Appliance installation jobs we handle in Evanston
Getting a new appliance into the kitchen is the easy part. In Evanston we check what's behind it first: the gas shutoff, the circuit, the water valve, the drain and the size of the opening. Then we connect it per the maker's instructions, test it and haul the old unit away.
Condo deliveries and building rules
Condo installs come with elevator bookings, insurance paperwork and work hours. We handle them with management.
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 →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 →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.
Range that rocks or tips
Anti-tip brackets are part of every range install we do, including ones we fix after someone else.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Old appliances that need to go
We remove old units with the floors protected; refrigerators go for proper refrigerant recovery and recycling.
Kitchen Appliance Removal →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.
