The noun form of the verb 取(と)り付(つ)ける (to install, attach, mount). A very practical word for anyone living in Japan, since appliance installation (取(と)り付(つ)け) and removal (取(と)り外(はず)し) are common when moving into apartments — Japanese rentals often don't come with air conditioners or lighting fixtures pre-installed.

The word covers both professional installation services and DIY work. Online shopping sites often offer 取(と)り付(つ)け工事(こうじ) (installation service) as an add-on when purchasing appliances.
