Appliance installation jobs we handle in Aurora
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Aurora: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
New gas range needs a hookup
We connect gas ranges with a new flexible connector, check every joint for leaks and light each burner before leaving.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Range that rocks or tips
A range without its anti-tip bracket can tip forward with weight on the door. We install the bracket and check it's engaged.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Built-in or drawer microwave
A microwave drawer in an island or a trim-kit model in a wall cabinet both depend on an exact cutout. We fit and secure them.
Microwave Installation →Circuits and gas that may not be ready
Gas lines, 240-volt circuits, water valves and vent paths are checked up front, so you know what's ready and what isn't.
Old appliances that need to go
Old fridges, ranges and dishwashers are heavy and awkward. We carry them out and take them off your hands.
Kitchen Appliance Removal →Leaks after a previous install
Water under the dishwasher or behind the fridge usually comes from one bad fitting. We find it, redo the connection and test it.
Dishwasher Installation →Whole appliance package at once
Bought a full set of new appliances? We install the range, dishwasher, fridge and microwave in one coordinated visit where possible.

Kitchen Appliance Installation questions from Aurora homeowners
Is the install done to the manufacturer's instructions?
Always. Proper installation per the instructions matters for safety and for how the appliance runs.
Can you install a full appliance package?
We do. One crew handles every hookup.
Do you also install range hoods?
We do. Tell us about the hood when you send the other model numbers.
How long does appliance installation take?
It depends on how many units and how much prep. We give you a schedule with the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a gas range swap in Aurora?
It depends on the work. New gas lines need a permit and inspection; we handle it when required.
Can Aurora bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Appliances (refrigerators, stoves, water heaters) must be scheduled with hauler Groot, 630-892-9294, and carry one sticker; bulk items need stickers ($2.75 each) and bundles max 2 ft x 4 ft x 50 lb. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
What does Aurora ask for on electrical work?
City tests electrical contractors (ICC Standard Residential/Master Electrician accepted in lieu of testing). Electrical work over $500 requires a licensed Electrical Contractor, even for owner-occupants. New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
What is the Aurora building department phone number?
Permits go through Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora, phone (630) 256-3130. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a Aurora-registered contractor for appliance installation?
Contractors must be registered/licensed with the City (application, required testing if applicable, proof of insurance naming the City as additional insured). Homeowners may act as own contractor if owner-occupied 6+ months with a Homeowner Liability Waiver. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for appliance installation in Aurora?
It depends on the scope. Aurora's rule in short: Interior remodels, structural changes and interior plumbing always need a permit; electrical/mechanical may. We handle the permit when one is needed with Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora.
