Appliance installation jobs we handle in Elgin
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Elgin: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Leaks after a previous install
Water under the dishwasher or behind the fridge usually comes from one bad fitting. We find it, redo the connection and test it.
Dishwasher Installation →Over-the-range microwave replacing a hood
An over-the-range microwave hangs on a wall plate and the cabinet above, and vents outside or recirculates. We mount it and connect the venting.
Microwave Installation →Built-in or drawer microwave
We cut or adjust the cabinet opening, check the circuit and install built-in microwaves with their trim kits.
Microwave Installation →Range that rocks or tips
A range without its anti-tip bracket can tip forward with weight on the door. We install the bracket and check it's engaged.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Circuits and gas that may not be ready
New appliances can need more power or a different hookup than the old ones. We check readiness before install day so nothing gets delayed.
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 →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.
