Great question. It is prudent to install a dishwasher near a sink to cut down on many costs. Keep in mind, you will need
24″ cabinet opening (some units do come in 18″)
110-volt electrical outlet for power (dedicated circuit preferred)
Water source 3/8 water feed to the unit
Drain/Discharge hose to a nearby trap
If a fresh install and close to a sink, I would estimate the cost to be around $500-$750 for a qualified plumber/handyman. This cost could vary based upon the above. A dishwasher is an excellent investment in the home and will help with resale value as well.
