What is a Kitchen Appliances Supplier?

A Kitchen Appliances Supplier sources and delivers the key built-in appliances you need for your kitchen, including the oven, cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher, and often the microwave or integrated fridge.


Appliance supply usually occurs before cabinetry install and fit-off, so that appliance sizes and integration points are accurate.

What does a Kitchen Appliances Supplier do?

Your supplier will complete works according to your agreed scope of works.


Typically, they will:

  • Help you select suitable appliances based on size, energy efficiency, cooking style, and design
  • Confirm dimensions for appliance cabinetry cutouts
  • Supply and deliver appliances to site ready for installation
  • Provide product warranties and manuals
  • Coordinate with your cabinetmaker if needed


Some suppliers also offer appliance package deals across multiple brands.

Tip: Finalise Appliances Early to Avoid Costly Changes

Finalise your appliances early — appliance cutout sizes affect cabinet manufacturing, benchtop shaping, and even plumbing rough-ins. Changing your oven after the kitchen's built will cost you!


And always check electrical and gas requirements — some appliances need upgraded circuits or special installation clearances.

What to look for in a Kitchen Appliances Supplier

When reviewing quotes, look for:

  • Brands, models, and specs clearly listed
  • Dimensions confirmed (height, width, depth) for each appliance
  • Delivery coordination and inclusions (single or multiple drops)
  • Warranty terms and local service agent support
  • Energy ratings and compliance with Australian Standards
  • It’s a bonus if they offer showroom consultations or appliance demos.

Before You Begin: What You’ll Need Ready

To get quotes from Kitchen Appliances Suppliers, you’ll need:

  • Kitchen layout or cabinetry plans
  • Preferred brands, models, or feature list (self-cleaning oven, induction cooktop, etc.)
  • Site address and install timing requirements
  • Confirmation of gas/electric points if applicable
  • Budget range for the full appliance package

Average Timeframe

For this task, Pros typically provide quotes within 7-10 business days.

When Can I Expect Quotes?

Timeframes often vary based on demand and the type of Pro you're engaging (e.g. a plumber). If additional communication or clarification is needed is needed, the quoting process may take longer.

 

Don't be alarmed if you don't receive quotes or communication from any Build Buddy Pros straight away. Some work is more complex and the Pro may need time to comprehend your documents or scope of work. Depending on the job, there may even be some work required by the Pro before they are able to quote (e.g. a site visit might be required).

 

If the average timeframe indicated here has passed, and you have not received any messages or quotes, please feel free to contact the Build Buddy Expert Guidance and Support team for an update on quoting for this task.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to buy all appliances from one supplier?

    No — but bundling can often save you money and simplify delivery.

  • Will they install the appliances too?

    Usually not — the supplier delivers only.

  • What happens if my appliance is delayed?

    Early ordering avoids this! Appliances are often scheduled for delivery just before cabinetry install and fit-off to minimise site storage risks.
