Where the line sits

What we can connect, and what needs a licensed trade

In NSW, connecting an appliance to the water supply is plumbing work and hardwiring one is electrical work. Both need a licensed tradesperson by law — not because it’s difficult, but because the consequences of getting it wrong are a flooded floor or a live chassis.

Plenty of appliance work isn’t either of those things. Reconnecting a washing machine to the taps it was designed to plug into is a different job from installing a new water outlet. Here’s exactly where we stop.

We handle

  • Washing machines onto existing laundry taps
  • Fridges and freezers, positioned and levelled
  • Vented and condenser dryers into a power point
  • Dryer wall brackets fitted and mounted
  • Dishwashers back onto an existing connection point
  • Microwaves, kettles and benchtop appliances
  • Plug-in appliances into existing power points
  • Disconnecting anything safely before a move
  • Refitting transit bolts and draining hoses
  • Levelling, door reversal and anti-tip brackets

If there’s already a tap, a waste point and a power point where the appliance goes, it’s almost always a job we can do.

Needs a licensed trade

  • New water outlets or waste points
  • Hardwired appliances — ovens, cooktops, some range hoods
  • Anything gas, without exception
  • New or altered electrical circuits and power points
  • Ducted range hood installation through a wall or roof
  • Plumbed fridge water and ice-maker lines
  • Built-in and integrated appliance fit-outs
  • Cutting or modifying benchtops and cabinetry

We’ll tell you which trade you need and what to ask for. Doing this work unlicensed voids your appliance warranty and your home insurance, which is a far bigger problem than the call-out fee.

What we handle

Appliances we disconnect, move and reconnect

The heavy, awkward, water-connected things that everyone leaves until last on moving day.

Washing machines

Transit bolts refitted, hoses drained, reconnected to existing taps and run-tested.

Fridges & freezers

Moved upright, positioned in the cavity, levelled, doors reversed if needed.

Dryers

Plug-in vented and condenser dryers, including wall brackets and mounting.

Dishwashers

Reconnected where a connection point already exists. New installs need a plumber.

Freestanding ovens

Moved and positioned with anti-tip brackets. Connection is a licensed job.

Microwaves

Benchtop and over-range units, plugged in and set up.

Range hoods

Plug-in units removed and refitted. Hardwired or ducted needs an electrician.

Office appliances

Fridges, coffee machines and dishwashers in a commercial move.

Pricing

How appliance installation is priced

Appliance work booked with a move is usually part of the moving quote. Booked on its own it’s priced per appliance, with several in one visit costing far less per item than a single call-out.

Hoses and fittings

Plus brackets where needed

Number of appliances

Four in one visit costs much less per item than one call-out.

Whether connections exist

An existing tap and waste point is a reconnect. Nothing there is a plumber’s job.

Access

Stairs, tight laundries and appliances built into cabinetry take longer.

Condition of fittings

Perished hoses and seized taps get replaced rather than reused.

Removal of the old unit

Taking the old appliance away is a separate line, not a surprise one.

Booked with a move

Bundled into a moving job, it’s the cheapest way to have it done.

The cheap version of this job is the expensive one

A washing machine hose that isn’t seated properly doesn’t leak on day one. It weeps behind the machine for a fortnight, and the first anyone knows is a swollen kickboard or a bill from the neighbour downstairs.

That’s the whole reason we run a fill, drain and leak check before leaving. It adds ten minutes to the job and it’s the difference between an appliance that’s connected and one that’s connected properly.

How it works

How an appliance install runs

  1. Tell us what’s moving

    Which appliances, and whether anything is gas or hardwired. Written quote back within two hours.

  2. Disconnected properly

    Taps off, hoses drained, power isolated and transit bolts fitted before anything leaves the laundry.

  3. Moved upright

    Strapped, padded and kept upright on the truck, with the floors protected at both ends.

  4. Reconnected and tested

    Plumbed back in, levelled, run briefly and checked for leaks before we leave.

Why UNN

Four things most appliance services won’t give you

  1. Real-time GPS tracking

    A live link to the van, so you’re not holding a whole morning for a one-hour job.

  2. On-time guarantee

    If we book a slot, we’re in it. No four-hour windows and no no-shows.

