Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Mount Prospect
A new range has to do more than fit the gap. In Mount Prospect 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.
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.
Double wall oven on an undersized circuit
A double oven can draw far more than a single unit. An electrician checks the panel and runs a circuit sized to the nameplate before we install it.
Wall oven doesn't fit the old cabinet
If the new wall oven is too tall or too deep for the old box, we rework the cabinet opening and add a support shelf rated for the weight.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 applianceGas or power off, the old range, oven or cooktop disconnected and removed.
- Cabinet and counter adjustmentsWall oven boxes and cooktop cutouts resized to the maker's spec when needed.
- 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 testWe run the cooktop and oven so you see it working before we leave.
- Haul-away and cleanupThe old appliance and packaging leave with us, and the area is wiped down.
What to pick before the install
Gas and electric cooktopsDrop-in cooktops in the counter, with gas, radiant electric or induction heat.
Freestanding rangesFinished sides, controls on the backguard, the easiest to install and replace.
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 Mount Prospect homeowners
Will you haul away my old stove?
Yes, haul-away is available with any installation.
Can you replace a cooktop with a different size?
Usually. Cutout size is what matters, and we check it before you buy.
Can a gas range be converted to propane?
Often yes, using the maker's LP kit. The orifices and regulator are changed, then the burners are tested.
Can I switch to induction in an older Mount Prospect 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.
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 do range or oven installation in a Mount Prospect condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
What is the Mount Prospect building department phone number?
Permits go through Community Development Department - Building & Inspection Services, phone (847) 870-5675. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a Mount Prospect-registered contractor for range or oven installation?
A Contractor's License is required for general contractors (and listed trades); $200, valid one year, applied for through the online portal. We take care of that before work starts.
What happens to the old appliance in Mount Prospect?
Republic Services collects approved bulk items weekly at no charge. Appliances (white goods) cost an extra fee paid on pickup day. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Does Mount Prospect require a licensed electrician for range or oven installation?
Electrical contractors need the Village contractor license and must submit their state license/registration. A licensed electrician is required in multi-family buildings (condos, townhomes, 3-flats). New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
Do I need a permit for range or oven installation in Mount Prospect?
It depends on the scope. Mount Prospect's rule in short: Kitchen remodels need a permit and a code review (about 10 business days). We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building & Inspection Services.
