Appliance Installation in Ottawa
We install new dishwashers, washers, dryers, fridges, electric ranges and over-the-range microwaves, level and test them, and show you how they work. Electric appliances only; we don't connect gas.
A new appliance is only as good as its installation. A dishwasher that was not levelled leaks at the door. A dryer vented with a crushed hose takes two cycles and fills the duct with lint. A fridge whose water line was pinched behind it never makes ice. Smart Appliance Service installs the appliances we repair, so the hookup is done the way a technician would want to find it later.
We disconnect and move the old unit, set the new one in place, connect water, drain, power and venting as the appliance needs, level it, and run a test cycle before we leave. Then we walk you through the controls and the care that keeps it out of trouble. We work on electric appliances only: electric ranges, wall ovens and dryers, never gas connections, which need a licensed gas technician.

What to have ready before we arrive
Check that the new appliance fits the opening, including the depth with doors and hoses behind it, and that the floor is level and clear. For a dishwasher, the water shut-off and the drain connection under the sink should be reachable. For a washer, the taps should turn, and for a dryer the vent should run to the outside. A fridge with an ice maker needs a water line nearby; if there is none, tell us when you book and we will discuss the options.
If the appliance is still in its box, leave it boxed. We unpack it, keep the fittings and manuals together, and take care of the packaging.
Electric only
We install and connect electric appliances: dishwashers, washers, electric dryers, fridges, electric ranges, wall ovens and over-the-range microwaves. We do not connect gas ranges, gas dryers or gas lines of any kind. Gas work in Ontario needs a licensed gas technician, and we will say so straight away so you can book the right trade.
Where an appliance needs a new outlet, a different plug or a circuit it does not have, that is an electrician's job, and we tell you before the visit rather than on the day.
How long an installation takes
A straightforward swap, old out and new in on the same connections, usually takes one to two hours. A dishwasher takes a little longer than a washer because of the drain loop and the fit under the counter. An over-the-range microwave takes longer again, since the mounting bracket and the vent have to line up.
If we find a connection that is not up to the job, such as a corroded shut-off valve or a vent full of lint, we tell you on the spot, quote the fix and let you decide. We leave the kitchen or laundry room clean and the appliance tested.

A new outlet, a different plug or a dedicated circuit is an electrician's job. Tell us the model when you book and we will let you know before the visit if the appliance needs something the space does not have.
