Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Warrenville
A new range has to do more than fit the gap. In Warrenville 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.
Old gas connector that shouldn't be reused
Flexible gas connectors aren't meant to be moved and reused for decades. We install a new one sized for the appliance with every range swap.
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 gas to induction
Many owners want to leave gas behind. The first question is whether your electrical service can carry an induction range; we find out before you buy.
New range delivered but not hooked up
Many delivery crews drop off a gas range without connecting it. We hook it up with a new connector, leak-test the joints and light every burner.
Pro-style range that needs more gas and space
Larger pro-style ranges can need a bigger gas supply, a specific regulator and wider clearances. We check the specs against the line and the space.
Downdraft or venting questions
Some cooktops and ranges need a hood above them, and gas cooking makes good ventilation more important. We look at what's there and recommend the right setup.

Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation questions from Warrenville homeowners
Will you haul away my old stove?
Yes, haul-away is available with any installation.
Can I switch to induction in an older Warrenville home?
Often yes, but it depends on your electrical service. An electrician checks the panel capacity and runs a 240-volt circuit sized for the cooktop or range.
Does a wall oven need its own circuit?
Yes. Electric wall ovens run on a dedicated circuit sized to the oven's rating, and double ovens often need a larger one.
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 you install ranges and ovens I bought elsewhere?
Yes. Many of our installs are units the owner purchased on their own.

Kitchen permits require a copy of the electrician's license; owner-performed work is exempt. New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
