What affects the price
— Connection type. Plug-in swaps are cheapest; hardwired electrical and gas connections need licensed trades and cost more.
— New points or circuits. Running a new power circuit, water line or gas point can double the price of the job.
— Number of appliances. Installing several appliances in one visit is cheaper per item than separate call-outs.
— Removal and disposal. Taking away the old appliance usually adds $30–$80 per item.
— Access and cabinetry. Tight integrated cabinetry or trimming benchtops to fit adds labour time.
Tips before you post
— Gas appliances must be installed by a licensed gasfitter who issues a compliance certificate — keep it for insurance.
— Check the new appliance's dimensions and connection positions against your cavity before booking the install.
— Bundle several installs into one visit to save on call-out fees.
