Our Recent Installations Across Toronto
We take pride in our local work. Last month, we completed a tricky kitchen appliance installation in a beautiful Riverdale condo. The homeowner purchased a high-end Bosch dishwasher, but the existing plumbing was outdated. We updated the water supply valve, installed a proper drain loop, and had the unit running perfectly within an hour.
A few weeks ago, we installed a new appliance for a growing family in Leslieville. They needed a stacked washer and gas dryer setup in a very tight second-floor laundry closet. We carefully navigated the narrow staircase, secured the stacking kit, tested the gas connections with a specialized detector, and ensured the venting was clear and safe.
What Is Included in Professional Appliance Installation
Professional appliance installation covers the complete setup process, from coordinating delivery and removing your old unit to precise positioning, connecting all necessary utilities, and thorough safety testing.
When you hire us for professional appliance installation in Toronto, you can expect a white-glove experience. It is not just about plugging something in and walking away.
Delivery coordination and scheduling
Timing is everything. We work closely with you to coordinate the arrival of your new unit so that our team is there exactly when you need us. No waiting around all day, wondering when the technician will show up. We value your time and keep the scheduling straightforward.
Connections: water lines, gas hookups, and electrical
This is where DIY projects usually hit a wall. Hooking up water lines for fridges and dishwashers requires precision to avoid slow leaks. Gas hookups demand specialized knowledge to ensure there are zero safety hazards. Our technicians are fully equipped to handle complex electrical wiring, secure gas connections, and leak-proof water lines, keeping your home safe and up to code.
Testing and safety verification
We do not just turn the machine on and hope for the best. After the appliance setup and installation, we run a complete diagnostic cycle. We check for proper drainage, secure electrical grounds, and correct operating temperatures. We make sure the machine operates quietly and efficiently before we even think about packing up our tools.
Old appliance removal and disposal
Saying goodbye to a broken unit should not be your headache. As part of our service, we can safely disconnect your old machine and haul it away. We ensure it is disposed of or recycled in accordance with Toronto’s environmental guidelines, so you don’t have to make a trip to the dump.
The Appliance Installation Process
We believe in doing things right the first time. To safely install appliances, Toronto homes demand a rigorous, step-by-step approach that leaves no room for error.
Before we move anything, we assess the site. We measure the space to confirm the new unit will fit, check the existing electrical and plumbing connections, and verify that the pathway from your front door to the installation spot is clear. We lay down protective floor coverings to keep your hardwood or tiles pristine.
We carefully disconnect the power, water, or gas from your old unit. We cap off lines securely to prevent any temporary leaks or hazards, then gently extract the old machine without scratching your floors or denting your cabinets.
This is where the real work happens. We maneuver your new purchase into place. We connect the dedicated water lines, secure the exhaust vents, or wire the electrical connections. If we are installing a range, we always install the manufacturer-provided anti-tip bracket, a crucial safety step that is far too often skipped by amateurs.
We do not cut corners on safety. For gas appliances, we perform thorough gas leak testing using both an electronic combustible gas detector and a traditional soapy water test at all connection points. We verify electrical grounding with a multimeter to prevent shock hazards and ensure that all water connections are double-sealed to prevent leaks.
Once connected, we run the appliance through a short test cycle. We check that the dishwasher fills and drains, the oven reaches the target temperature, and the dryer heats up. Finally, we walk you through the basic operations of your new machine, hand over the manuals, and clean up all packaging debris.
Appliances We Install
Are you looking for an appliance installer that Toronto residents recommend? We handle a wide variety of household units. Every machine has its own quirks, and our team has the hands-on experience to safely tackle them all.
Dishwashers
Dishwasher installation in Toronto homes often requires tight spaces and tricky plumbing. We carefully connect the water supply, secure the drain hose with a proper high loop to prevent backflow, and hardwire or plug in the unit, ensuring it sits perfectly flush with your cabinetry.
