Appliance installation jobs we handle in Berwyn
Getting a new appliance into the kitchen is the easy part. In Berwyn we check what's behind it first: the gas shutoff, the circuit, the water valve, the drain and the size of the opening. Then we connect it per the maker's instructions, test it and haul the old unit away.
Wall oven or cooktop that doesn't fit the cutout
New wall ovens and cooktops often need a slightly different opening. We adjust the cabinet or counter to the maker's cutout spec.
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 →New gas range needs a hookup
A gas range swap includes a new connector, a leak test, an anti-tip bracket and a burner check. We do all of it.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Dishwasher waiting to be connected
If the store delivered the dishwasher without hooking it up, we connect water, drain and power and run a test cycle.
Dishwasher Installation →Ice maker with no water line
A refrigerator water line is connected to an existing valve, or a plumber runs a new one when needed.
Built-In Refrigerator Installation →Built-in refrigerator that needs an exact fit
A built-in fridge is installed to the maker's cutout, anchored into framing and finished with panels that match the cabinet fronts.
Built-In Refrigerator Installation →Over-the-range microwave replacing a hood
We install over-the-range microwaves fastened into studs, aligned with the cabinet and vented the way your kitchen allows.
