A Laundry Setup That Works Starts With an Installation Done Right
A washer and dryer sitting in your laundry room is not a laundry setup. What makes it one is a water supply that does not leak, a drain that does not back up, a dryer vent that does not trap moisture, and an electrical or gas connection that meets the Ontario code. Most installation problems do not show up on day one. They show up three weeks later as a slow leak under the machine, a load of clothes that takes two cycles to dry, or a gas smell that sends everyone out of the house. GHQ Mechanical handles washer and dryer installations with the full attention each connection requires. We set up both units, test every line and fitting, and do not hand the job back until everything is running the way it should.

Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Washer or Dryer
Washers and dryers typically last between 10 and 13 years. When the problems start accumulating, a new installation is usually the smarter financial decision.
Washer Warning Signs:
- Clothes are coming out of the wash still visibly dirty or with detergent residue on them
- The drum is not spinning consistently or is stopping mid-cycle
- The machine is leaking water onto the floor during or after a cycle
- Unusual vibration or loud banging during the spin cycle that has gotten progressively worse
- The unit is not draining fully and water is sitting in the drum after a cycle completes
- Repair costs are approaching or exceeding half the price of a comparable replacement
Dryer Warning Signs:
- Clothes are taking more than one full cycle to dry completely
- The exterior of the dryer is unusually hot to the touch during operation
- There is a burning smell during a drying cycle that is not explained by lint buildup
- The drum is tumbling but producing no heat on either gas or electric models
- The unit is making loud squealing, grinding, or thumping noises during operation
- Energy or gas bills have increased without an obvious explanation

Why Dryer Venting Is the Most Important Part of the Installation
Most homeowners focus on the water connections during a washer dryer installation and give little thought to the dryer vent. This is where most of the long-term problems start.
Proper dryer venting is vital to maintain safety and performance. Long vent runs, excessive bends, or damaged ducts can restrict airflow, trap lint, and increase fire risk. Blocked or poorly installed vent caps can also prevent moisture from escaping, resulting in possible damage inside walls.
We assess your laundry room layout, verify vent length and routing, and install the vent system to manufacturer and Ontario code requirements, guaranteeing safe, efficient operation for years to come.

Stacked or Side by Side: Which Setup Works for Your Space
The layout of your laundry area usually determines which configuration makes the most sense. Here is the practical breakdown.
Side by Side:
- The standard configuration for most dedicated laundry rooms with adequate floor space
- Easier to load and unload both machines without bending or reaching overhead
- Both units remain independently accessible for service and repairs
- Requires approximately 60 inches of floor width for two standard-sized units
Stacked Configuration:
- The suitable solution for smaller laundry closets, bathrooms, and utility spaces with limited floor area
- Requires a manufacturer-approved stacking kit to safely secure the dryer on top of the washer
- Front-load washer required as the base unit since top-load machines cannot be safely stacked
- Reduces the combined floor footprint to approximately 27 to 30 inches wide
- The dryer is positioned at chest height, which some users find easier to load than a standard floor-level front-load unit
We assess your space before installation and recommend the configuration that makes the most practical sense for your layout and the units you have purchased.

Gas or Electric Dryer: What Actually Makes the Difference in a Canadian Home
If you are installing a new dryer and have the option of choosing between gas and electric, here is the honest comparison for Ontario homeowners.
Gas Dryers
- Faster drying times with higher heat output
- Lower operating costs in Ontario
- Gentler on fabrics due to shorter cycles
- Requires a gas line and certified installation
Electric Dryers
- Lower upfront purchase cost
- Simpler installation with no gas connection required
- Compatible with most existing laundry room setups
- Higher operating costs and longer drying times
If your laundry room already has a gas line, a gas dryer is often the better long-term investment. Otherwise, a properly installed electric dryer provides steady operation for years to come.
