Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Hanover Park
Gas ranges, slide-in electrics, induction cooktops and double wall ovens each need something different behind them: a gas shutoff and connector, a 240-volt circuit of the right size, or an exact cabinet cutout. Our Hanover Park installers sort out what your kitchen has and what the new appliance needs.
Old gas connector that shouldn't be reused
An old uncoated brass connector or a kinked line behind the stove is replaced, not reconnected. Each joint is then checked for leaks.
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.
Range that tips forward when the oven door opens
If you can rock the range by leaning on the door, it isn't anchored. We add the maker's bracket and slide the unit back until it locks in.
Slide-in range that won't sit flush
When a slide-in range leaves a gap at the back or rides high above the counter, it needs adjusting on its legs and sometimes a small change to the counter edge.
Switching from electric to gas
Going from an electric range to gas means running a new gas line to the kitchen, which needs a permit and a licensed installer. We plan it and get it inspected.
New range delivered but not hooked up
Many delivery crews drop off a gas range without connecting it. We hook it up with a new connector, leak-test the joints and light every burner.
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.
What we hook up and check
- Supply and opening checkA check of gas valve or breaker, outlet type, cutout size and clearances.
- Disconnecting the old applianceWe isolate the supply and take out the old unit without damaging the floor or counter.
- Cabinet and counter adjustmentsOpenings trimmed or reinforced so the new appliance fits and is supported.
- Gas connectionNew flexible connector and fittings on the shutoff, made by a qualified installer to local code and leak-tested.
- Anti-tip bracket and levelingAnti-tip bracket fastened and engaged, range leveled side to side and front to back.
- Wall oven and cooktop mountingBuilt-in units secured with the maker's brackets and screws.
- Burner, element and oven testEvery burner lit and checked for flame, every element and oven mode heated.
What to pick before the install
Freestanding rangesFinished sides, controls on the backguard, the easiest to install and replace.
Gas and electric cooktopsDrop-in cooktops in the counter, with gas, radiant electric or induction heat.
Induction cooktops and rangesFast, precise heat through magnetic cookware; usually needs a 240-volt circuit with enough capacity.
Pro-style rangesLarger 36- and 48-inch ranges that often call for a stronger hood.
Gas, electric and dual-fuelGas burners with a gas or electric oven; dual-fuel units need both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.

Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation questions from Hanover Park homeowners
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.
Can you replace a cooktop with a different size?
We can. Laminate and wood cutouts are adjusted on site; stone is recut by a fabricator.
Do you install ranges and ovens I bought elsewhere?
Yes. Many of our installs are units the owner purchased on their own.
Will you haul away my old stove?
Yes. We disconnect it, cap or prepare the supply and take the old range or oven with us.
Can I switch to induction in an older Hanover Park home?
Often yes, but it depends on your electrical service. An electrician checks the panel capacity and runs a 240-volt circuit sized for the cooktop or range.
Do I need a Hanover Park-registered contractor for range or oven installation?
All contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a building permit is issued; apply via Inspectional Services. We take care of that before work starts.
Hanover Park building permit for range or oven installation: where do I apply?
Permits go through Inspectional Services Division (Hanover Park Fire Department), phone 630-823-5860. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Can Hanover Park bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Garbage hauler is Groot Industries (866-782-5161); page gives no bulk or appliance rules, call hauler or Village. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
