How Much Does Dishwasher Installation Cost in British Columbia?
Typical cost in British Columbia
$330
$200 low · $500 high
Hookup price into existing water, drain and power: labour and fittings, with the appliance supplied by you · Updated July 2026
Installing a dishwasher in British Columbia costs $200 to $500 installed, and most homeowners pay around $330 for a straight swap into a cabinet that already has the connections. Same tank, same code — but a different bill depending on where the truck parks. Labour rates swing roughly 15% end to end across the province: a job that averages $300 in Prince George runs about $400 in West Vancouver.
One thing that doesn't change anywhere in the province: gas work needs a licensed gasfitter, full stop. Permits mostly run through Technical Safety BC, though several cities — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Kelowna, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge — run their own gas permit programs; each city guide names who issues the permit there.
