Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Bartlett
Swapping a stove sounds quick, and often it is. When it isn't, the reason is usually an old flex connector, a circuit too small for a new wall oven, or a cooktop cutout that doesn't match. We take care of those details in Bartlett kitchens so the appliance works safely from day one.
Switching from electric to gas
Going from an electric range to gas means running a new gas line to the kitchen, which needs a permit and a licensed installer. We plan it and get it inspected.
Range that tips forward when the oven door opens
If you can rock the range by leaning on the door, it isn't anchored. We add the maker's bracket and slide the unit back until it locks in.
Electric range with a mismatched cord or outlet
If the range cord doesn't match the outlet, we install the right cord, and an electrician updates the outlet where needed.
Cooktop cutout in the wrong size
Cutout dimensions come from the installation guide, not the old cooktop. We check them against your counter before you order.
Downdraft or venting questions
A cooktop with downdraft venting needs space in the base cabinet and a duct path. We check both before choosing a model.
Double wall oven on an undersized circuit
A double oven can draw far more than a single unit. An electrician checks the panel and runs a circuit sized to the nameplate before we install it.
Old gas connector that shouldn't be reused
Reusing the old flex line saves nothing if it fails. A new certified connector goes on with the new range, and the shutoff valve is checked too.
Included with the install
- Supply and opening checkWe look at the gas shutoff or circuit, measure the opening and compare it to the new unit's specs.
- Cabinet and counter adjustmentsWall oven boxes and cooktop cutouts resized to the maker's spec when needed.
- Electrical connectionThe appliance tied into the correct 240-volt or 120-volt supply, with panel and circuit work handled by an electrician.
- Anti-tip bracket and levelingBracket installed, feet adjusted until the oven racks sit level.
- Wall oven and cooktop mountingBuilt-in units secured with the maker's brackets and screws.
- Burner, element and oven testWe run the cooktop and oven so you see it working before we leave.
- Haul-away and cleanupThe old appliance and packaging leave with us, and the area is wiped down.

Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation questions from Bartlett homeowners
Can you replace a cooktop with a different size?
Yes, but the counter has to match. Larger cooktops mean enlarging the cutout; smaller ones may need a filler or counter repair.
Do I need a permit to install a gas range in Bartlett?
A like-for-like swap usually doesn't; a new or extended gas line normally needs a permit and inspection. We check locally.
Does a gas range need to be professionally installed?
Connecting gas should be done by a qualified installer per local code, followed by a leak test. Mistakes here are a safety risk, not just an inconvenience.
Will you haul away my old stove?
Yes. We disconnect it, cap or prepare the supply and take the old range or oven with us.
Can you install a wall oven in my existing cabinet?
Usually, with some adjustment. We compare the maker's cutout drawing to your cabinet first.
Bartlett contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
Does Bartlett require a licensed electrician for range or oven installation?
Electrical work must be performed by a contractor registered with the Village as a licensed electrical contractor (stated in solar guide). New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
What is the Bartlett building department phone number?
Permits go through Building Division (Planning & Development Services), phone 630-540-5920. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a permit for range or oven installation in Bartlett?
