What Washer and Dryer Installation May Include

Positioning and Levelling
Positioning the appliances within the prepared laundry area and adjusting accessible levelling feet where applicable.
Washer Water Connections
Connecting compatible hot and cold water hoses to accessible, suitable household shutoff valves.

Positioning the washer drain hose within a suitable standpipe or laundry drain arrangement.

Measure Before Delivery
Confirm the Appliances Fit the Laundry Area
The washer and dryer must fit through every doorway, hallway, stairway or elevator along the delivery route. The final space must also provide room for hoses, power cords, venting and normal appliance movement.
Before installation, confirm:
- The width, height and depth of each appliance
- The doorway, hallway and stairway dimensions
- The space behind the appliances for hoses and venting
- Door-swing and control-panel clearance
- Overhead space for top-load washer lids
- Ceiling height for stacked configurations
- The floor condition and appliance weight capacity
- Condo elevator and loading-area requirements
Do not rely only on the width of the visible laundry opening. Include plumbing fixtures, baseboards, doors and ventilation connections in the measurements.
Prepare for the Installation Appointment
- Confirm that both appliances have been delivered.
- Inspect each appliance for visible shipping damage.
- Keep manuals, hoses and supplied hardware available.
- Clear the route from the entrance to the laundry area.
- Remove laundry products and stored items from the space.
- Provide access to the household shutoff valves.
- Provide access to the electrical panel if requested.
- Confirm whether the old appliances must be disconnected.
- Secure pets and children away from the work area.
Separate Site Work May Be Required
A standard laundry installation may not include major property modification or creation of new household services.
- New electrical circuits or receptacles
- Repair or relocation of water shutoff valves
- Creation or alteration of a laundry drain
- New gas piping or gas-connection relocation
- New exterior dryer ductwork or wall penetrations
- Repair of damaged or unsuitable dryer venting
- Cabinet, countertop or structural modification
- Floor repair or reinforcement
Discuss known connection or access problems before the appointment whenever possible.
Stacked Laundry Installation
Washer and Dryer Stacking Requirements
Not every washer and dryer can be stacked together. The appliances must be compatible, and the correct stacking kit must match the specific models.
Stacked installation may depend on:
- Compatible washer and dryer model numbers
- The correct model-specific stacking kit
- Suitable ceiling and closet clearances
- Access to water, drain, power and vent connections
- A stable and reasonably level floor
- Door clearance and service access
- Condo or property installation restrictions
The dryer is normally positioned above a compatible front-load washer. Appliances should not be stacked using improvised brackets, shelves or straps.
Dryer Connections
Dryer Power, Venting and Gas Requirements
A dryer must match the available household connection. Electric dryers may require a suitable high-voltage receptacle and compatible power cord. Vented dryers require an appropriate exhaust path to the exterior.
The vent connection should not be crushed, sharply kinked or used to compensate for an unsuitable appliance position. Restricted airflow can increase drying time and heat within the appliance.
Gas-dryer installation depends on the existing gas connection, appliance requirements and service availability. New, damaged or relocated gas piping may require separate gas-line service .
Do not modify an electrical receptacle, create an exterior vent opening or disconnect household gas fittings without the appropriate service.
Our Washer and Dryer Installation Process
A clear process helps identify connection or compatibility problems before the appliances are placed and connected.
Confirm the Appliances
Provide both model numbers, dryer fuel type, configuration and installation address.
Inspect the Laundry Area
The installer checks accessible water, drainage, power, venting, gas and space conditions.
Review Requirements
Missing components, connection problems or additional site work are explained before installation proceeds.
Install and Test
When the site is suitable, the appliances are positioned, connected, levelled and checked for basic operation.
Washer and Dryer Installation Cost
Pricing depends on the appliance configuration, connections, access and work required at the property.

Disconnection depends on the appliances, connection types and booking scope. Request and confirm old-appliance disconnection before the appointment.
