Appliance installation jobs we handle in Palatine
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Palatine: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Switching to induction
Before buying an induction range, it pays to know your electrical service. We look at the panel and the circuit at the range.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Leaks after a previous install
Water under the dishwasher or behind the fridge usually comes from one bad fitting. We find it, redo the connection and test it.
Dishwasher Installation →Circuits and gas that may not be ready
New appliances can need more power or a different hookup than the old ones. We check readiness before install day so nothing gets delayed.
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 →Old appliances that need to go
When appliances are replaced, the old ones have to go somewhere. We disconnect them safely and haul them away.
Kitchen Appliance Removal →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 →Built-in refrigerator that needs an exact fit
We measure the opening, secure the unit and align the panels so the fridge looks like part of the cabinetry.

Kitchen Appliance Installation questions from Palatine homeowners
Can you install appliances in a condo?
We do condo installs, coordinated with management.
How long does appliance installation take?
It depends on how many units and how much prep. We give you a schedule with the estimate.
Do you also install range hoods?
We handle venting for over-the-range microwaves, and range hoods have their own service page.
Will my kitchen need new electrical work?
Sometimes. Wall ovens, induction ranges and built-in microwaves often need dedicated circuits. An electrician checks the panel and adds them.
Is the install done to the manufacturer's instructions?
Always. Proper installation per the instructions matters for safety and for how the appliance runs.
What is the Palatine building department phone number?
Permits go through Community Development Department - Building Permits & Inspections, phone (847) 359-9042. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a Palatine-registered contractor for appliance installation?
Contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a permit is issued. Registration is online and expires Dec 31 each year. We take care of that before work starts.
Does Palatine require a licensed electrician for appliance installation?
Electrical contractors must register with the Village, post a $10,000 surety bond and submit a copy of an accepted electrical license (Elgin, Libertyville, Schaumburg, Ottawa, Woodstock, Chicago, ICC Master Electrician; Orland Park supervisory certificate only). New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
What happens to the old appliance in Palatine?
Bulk items go to the curb weekly at no charge (Groot). Large appliances/white goods are collected Wednesdays for $20. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do Palatine condo associations need to approve appliance installation?
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.
Do I need a permit for appliance installation in Palatine?
It depends on the scope. Palatine's rule in short: A permit is required to remodel a kitchen or to add/alter the electrical system. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building Permits & Inspections.
