A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Downers Grove: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
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 →Switching to induction
Induction usually needs a 240-volt circuit of the right size. An electrician checks the panel capacity, and we install the cooktop or range.

A new dishwasher needs a water supply, a drain with a high loop or air gap and the right power connection. We install it level and fastened in place.
