Pricing guide

Cost is mainly driven by whether the job is a straightforward plug-in replacement or requires licensed hardwiring, gas work or integrated cabinet work. Quotes commonly combine a callout fee, hourly labour and materials, with additional allowances for compliance, specialist parts or follow-up visits. After-hours attendance or complex site or cabinet modifications typically increase the overall price.

  • Callout fee and labour time

    Quotes usually combine a callout charge with an hourly labour rate and the time spent on site.

  • Need for licensed trades

    Jobs that require hardwiring or gas connections typically add a registered electrician or gasfitter plus time for compliance paperwork.

  • Appliance type and complexity

    Simple plug-in appliances are generally quicker to replace than integrated, specialist or heavy units that need precise mounting.

  • Cabinet and site modification

    Built-in or integrated installs often need cabinet trimming, panel alignment or a possible return visit for supplied panels.

  • Parts and specialist components

    Standard hoses and consumables are usually allowed for, while specialist parts or benchtop/joinery work are typically quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the installation take?
Standard plug-in replacements are typically completed in a single visit. Integrated or built-in installations usually take longer and may require a second visit if panels or cabinet modifications are needed.
Do hardwired or gas installs need registration?
Work that involves hardwiring or gas connections generally requires a registered electrician or gasfitter. Such jobs usually include additional trades time and compliance requirements.
Will I get compliance paperwork or certificates?
For licensed installations, installers typically allow time for compliance testing and paperwork where required. It's advisable to confirm with the provider whether certification is included in their quote.
What should I prepare before the installer arrives?
Clear access around the appliance and ensure existing power or gas points are accessible, and let the installer know about any cabinet panels or benchtop details. If panels or custom trim are needed, mention this up front so a return visit can be anticipated.
