Top Appliance Installation Services in Columbus

Appliance installation costs around $200 on average, and most installations total between $75 and $600. Some cost factors to consider that can increase your price toward the higher end of that range include the following:

• You need to pay for long-distance delivery.

• Your installers need to maneuver up or down stairs or around tight corners.

• Your appliance needs to be connected to a natural gas line or water line.

• Your appliance requires extra parts for a proper connection, like an ice maker hook-up kit.

• Your appliance is oversized.

Choosing the right appliance installation company involves finding an installer with a positive reputation among past customers, works with your specific appliances, and won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty. We recommend you ask the following questions to any installer you’re considering hiring:

• Are you fully insured?

• Can you handle the gas line or water line connection I need?

• Are you certified by my appliance manufacturer for installation?

• Do you have any customer references I can call?

• How many years have you been in business?

• Do you offer discounts if I need multiple appliances installed?

In most cases, it’s worth hiring a professional installer to place and connect your appliances. Appliances like a washer and dryer are heavy and bulky, so they can be dangerous and challenging to maneuver into your home, especially if you have to move up or down stairs. Some appliance manufacturers might void your warranty or portions of it if your appliance is installed incorrectly, which is more likely to happen with a DIY installation. Additionally, any appliances requiring connections to gas or water lines should only be handled by professional installers for safety reasons.

Most appliance retailers have dedicated installation teams that can tackle the delivery and installation process simultaneously. Unfortunately, just because a retailer sells a specific appliance brand doesn’t mean that its installation technicians are certified by that manufacturer to complete the installation. You could end up with a voided warranty if the installer isn't certified, costing more money down the road. It’s best to find an installer that is certified by your appliance manufacturer, even if it means paying more or dealing with potential scheduling conflicts.

It’s not necessary to tip appliance installers, but it is a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their hard work. It’s especially a good idea if your team has to haul your appliance up stairs or through tight areas and around corners without damaging your home. Tipping each installation team member between $10 and $15 is a great way to thank them for a job well done.
