Default Ballpark Cost for Dishwasher Installation

I'll probably just let the installer bring/buy any
necessary parts such as plumbing valves/tees, hoses, cords, wire,
electrical boxes, etc. There is an Ace Hardware 2 blocks down the
street but all the big box stores are about 25-30 minutes away. So
I'll be paying whatever is the going markup of parts (and I'm ok with
that). I assume that when you ask for a quote the installer will come
out and see what you have, what you need, and will show up with
everything on the day the job gets done.

So, what's a good ballpark number? I know that regional prices differ
(I'm near Madison WI), and I'm still going to get two or three quotes
before doing anything. It's just that I have no idea what this could
run, be it $500 or $5000. I just need an idea, so when the quotes
come in I will know what's realistic and what's not.


There are any factors. The hot water line will probably be tapped under the
sink.
Yes, this is a good time to put in a disposal as the drain line had to have
a drain fitting anyway
Electric depends on access to the nearest usable circuit. If the kitchen is
above an unfinished basement, that makes it easier.
Is there a 24' cabinet next to the sink?

I'd say anywhere from $200 to $500 is reasonable, depending on the kitchen
layout.