  3. No cancellation fees

    Delivery delayed or settlement moved? Reschedule at no charge.

  4. One dedicated coordinator

    The same person across the move and the reconnection, so nothing falls between two bookings.

Coverage

Appliance installation anywhere in Sydney

We cover every suburb in the Sydney metro from our Parramatta base, and most appliance work is booked alongside a move rather than on its own. Apartments are the jobs that need the most notice — a French-door fridge has to fit the service lift as well as the kitchen, and buildings that require a lift booking or a certificate of currency want that arranged before the day rather than at the security desk.

Questions

Can you do a dishwasher installation?

How much does appliance installation cost in Sydney?
It depends on what’s already there. If the dishwasher space has an existing water connection, waste point and power point — which it will if you’re replacing a dishwasher or reconnecting after a move — that’s a reconnect and we can do it. If there’s no connection point yet and one needs to be created, that’s plumbing work and needs a licensed plumber under NSW law. Tell us which situation you’re in and we’ll tell you straight away.
Can you do a range hood installation?
Only where the unit is plug-in and the ducting already exists — we can take an old one out and fit a like-for-like replacement. Most range hood installation, including anything hardwired or where ducting has to be run through a wall or roof, is licensed electrical work and often building work as well. We’ll tell you which yours is before you book so you’re not paying for a wasted visit.
How much does appliance installation cost?
Booked with a move it’s usually part of the moving quote rather than an extra. Booked on its own it’s priced per appliance, and several in one visit costs far less per item than a single call-out. What changes the price is whether the connections already exist and how tight the access is. Tell us the appliances and we’ll quote within two hours.
Can you connect my washing machine?
Yes, to existing laundry taps and waste. That’s the most common appliance job we do. We refit the transit bolts before the move, drain the hoses, reconnect at the other end, level the machine on its feet and run a fill and drain cycle to check for leaks before leaving. If the inlet hoses are perished we replace them rather than reusing them.
Why do transit bolts matter?
A washing machine drum hangs on springs and dampers. Moved without the transit bolts refitted, the drum swings against the casing and can damage the bearings or the suspension, and manufacturers routinely decline warranty claims for exactly this. If you’ve lost the original bolts, tell us when you book and we’ll sort it out.
Do you install ovens and cooktops?
We can move and position them, and fit anti-tip brackets on freestanding ovens. We don’t connect them. Electric ovens and cooktops are usually hardwired, which is licensed electrical work, and anything gas requires a licensed gas fitter without exception. We’ll tell you which trade to book and what to ask for.
Do you work with gas appliances?
No. Gas work in NSW requires a licensed gas fitter, full stop — and unlike most licensing rules, this one exists because getting it wrong can kill people. We’ll disconnect nothing gas and connect nothing gas. If your cooktop or heater needs moving, arrange a gas fitter to isolate it before the move and reconnect after.
Can you plumb in a fridge with an ice maker?
We can connect one to an existing plumbed water point behind the fridge. If there isn’t one, running a new water line is plumbing work and needs a licensed plumber. It’s a common one to get caught by — plenty of kitchens have the space for a plumbed fridge but no water point behind it.
Do you take the old appliance away?
Yes, as a separate line on the quote. Old whitegoods can’t go in a council pickup in most areas and fridges need degassing before disposal, so they go through a proper e-waste and metal recycling stream. See rubbish removal.see rubbish removal
Do I need to defrost the fridge first?
Yes please, at least 24 hours beforehand, and empty it. A fridge that hasn’t been defrosted leaks meltwater across the truck and into whatever is stacked beside it. It also needs to stand upright for a few hours after the move before being switched on, so the compressor oil settles.
Can you install a dryer on the wall?
Yes, where the wall will take it. Wall-mounting a dryer needs the bracket fixed into studs or a masonry anchor, not just plasterboard. We check what’s behind the wall before drilling, and if it won’t hold safely we’ll tell you rather than mounting it anyway.
What if you find something that needs a licensed trade?
We tell you what it is, which trade you need and what to ask them for, and we do everything else in the meantime. You’re not charged for the part we can’t do. It’s worth saying plainly: unlicensed plumbing or electrical work voids your appliance warranty and can void your home insurance if it causes damage, which costs far more than the trade call-out you avoided.
