Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Elk Grove Village
A new range has to do more than fit the gap. In Elk Grove Village we check the gas or electrical supply first, connect the unit per the maker's instructions, put in the anti-tip bracket, level it and test every burner or element before calling it done.
Switching from gas to induction
Moving to induction means power, not plumbing. We have the panel capacity checked, the circuit added and the old gas supply safely capped.
Electric range with a mismatched cord or outlet
A new electric range ships without a cord. We connect the one that suits your outlet and check the ground connection.
Pro-style range that needs more gas and space
Professional-style ranges come with their own install requirements, from gas pressure to backguard clearance. We follow the maker's instructions.
Old gas connector that shouldn't be reused
Flexible gas connectors aren't meant to be moved and reused for decades. We install a new one sized for the appliance with every range swap.
New range delivered but not hooked up
A range sitting in the kitchen with no hookup is a frequent call. We bring the connector and bracket and get it cooking the same visit.
Switching from electric to gas
If there's no gas at the range today, a new branch line has to be run from the supply, pressure-tested and inspected before a gas range can go in.
Downdraft or venting questions
If the old hood is too small or only recirculates, a new range may be the moment to upgrade the ventilation as well.
What the install includes
- Supply and opening checkA check of gas valve or breaker, outlet type, cutout size and clearances.
- Cabinet and counter adjustmentsOpenings trimmed or reinforced so the new appliance fits and is supported.

Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Do I need a permit to install a gas range in Elk Grove Village?
Swapping a range onto an existing gas outlet often doesn't need one, but running a new gas line does. We confirm the Elk Grove Village rules before starting.
Does a gas range need to be professionally installed?
Connecting gas should be done by a qualified installer per local code, followed by a leak test. Mistakes here are a safety risk, not just an inconvenience.
Can you replace a cooktop with a different size?
Yes, but the counter has to match. Larger cooktops mean enlarging the cutout; smaller ones may need a filler or counter repair.
Do you install ranges and ovens I bought elsewhere?
Yes. We install appliances from any store or online seller.
What is an anti-tip bracket and do I need one?
It's a bracket fastened to the floor or wall that catches the back foot of the range so it can't tip forward. Ranges come with one, and we always install it.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
