Appliance removal jobs we handle in Wheaton
A dead fridge in the garage or a stove that's being replaced doesn't have to sit around for weeks. We shut off and cap the connections, carry the unit out without scuffing walls or floors and haul it off from your Wheaton home.
Hardwired wall oven or cooktop removal
Removing a built-in cooking appliance means unscrewing it from the cabinet or counter and making the wiring behind it safe. Both are part of the job.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
We pull down the old microwave or hood, close off the opening or wiring and take it with the rest.
Gas range that needs disconnecting
We close the valve behind the range, take off the flex line and seal the outlet so nothing is left open when the unit is gone.
Clearing the kitchen before a remodel
When a remodel is about to start, every appliance has to come out first. We disconnect them all, cap the utilities and leave the room empty.
Appliance that still works and could be donated
If the old unit is clean and working, it may have a second life. We can take it to a reuse or donation outlet instead of the scrapyard where one will accept it.
Old refrigerator or freezer that has to go
Fridges and freezers hold refrigerant that must be captured before the metal is recycled. We shut off the ice-maker line, carry the unit out and deliver it to facilities that recover the refrigerant.
Doorways and stairs too tight for the appliance
Basement stairs and narrow back doors are where old appliances get stuck. We measure the path, strip what has to come off and use the right dolly.
What the install includes
- Walkthrough and route checkDoorways, stairs and the hookups behind each unit are checked first.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Wheaton homeowners
Is appliance removal free?
Not usually, since disconnecting, carrying and recycling all take time. We tell you the price before we start.
Can you remove an appliance from the basement or second floor?
We do. Stairs are a normal part of the job.
Do I need to empty or defrost the fridge first?
Clear out the food. An early unplug helps, but we can still remove it if you couldn't.
Can you take an appliance that still works?
Yes, and a working appliance may find a new home instead of the scrapyard.
What happens to my old appliance?
It's recycled or reused. Very little of an appliance needs to end up in a landfill.
Wheaton contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Yes: contractors register online with the City; $75 fee, renewed annually. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Wheaton?
Yes. Our crews work across Wheaton, including Downtown Wheaton, Wheaton Center, Danada Square area — ZIP 60189, 60187 — and nearby Glen Ellyn, Winfield, Glendale Heights.
