Why Calgary homeowners book this
Delivery crews are not responsible for leveling
Retail delivery contracts cover transportation and placement — nothing more. The crew that drops off your washer is not responsible for leveling it, connecting the vent hose or fitting the anti-tip bracket. Those steps are yours to arrange, and skipping them affects both safety and the appliance warranty.
Anti-tip brackets are required by Canadian safety code
A freestanding range without an anti-tip bracket can tip forward when the oven door is opened under load — a serious injury risk, particularly with children in the kitchen. The bracket is required by Canadian building code and most appliance warranties are voided without it installed.
Unlevel washers damage drum bearings over time
A washing machine that vibrates excessively or walks during the spin cycle is placing repeated stress on the drum bearings and suspension. What feels like an annoyance today becomes a repair bill in a year or two. Proper leveling takes 20 minutes and prevents the damage entirely.
What is included
- Level all four feet with a spirit level in both directions
- Adjust feet until the machine reads level in all planes
- Tighten lock nuts on all adjustable feet to hold position
- Source and fit anti-tip bracket anchored to floor for freestanding ranges
- Connect dryer vent hose with proper clamp at both ends
- Check vent hose for kinks, sharp bends or overly long runs
- Secure dishwasher to the underside of the counter with mounting brackets
- Confirm water supply connections are snug and leak-free
- Test run through one cycle to verify operation
- Check for vibration or walking during spin cycle
- Advise on stacking kit requirements if applicable
- Document all steps completed for your records

Who books this service
New appliance just delivered
Delivery crews drop off and leave. We come in after them to level all four feet, connect the vent hose properly and fit the anti-tip bracket so everything is actually safe and ready to use.
Moving into a home
Appliances left behind by previous owners are rarely level. We check and adjust every unit in the home in a single visit — washer, dryer, fridge and range — so you start right.
Washer walking during spin
A washer that moves during the spin cycle is off-level and will damage its drum bearings over time. We level all four feet and lock them down so the machine stays where it belongs.
Dryer taking 2+ cycles to dry
A kinked, loose or overly long vent hose is the most common cause of poor dryer performance. We connect the hose properly, check the run length and make sure the exterior cap is functioning.
Rental property appliance setup
Landlords need appliances set up correctly for tenant safety and to protect their investment. We handle leveling, bracketing and vent connections so the setup is done right before tenants move in.
Stacking washer and dryer in a closet
Stacking requires a model-specific stacking kit and careful leveling of the combined unit. Have the kit ready and we will handle the rest — including the vent hose and securing the stack.
What to have ready before we arrive
A couple of simple things to sort before our visit make the job faster and mean we can handle everything in one trip.
Have the appliance in its final position before we arrive
We do not move heavy appliances. If the delivery crew left it in the wrong spot or if it needs to go in a closet or alcove, arrange that before booking. We work on the leveling and connection once the unit is where it needs to be.
Know where the dryer vent exits the home
Most dryer vents exit through the wall directly behind the dryer or through the floor. Condos sometimes exit through the roof or a shared duct. Knowing the exit point helps us bring the right hose length and fittings on the first visit.
Clear the area around each appliance for access
We need to get behind and underneath appliances to level feet and connect hoses. Clear any stored items from around the units and make sure there is enough room to pull each appliance slightly away from the wall where needed.
Tip: If you are stacking a washer and dryer, confirm the stacking kit is the correct model for your exact units — not all kits are cross-compatible even within the same brand.
★★★★★Google Review“Delivery left our washing machine completely off-level and the dryer vent hose was just draped behind the machine without any clamps. Steve adjusted all four feet on the washer, secured the dryer vent hose and both machines have run perfectly since. Should have done this the day delivery left.”
Anti-tip brackets are required by Alberta building code
A freestanding range without an anti-tip bracket can tip forward when the oven door is opened with weight on it — a serious injury risk, particularly with young children in the kitchen. Alberta building code and appliance manufacturer warranties both require the bracket to be installed. Most delivery crews do not fit them.
Delivery crews are not installers — they are responsible for getting the appliance inside and nothing more. Leveling and bracketing is your responsibility, and it directly affects both safety and warranty validity.

Frequently asked questions
Why do delivery crews not level appliances?
Delivery crews are contracted to transport and place appliances — not to install them. Their job ends when the appliance is inside and in position. Leveling, anti-tip bracketing and vent connections are installation steps not included in standard delivery, regardless of what the retailer implies.
What is an anti-tip bracket and why do I need it?
An anti-tip bracket is a metal clip anchored to the floor that slots into the rear leg of a freestanding range. It prevents the range from tipping forward when the oven door is opened under load. Alberta building code and appliance manufacturer warranties both require it to be installed.
How do I know if my washer is level?
The clearest sign is a washer that moves, walks or vibrates heavily during the spin cycle. You can also place a spirit level on top of the drum — it should read level in both directions. If the machine rocks when you push the corners, at least one foot needs adjustment.
Can you connect a dryer to a gas line?
No. Gas line connections require a licensed gas fitter. We handle the dryer vent hose — the exhaust duct from the back of the dryer to the exterior — but we do not touch gas supply lines. If you need a gas connection, we will tell you so you can have the right trade handle that portion.
What is a stacking kit?
A stacking kit is a model-specific bracket that joins a dryer to the top of a washer for vertical installation in a closet or tight space. They are not universal — you need the kit designed for your exact washer and dryer models. Have the kit on hand before booking and we will handle the rest.
How long does appliance leveling take?
A single appliance leveling typically takes 20–30 minutes including adjustment, lock-nut tightening and a level check. Multiple appliances in a single visit are more efficient — we can often handle a full home set in under 90 minutes.
Can you mount a dishwasher that slides out?
Yes. Dishwasher mounting involves securing the unit to the underside of the counter with brackets so it does not slide forward during the door pull. This takes about 30 minutes and is a standard part of our appliance install service.
Does leveling really matter for washers?
Yes. An unlevel washer vibrates excessively during the spin cycle, stressing the drum bearings and suspension. Over time this causes premature failure. It also causes the machine to walk across the floor, which can kink or disconnect water supply hoses.
Do you move the appliance into position?
No. We do not move heavy appliances. Have the appliance in its final position before we arrive — delivery crews or a moving company can handle this. We work on leveling, connection and safety steps once the appliance is where it needs to be.
What if my vent hose is too long?
Dryer vent hose runs should be as short and straight as possible. Every additional foot and every bend reduces airflow and increases lint buildup. If the run is too long for the space, we advise on options — including whether a booster fan might help or whether the vent exit location needs to change.
New appliance sitting unlevel?
Not satisfied with the work? I will come back and make it right.
