What is checked before installation
Before moving washers into final position, Applicare checks the opening, access route, floor, required clearances, available connections, shutoffs, drain or vent path, and visible condition of the appliance. The appointment covers appliance installation using suitable existing services. Cabinet modification, new plumbing, gas piping, or new electrical circuits may require a separately licensed trade.
- Measure width, height, depth, door swing, and access route
- Confirm the model and manufacturer installation instructions
- Make sure shutoffs, receptacles, drains, or vents are accessible
Connection, leveling, and final testing
A washer needs stable flooring, correct leveling, accessible shutoff valves, sound fill hoses, a properly positioned drain hose, and enough clearance for movement and service. Shipping bolts must be removed where required before a test cycle. After positioning, the appliance is checked for stable operation and accessible future service. A final test is performed when utilities and the appliance permit it. Any visible leak, unusual noise, error, damaged connection, or building condition is explained before the appointment is closed.
- Stable and level placement
- Connections routed without crushing or sharp bends
- Doors, drawers, racks, and controls checked
- Test cycle or operating test where practical
Preparing for the appointment
Keep the installation manual, model number, supplied hoses, brackets, cords, hardware, and manufacturer accessories with the appliance. Clear the access route and remove stored items from the cabinet or laundry area. If the old appliance must be disconnected or moved, include that information when booking so the scope can be confirmed before arrival.
Transparent scope and warranty
The technician explains what can be completed with the existing connections and identifies additional work before proceeding. Installation cost depends on appliance type, access, removal needs, supplied hardware, connection condition, and required testing. Qualifying Applicare work includes a 90-day parts and labour warranty for the completed scope.

Excellent and quick service from two professionals who did a fantastic job fixing a botched dishwasher hookup and perfectly connected washer and dryer in a new house. Highly recommended!

I had an issue with my dryer and Lucas went above and beyond to fix the problem. He identified the issue right away, ordered the part, returned to install it, and cleaned the entire machine. Pricing was very reasonable and I would highly recommend Lucas and his company.
