Appliance installation jobs we handle in Buffalo Grove
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Buffalo Grove: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Whole appliance package at once
A complete appliance swap goes faster when one crew handles every connection. We plan the order and haul the old set 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 →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 →Ice maker with no water line
If your new fridge has an ice maker and there's no supply behind it, a line has to be run. We connect it with an accessible shutoff.
Built-In Refrigerator Installation →Built-in refrigerator that needs an exact fit
We measure the opening, secure the unit and align the panels so the fridge looks like part of the cabinetry.
Built-In Refrigerator 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.
