Appliance installation jobs we handle in Lake Zurich
Our Lake Zurich crews install dishwashers, gas and electric ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, built-in refrigerators and microwaves, whether you bought them from a big-box store, a local dealer or online. Each one goes in level, secured and checked before we leave.
Dishwasher waiting to be connected
We take a boxed dishwasher to a finished install: old unit out, new one connected, secured and checked for leaks.
Dishwasher Installation →Wall oven or cooktop that doesn't fit the cutout
Cutout sizes change between models, so a replacement oven or cooktop may need the cabinet or counter reworked. We handle it.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Range that rocks or tips
If the stove moves when you lean on the open oven door, it isn't anchored. We fit the bracket that should have been there.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Circuits and gas that may not be ready
A bigger wall oven, a built-in microwave or an induction range may need a new circuit. An electrician handles it before we install.
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 →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 →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 →What the install includes
- Readiness checkModel numbers matched against your gas, power, water, venting and the opening.
- Old appliance disconnectedWe isolate supplies and unhook the old appliance safely.
