Appliance installation jobs we handle in Crystal Lake
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Crystal Lake: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Switching to induction
Before buying an induction range, it pays to know your electrical service. We look at the panel and the circuit at the range.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Leaks after a previous install
When an appliance installed by someone else starts leaking, we pull it, check each joint and put it back level and dry.
Dishwasher Installation →Over-the-range microwave replacing a hood
Swapping a range hood for a microwave means a mounting plate, a template-drilled cabinet bottom and a vent connection. We do all three.
Microwave Installation →New gas range needs a hookup
Gas connections should be made by a qualified installer to local code. We fit a new connector, leak-test it and install the anti-tip bracket.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Dishwasher waiting to be connected
We take a boxed dishwasher to a finished install: old unit out, new one connected, secured and checked for leaks.
Dishwasher Installation →Ice maker with no water line
No water where the fridge goes? We arrange a supply line and check it for drips after the first fill.
Built-In Refrigerator Installation →Built-in refrigerator that needs an exact fit
Built-in and panel-ready fridges need precise openings, anti-tip anchoring and clear ventilation. We fit them flush with the cabinets.

We do. Install-only jobs are a big part of our work.

It depends on the appliance and your wiring. We check before install day.
