What you can expect at our Ottawa appliance store

Well-trafficked for a reason:

Home appliance showroom in East Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

On Industrial Avenue in Ottawa, Ontario, nine minutes from Byward Market, is where you’ll find the Canadian Appliance Source showroom. From this location, we serve Ottawa, Gatineau, Vanier and the area south of the 417.

Corporate customers in Ottawa, Gatineau, Vanier and the rest of the valley who shop for home appliances find our neighbourhood particularly convenient. We share Industrial Avenue with businesses like Alexanian Floor and Carpet, Solutions for storage and Bed Bath & Beyond. Floors, lights, shelves and looks are all available here, so a trip for a new fridge, oven, range, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer could turn into more.

Consumer customers find our location equally convenient for the same reasons, especially when they’re renovating their homes. It’s hard enough to squeeze store visits into a busy schedule, so having them all together is a real win. You could redo a room (or an entire condo) in one visit.

Being so close to the 417, we’re easy to get to from anywhere in Ottawa. You can park easy and feel ease of mind in the store as soon as you talk to one of our sales reps.

Speaking of the sales reps, they’re what makes us different

Our selection of dishwashers, fridges, refrigerators, stoves, ovens and ranges, microwaves, washing machines, electrical dryers and washer/dryer combos is impressive. So too is the brand selection; we carry the best from Samsung, LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Café, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Electrolux, JennAir, Monogram, Thermador and more.

This is definitely different than the selection you’d find anywhere else. But it’s not what makes us different because other home appliance retailers could just as easily pay the kind of attention to breadth that we do and have done since we opened.

What really makes us different is the way our sales teams are prepared to help you make the right decisions. We ask meaningful questions to get meaningful answers from customers and vendors. It’s how we know what brands to put forward and what recommendations to make.

We want you to be more knowledgeable when you leave than when you came in. We want you to be more prepared to make decisions about the appliances you want for your home or property. We want you to be more aware of the prices you can expect to pay for quality appliance. But mostly, we want you to feel more confident that you or your tenants will be happy the first time they use the new appliance.

Other stores across Ontario (and even across Canada) don’t have the selection to please enough people, the category background to provide anything other than generic answers or the price range we have. That’s not the case here. We train our people to not be afraid to challenge clients, especially when it comes to big ticket purchases like fridges and washers/dryers.

Why visit Canadian Appliance Source?

Selection. You know there’s more than one home appliance game in town, and you want to see the best players. Selection is everything when it comes to picking your home appliances because we have to fit both your space and your lifestyle.

Take a stove as an example. If you cook a lot at home, you might want something with more power to bring out flavours. Alternatively, if you live alone in a condo and order in most of your meals, a small, simple and dependable stove that can warm up a store-bought apple pie is all you need.

Either way, you want quality. And while you’re prepared to pay for it, you’re not prepared to overpay.

Breadth of quality

Our stoves, fridges, ranges, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers are curated at every price point so you get the best value from your appliance purchase regardless of price.

Still in the decision-making phase? Our team of representatives can take you through the pluses and minuses of each Canadian and international home appliance brand we carry.

Alternatively, you can search our library of resources for the type and/or country of origin of appliance you want. 

How we approach you as a new customer

It’s all about you. Every retailer says that, but with home appliances so many unique factors inform a purchase: how they’re used, how they save energy, how they look and fit and stay working. So we get to know you and what you value: efficiency, price, value, appearance, something else? Then we learn about your home, the space you’re working with and the kind of vibe you want to create for the room in question. From there, we’ll start putting together a selection of home appliances that make sense for you.

How we approach you as an existing customer

The first thing we’ll say to you is “welcome back.” We appreciate your business and we’re thrilled you’ve chosen us again for home appliances. We saved all your information from the last time you were here, including the styles you’re partial to and the needs of your home or business. If things have changed in your situation or you want to update anything, please let us know. We’d hate to waste our time recommending home appliances to you that don’t match your reason for returning.

This is where our passion for home appliances comes from

When you think about a home appliance, you probably think first and foremost about what it does. We think about what it could do.

An oven, for example: it cooks food. But the right one for you could usher in a new way of eating for you and your family. Maybe it’ll be healthier or richer or more diverse; but the point is that the new oven inspire change, experimentation and growth.

The same could be true for a microwave oven. The right one could push you towards buying and learning how to use a crock pot because you know when you defrost and them heat up the twelfth helping of something, it’ll be just as delicious as it was when you made it. This practice of batch cooking is better for your wallet and those crazy weeknights where the kids are hungry, the boss is calling, and the thought of cooking and cleaning is making your stomach turn.

What about a fridge? Again, it’s pretty simple: store the food you buy. But the right fridge could re-inform what you buy and how you eat. If the fridge has more room for fresh foods like veggies and fruits, you might be more inclined to buy more of them. And if it had more space for wine, you might be more inclined to expand your collection and learn a bit more about pairings.

A good dishwasher with extra room and a quick cycle mean less time loading and unloading, and less chance of missing something funny your kid says because your back was turned.

And what about a good washer/dryer combo? Can it change the way you clean your clothes? No. But it might change the kind of clothes you buy yourself. You could create a new look for yourself solely based on your washing machine’s ability to protect your clothes.

And if any of the home appliances you wind up buying are energy efficient, you could be inspiring a relative or friend to make a similar choice. That’s how the world gets better: one green choice at a time.

The area

We’re located just southeast of 417 and Riverside, in Ottawa’s unofficial home of big-ticket home purchases. This Canadian Appliance Store shares the neighbourhood with Structube, Flooring Canada, Alexanian Carpet and Centennial Glass. It’s easy to get to anywhere in Ottawa.

The neighbourhood’s food options are diverse and numerous. You’ll find a Five Guys next door, a Kettleman’s up the road and Lebanese Palace down the street. If you’re prepared to push it even further, you’ll find some of best Japanese in the city at 168 Sushi.

And our proximity to downtown lets you make an eclectic day of home appliance shopping. Augment the big appliance with small, unique pieces from boutique merchants all over Ottawa.

The other bonus to our location is our proximity to Ottawa, Vanier and Gatineau. If you’re from one of those places, you’ll have no trouble getting here and back. And as you go back you’ll pass by a bunch of stores that offer appliances like we do. You might even go in a few of them. But what you’ll realize very quickly is that you’ll be hard pressed to find any appliance retailer with the knowledge, dedication and good ideas we have.
