What did it cost you to install a washer and dryer hook up?
Hi have a very nice mother-in-law unit in a beautiful new build neighborhood. It's a great space with a great bathroom and little kitchenette. There is no washer and dryer and I don't want them using the main house laundry. I want to attract a premium renter. Obviously it depends on the home, but how much did it cost you to add washer and dryer hookups? This includes running the plumbing and drain, installing a 220v outlet and air vent. I know this is very market specific, but I was wondering if others had any experience installing such things and I'd appreciate any feedback on the matter, thanks you.

Thanks guys for all the replies.@Benjamin Timmins @Chris Sukala@Steve Babiak@Todd Plambeck@Royce J. I know I can get an accurate price from contractors in my area, and I can probably do it myself (with the help of my dad). Luckily in this new build home, the location of the proposed laundry facility is on the main floor and on an outside wall in a closet. It is directly on the other side of the bathroom sinks and toilet, the crawlspace is large, the electrical would go about 100' from garage panel. I'm not sure about the load, but in this new house, I would assume there is enough.
I was more looking for people who have installed this configuration in their rental home, and their costs and return from having the hookups.
