Appliance installation jobs we handle in Oak Park
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Oak Park: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Condo deliveries and building rules
We coordinate with the building so deliveries, installs and haul-away go smoothly.
Leaks after a previous install
A slow drip from a supply line or drain joint can ruin a floor. We trace the leak and reconnect the appliance properly.
Dishwasher Installation →Whole appliance package at once
Bought a full set of new appliances? We install the range, dishwasher, fridge and microwave in one coordinated visit where possible.
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 →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 →Built-in or drawer microwave
Built-in and drawer microwaves need exact cabinet openings and often a dedicated circuit. We prepare the cabinet and install them flush.
Microwave Installation →Switching to induction
Going from gas to induction means a new circuit and a capped gas line. We check whether your panel can handle it first.

Can you install appliances in a condo?

Usually not for a like-for-like swap; yes for new gas piping. We check before starting.
