How we priced this: the figures are Best Buy's own list prices on the service listings linked in the table, read November 2026. Best Buy confirms the final price per appliance and ZIP code in the cart, sale events change it, and the free-installation offer below waives install labor on qualifying models. Check your cart before you buy.
What the Geek Squad install covers
Per Best Buy's install listing, the installer will:
- Disconnect the existing dishwasher from the electrical outlet, water line and drain
- Connect the new dishwasher to water, drain and electrical
- Drill for a side mount if needed and secure the dishwasher to the cabinetry or countertop where the manufacturer requires it
- Level the unit and test it
- Clean up the work area and answer your questions
Not included: a new dishwasher installation kit (required, sold separately, because the existing kit cannot be reused), haul-away of the old unit (an additional fee), changes to the cabinetry needed to get the old dishwasher out, and connecting a smart dishwasher to your home network. Answers on Best Buy's own Q&A for the install add that extra charges may apply where the existing hookups are not up to local code. A first-time install with no existing water, drain or power at the opening is not a basic install; see new installation with no hookup.
Is Best Buy dishwasher installation ever free?
Yes, on select models. Best Buy runs a standing free-installation offer on qualifying dishwashers (checked August 2026), with brand-specific versions for select Bosch and select Samsung units. This waives the basic install labor, not the whole ticket. To claim it you add a qualifying dishwasher to the cart and choose the "Delivery with Installation" option at checkout.
What the free-installation offer does not cover, per Best Buy's own terms: delivery and haul-away charges may still apply, and any new parts required for the install (supply line, drain hose, brackets, cord kit) are sold separately and must be added to the same online order. Garbage-disposal installation is excluded. Clearance, open-box, and prior purchases do not qualify. So "free installation" means the standard install labor is waived on the eligible unit; budget separately for parts and haul-away.
Does My Best Buy Total membership cover the install?
No. A common assumption is that the My Best Buy Total membership ($199.99 per year, checked August 2026) waives or credits appliance installation. It does not. Per Best Buy's own membership Q&A, My Best Buy Total does not include free appliance installation, and there is no dishwasher install credit in the published benefits. The install is priced separately at checkout, the same as for a non-member, unless the unit is covered by the free-installation promo above.
What the membership does include is member pricing, 24/7 tech support, up to two years of product protection, and an extended return window. Those add value for a heavy Best Buy shopper, but none of them reduce a one-off dishwasher install fee. As a way to save on a single install, joining Total is not worth it; the free-installation promo on a qualifying unit is the real lever.
Comparing Best Buy with other retailers
Compare like with like: the Best Buy install price above excludes the kit, delivery and haul-away, and other retailers bundle those differently. Put the same dishwasher in each retailer's cart at your ZIP code and compare the full checkout total. Our Home Depot dishwasher installation cost and Lowe's dishwasher installation cost guides list what each package covers. For a job a retailer install will not take on (hardwiring, a new circuit, a first-time install), see plumber vs appliance tech.
FAQ
How much does Best Buy charge to install a dishwasher?
Best Buy lists its Geek Squad "Dishwasher Install" service at $179.99, added to a dishwasher order, with major-appliance delivery at $39.99. A separate "Standalone Dishwasher Install" is listed at $209.99. Those are Best Buy's listing prices, read November 2026; your cart price can differ by ZIP code and promotion.
Is the installation kit included?
No. Best Buy's listing says a new dishwasher installation kit is required and the existing one cannot be reused. Add the kit to the same order.
Does Best Buy haul away the old dishwasher?
Haul-away is a separate service for an additional fee, not part of the install. Choose it at checkout if you want the old unit taken.
Does Best Buy offer free dishwasher installation?
Yes, on select models. Best Buy runs a standing free-installation offer on qualifying dishwashers, with brand-specific versions for select Bosch and Samsung units (checked August 2026). Choose the "Delivery with Installation" option at checkout to claim it. It waives the basic install labor only: delivery and haul-away charges may still apply, new parts (supply line, drain hose, brackets) are sold separately on the same order, garbage-disposal installation is excluded, and clearance or open-box units do not qualify.