Refrigerators and freezers
From standard top-freezer models to massive built-in smart fridges, we handle the heavy lifting. We level the unit so the doors close smoothly, connect the water line for the ice maker, and test the dispenser to ensure there are no hidden leaks behind the fridge.
Ranges, ovens, and cooktops
Kitchen appliance installation in Toronto often centres around the cooking space. Whether it is a slide-in electric range or a built-in gas cooktop, we ensure proper ventilation, secure anti-tip brackets, and verify that the power supply matches the manufacturer’s specifications.
Washers and dryers
Laundry room setups can be surprisingly complex. We handle washing machine water connections and ensure the unit is perfectly level to prevent violent shaking during the spin cycle. For dryer installation, Toronto residents can count on us to safely connect exhaust vents and handle both electric and gas dryer setups with strict adherence to fire safety codes.
Range hoods and microwaves
Proper ventilation is crucial for a healthy home. We install over-the-range microwaves and custom range hoods, ensuring the exhaust is routed correctly outside or properly filtered for ductless systems, and that the units are securely mounted to the wall or cabinetry.
Appliance Installation Cost in Toronto: What to Expect
Most appliance installations in Toronto range from $150 to $400, depending on appliance type and complexity. We believe in clear, upfront pricing so you are never caught off guard when the job is done.
Installation cost by appliance type
A standard electric refrigerator or washing machine setup sits at the lower end of the pricing spectrum, as the connections are generally straightforward. Built-in appliances like dishwashers, wall ovens, or custom range hoods require more labour and sit in the mid-to-high range.
Factors that affect installation cost
The primary factor is the utility connection. Gas appliances cost more to install due to the strict Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) requirements and the specialized licensing required to handle gas lines. Accessibility also plays a role. If a unit needs to be carried up three flights of narrow stairs or requires modifications to your existing cabinetry, the cost will adjust to reflect the extra time. Additionally, if you need new hoses, custom venting, or upgraded electrical outlets, these parts will affect the final price.
What’s included in our installation fee
Our transparent fee covers the travel to your home, the physical placement and levelling of the unit, standard connections to existing, up-to-code utilities, and comprehensive safety testing. We provide a detailed quote before we start any work, ensuring smooth sailing from start to finish.

What Toronto Homeowners Say
Do not just take our word for it. Here is what your neighbours are saying:
Natasa
Highly recommend iCare appliance repair. I got a call right away from a professional who helped identify the problem and arranged for a repair person. The repair person arrived, again very professional, diagnosed the issue and already acquired the part based on my initial conversation so the repair was done right away.
Izhak Goldhaber
Absolutely exceptional service. They came right away, on the weekend, diagnosed the problem and had new parts installed the next day. Super professional. The repair person even showed me a few things I need to do to prevent problems in the future. iCare is my go-to for appliance repairs. 10/10!!!
Rui Juan Li
Efficient and excellent service! Highly recommend. Our Whirlpool washer broken down while in warranty, and Igor from iCare was sent by Whirlpool to fix it. We are impressed by he's expertise. He's also a great communicator, speaking multiple languages. We appreciate his help!
Anna C.
Stunned that there's a repair company this fantastic operating in the GTA in 2024. My call was taken promptly. The person on the other end of the line was friendly and knowledgeable. I'm extremely grateful that there are people this conscientious and talented getting it done out there every day.
Christina Shmordok
My LG fridge stopped working, so I made an appointment through the LG website with iCare. The technician was here on time and it turned out that the compressor had a crack in it. The tech had welded it and the fridge thankfully started working again. I would definitely use this company again if needed.
Fiona
The condenser went in my refrigerator. It was a 4 year old appliance I inherited when we moved into the condo. We didn't have a receipt but was told it was under warranty and the age of the appliance. We were told we would just have to pay for the labour. We thought $600.00 plus tax high for 1 1/2 work but the service man was very good.
