1970s wall oven and cooktop combo

Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Hoffman Estates
Swapping a stove sounds quick, and often it is. When it isn't, the reason is usually an old flex connector, a circuit too small for a new wall oven, or a cooktop cutout that doesn't match. We take care of those details in Hoffman Estates kitchens so the appliance works safely from day one.
Pro-style range that needs more gas and space
A 36- or 48-inch range is heavier and hungrier than a standard one. We look at the floor, the gas supply and the hood before install day.
Cooktop cutout in the wrong size
Cutout dimensions come from the installation guide, not the old cooktop. We check them against your counter before you order.
Range that tips forward when the oven door opens
A freestanding or slide-in range without an anti-tip bracket can tip with weight on the open door. We install the bracket and confirm the rear foot engages it.
Switching from gas to induction
Induction usually needs a 240-volt circuit with more capacity than an old outlet provides. An electrician checks the panel, runs the circuit and we cap the gas line at the valve.
Double wall oven on an undersized circuit
Before a bigger wall oven goes in, the breaker and wire size must match the maker's spec. If they don't, an electrician corrects them.
Old gas connector that shouldn't be reused
Reusing the old flex line saves nothing if it fails. A new certified connector goes on with the new range, and the shutoff valve is checked too.
Wall oven doesn't fit the old cabinet
Replacing a decades-old wall oven often means resizing the cabinet. We adjust the cutout so the trim covers it cleanly.

- 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.

Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation questions from Hoffman Estates homeowners
Can a gas range be converted to propane?
If the model supports it, a qualified installer converts it with the manufacturer's kit.
Will you haul away my old stove?
We do. Removal of the old unit can be included in the same visit.
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 I need a permit to install a gas range in Hoffman Estates?
It depends on the work. New gas piping requires a permit, while connecting to an existing shutoff often does not. We find out for your address.
Can I switch to induction in an older Hoffman Estates home?
Many older homes can take induction after a new circuit is added. If the panel is full or small, that has to be addressed first.
What is the Hoffman Estates building department phone number?
Permits go through Development Services Department - Code Enforcement (Building Permits) (BS&A Online Permit Portal), phone (847) 781-2631. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Hoffman Estates contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register through a BS&A Online Contractor account (annual registration form and documents) and submit the Contractor/Design Professionals Registration Form and a Workers Compensation Affidavit. No fee stated. We take care of that before work starts.
What happens to the old appliance in Hoffman Estates?
Hauler Groot: appliance pickup is free but must be scheduled (847-734-6400); large/heavy items and debris over 1 cubic yard are billed per cubic yard. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for range or oven installation in Hoffman Estates?
It depends on the scope. Hoffman Estates's rule in short: Kitchen remodels go through the Residential Remodel permit: submit plans (1/4 inch scale) of existing and proposed kitchen showing plumbing fixtures, outlets, appliances and panel, plus a scope of work or contract. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Code Enforcement (Building Permits).
