Range, oven and cooktop installs we handle in Chicagoland
Gas ranges, slide-in electrics, induction cooktops and double wall ovens each need something different behind them: a gas shutoff and connector, a 240-volt circuit of the right size, or an exact cabinet cutout. Our Chicagoland installers sort out what your kitchen has and what the new appliance needs.
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.
Switching from electric to gas
Electric-to-gas conversions are a small plumbing project. The new line is installed under permit, and the old 240-volt outlet is dealt with safely.
Downdraft or venting questions
If the old hood is too small or only recirculates, a new range may be the moment to upgrade the ventilation as well.
Range that tips forward when the oven door opens
Missing anti-tip brackets are common on older installs. We fasten one to the floor or wall and check it holds before we leave.
Cooktop cutout in the wrong size
If the new cooktop is bigger than the old one, the counter has to be cut; if it's smaller, a filler kit or new counter section may be required.
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.
New range delivered but not hooked up
A range sitting in the kitchen with no hookup is a frequent call. We bring the connector and bracket and get it cooking the same visit.

Install questions
Does a wall oven need its own circuit?
They do. If your circuit is undersized for the new oven, an electrician upgrades it before installation.
Do I need a permit to install a gas range in Chicagoland?
It depends on the work. New gas piping requires a permit, while connecting to an existing shutoff often does not. We find out for your address.
Can you install a wall oven in my existing cabinet?
Usually, with some adjustment. We compare the maker's cutout drawing to your cabinet first.
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.
Will you haul away my old stove?
Yes, haul-away is available with any installation.
