What Appliance Installation Includes
A provider handles the full swap. They disconnect the old unit, set the new one, make the hookups, and test it.
Covered appliances include:
- Dishwashers: water line, drain, and electrical hookup.
- Refrigerators: water line for ice makers and water dispensers.
- Ranges and cooktops: gas or electric hookup, plus leveling.
- Wall ovens: cabinet fit check and electrical connection.
- Range hoods: ducted or recirculating, with electrical.
- Microwaves: over-the-range units need mounting and venting.
Hookups and haul-away basics are part of the conversation. Confirm both in your written scope before work starts.
Measure your openings before you shop. Standard dishwasher openings run 24 inches wide.
Ranges usually sit in a 30-inch space. The right measurements prevent a return trip.

How Much Does Appliance Installation Cost
These sourced ranges come from Angi (2026) and HomeAdvisor (2025 data):
| Appliance | Install cost |
|---|---|
| Dishwasher | $100 to $450 (Angi) |
| Refrigerator | $130 to $250 (HomeAdvisor) |
| Range | $105 to $125 (HomeAdvisor) |
| Cooktop | $70 to $155 (HomeAdvisor) |
| Wall oven | $200 to $225 (HomeAdvisor) |

Dishwasher extras: old-unit removal runs about $150. The total project including the unit spans $400 to $4,000, per Angi (2026).
What moves the price:
- Gas vs electric: gas hookups need a licensed pro and may need a permit.
- Cabinet or countertop mods: a new cooktop may need a countertop installation cutout change.
- Haul-away: confirm whether old-unit removal is included.
Value angle: Angi reports Energy Star appliances offer 70 to 80 percent ROI.
Local note: Richmond gas-line extension cost was not verified in our research. We do not publish a number for it. Ask the provider for a local quote.

Dishwasher Installation: What Happens on Install Day
Most dishwasher installs follow the same steps. Knowing them helps you prepare.
- Water off. The provider shuts off the water supply to the old unit.
- Old unit out. The old dishwasher is disconnected and removed. Removal runs about $150, per Angi (2026).
- New unit in. The new dishwasher slides into the opening. The provider checks the fit before connecting anything.
- Hookups. The water line, drain line, and electrical connections go in. Each is tested for leaks.
- Level and test. The unit is leveled, then run through a full cycle.
Clear the cabinet next to the dishwasher before the provider arrives. That is where the hookups live. Ask the provider to show you the leak test before they leave.
Range Hood Venting: Ducted vs Recirculating
Range hoods come in two types. Ducted hoods vent air outside through ductwork. Recirculating hoods filter the air and push it back into the kitchen.
Ducted hoods cost more to install because they need venting. They also remove more heat, smoke, and moisture. Recirculating hoods are simpler and cheaper, but they do less.
If your kitchen already has ductwork, a ducted hood is usually the better pick. If not, ask the provider what a new duct run would cost.
Gas Range Hookups: What Richmond Requires
Gas work has the strictest rules in the kitchen. Three sourced facts apply:
- Domestic listing required. The 2021 Virginia Residential Code prohibits installing cooking appliances listed only for commercial use in homes. Use a domestic-listed or dual-labeled unit, per the Virginia DHCD.
- Separate trade permit. A new gas line needs a separate trade permit in Richmond. Gas piping cannot ride on the residential building permit.
- Master license required. Virginia requires a master tradesman license for gas contracting, per Va. Code 54.1-1100.
Verify any pro at the DPOR License Lookup before hiring. Permit applications go through the City of Richmond Online Permit Portal.

Example: A Dishwasher and Range Swap in Henrico
This is a fictional example, not a completed job. It shows how a typical project flows.
You own a 2000s home in Henrico. The dishwasher is dead. You also want to swap the electric range for gas.
A provider typically disconnects and hauls the old dishwasher. Then they set the new one with fresh water and drain hookups.
For the range, the provider checks whether a gas line exists. If not, a new line needs a licensed pro and a separate trade permit.
Cost follows the sourced facts: dishwasher install $100 to $450, removal about $150 (Angi 2026). Gas-line extension pricing was not verified locally, so the provider quotes it on-site.
What you can do first: check the appliance labels for domestic listing. Photograph the current hookups.
Then call for a free referral to a local provider. We cover Henrico, Short Pump, Glen Allen, Midlothian, and Chesterfield.
