What an appliance repair technician earns depends as much on where they work as on how long they have done it. The local cost of living, the mix of commercial versus residential work, and gas-appliance demand all push the range. The table below shows the official Job Bank wage band by province for 2026.
These are hourly low-to-high bands from Job Bank Canada, classified under NOC 72421 (Appliance servicers and repairers), updated November 19, 2025. The national median is $28.13 per hour.
| Province | Hourly low to high |
|---|---|
| British Columbia | $21.70 to $42.36 |
| Alberta | $18.25 to $37.50 |
| Saskatchewan | $20.89 to $36.85 |
| Manitoba | $20.91 to $34.80 |
| Ontario | $20.00 to $30.54 |
| Quebec | $20.00 to $42.00 |
| New Brunswick | $19.17 to $41.54 |
| Nova Scotia | $20.92 to $32.38 |
Provinces not shown, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, along with the territories, do not have a published Job Bank wage band for this occupation.
What drives the spread
- The mix of commercial and foodservice work, which pays above residential service
- Gas-appliance demand, where a gas ticket lifts pay
- Cost of living lifts the floor in British Columbia, Alberta, and the Greater Toronto Area
- Self-employed and route-based technicians can earn above the band on volume
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 72421. Newer technicians sit toward the floor while they build diagnostic speed, and technicians with sealed-system, commercial foodservice, and gas-appliance experience sit toward the ceiling, especially where emergency and commercial work is part of the role.
