 | Not included |
|---|---|
| Shutting off the water and power, then disconnecting the old unit | The new dishwasher, tax, and any store delivery fee |
| A new water inlet hose to your hot water supply | A new water line, a new drain line or a new outlet, which go to a licensed trade |

Swap the dishwasher, pay after the job
Send the new model and a photo under the counter. Fixed price before you book.
What changes between the old dishwasher and the new one?
A replacement is easiest when the new unit lines up with what the old one used. This table shows each connection and what Pixl does with it.
| Connection | What the old unit left behind | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Water | A hose that may be old, stiff or weeping at the fitting | Fit the new inlet hose that is part of the $180 |
| Drain | A hose to the sink drain or disposal | Reuse it if it reaches and is not kinked, or add a 6 ft hose for $30 |
| Power | A cord or connection from the supply under the counter | Connect to that same supply. The $30 kit covers a cord or elbow the new unit lacks |
| Fixing | Brackets screwed to the counter or cabinet sides | Level the unit on its feet and secure it so it cannot tip when the door is open |
| Proof | No way to know until a cycle runs | Run a full cycle and watch every joint for drips |

Will the new dishwasher fit the old opening?
Measure the opening before you order. A few minutes with a tape measure avoids most surprises on the day.
| Check | What to look for | If it does not match |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Most openings are 24 inches wide. An 18-inch compact model is a different unit | Send us a photo and the model before you buy |
| Height and depth | Compare your opening with the cut-out size on the new unit’s spec sheet | Pick a model whose spec sheet fits, or ask us before you order |
| Door style | A standard front, or a panel-ready model that takes a cabinet door | Panel-ready models are quoted with the model number |
| Supply | Hot water shut-off, drain and power are under the counter and reachable | If any is missing, it is quoted first and may need a plumber or electrician |
Dimensions and electrical requirements vary by model. Check your product’s datasheet and manual.

How does booking a dishwasher replacement work?
- Send two photos and the model. One of the space under the counter with the old unit out or the cabinet door open, and one of the new dishwasher’s model label, to (587) 899-7495.
- Get a fixed price. We confirm the $180, add any listed parts you need and tell you if a licensed trade has to do something first.
- Pick a time. Open Monday to Saturday 8am to 8pm and Sunday 9am to 7pm. Same-day service is available when we have an opening.
- We swap and test. Old unit disconnected, new unit connected and levelled, full cycle run.
- You pay after the job by card, e-transfer or cash. Appliance installation has a 30-day warranty under our Legal page.
Ready to replace the old dishwasher?
Model number and one photo. Fixed price before you book. You pay after the job.
Who is this for, and when are we not the right option?
You are swapping a built-in dishwasher for a new one, with the hot water, drain and power already under the counter, and you bought the new unit from any store or online.
The kitchen has no dishwasher hookups yet, the cabinet opening needs changing, or you only need the old unit repaired. New water, drain or power lines go to a licensed trade, and this page prices the swap only.
Dishwasher replacement: frequently asked questions
How much does dishwasher replacement cost?
$180 before tax with Pixl Canada, including a new water inlet hose and disconnecting the old dishwasher. A drain hose or kit is $30 each, and store pickup and delivery is $80.
How long does a replacement take?
Most dishwasher installs take 1 to 2 hours, including the test cycle.
Do you take the old dishwasher away?
We disconnect it as part of the $180. Taking it away is priced in your free quote, so say so when you send your details.
Do I need a plumber to replace a dishwasher?
Not for a swap onto the water, drain and power that are already there. A new water line or drain line needs a licensed plumber, and a new circuit needs a licensed electrician.
Can you collect the new dishwasher from the store?
Yes. Store pickup and home delivery is $80. We install appliances and do not sell them, so you buy the dishwasher from any store or online.
What if the new dishwasher is a different size?
Send the model and a photo of the opening before you buy. A different width, a panel-ready front or a missing connection changes the job and is quoted before we book.
When do I pay?
After the job, by card, e-transfer or cash.
