Appliance Installation Questions
Common questions about installing kitchen appliances.
How much does appliance installation cost?
Minor appliance installation starts at $175 for standard swaps with existing connections. Over-the-range microwaves typically run $200-250, garbage disposals $200-275. I provide specific quotes by appliance type.
Do I need to buy the appliance first?
You can purchase appliances from any retailer, or I can help source and coordinate delivery. I work with units from Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Bosch, and other major appliance brands.
Can you install over-the-range microwaves?
Yes, I mount over-the-range microwaves to upper cabinets and connect both the electrical plug and the exhaust connection, whether it vents externally or recirculates through a charcoal filter.
How long does installation take?
Most standard appliance swaps take 1-2 hours from removal to testing. Microwaves with external venting into a new duct location take longer and are quoted accordingly.
Do you remove old appliances?
Yes, I remove and haul away old appliances as part of the installation. Disposal fees may apply depending on local requirements.

Request ServiceThis section helps this page appear in minor appliance installation searches while giving readers honest information about what a professional installation involves.
Minor appliance installation covers the connection and setup of smaller household appliances that do not require significant electrical, plumbing, or structural work beyond basic hookup. Common requests include installing over-the-range microwaves that mount above the stove and connect to existing ductwork or a recirculating filter, ice maker connections to a refrigerator using a saddle valve or push-fit fitting, wine cooler and beverage refrigerator placement and leveling, countertop range hood installation with duct connection, and water filtration system installation under the kitchen sink.
In Twin Cities kitchens, over-the-range microwave installation is one of the most frequently requested minor appliance jobs because it involves mounting above the stove, connecting the ventilation duct or installing the recirculating charcoal filter kit, and hardwiring or connecting to an existing outlet in the cabinet above, all of which require careful leveling and wall stud location to mount securely. A microwave that is not properly anchored above the range is a safety concern, and the installation often reveals whether the existing wiring and circuit are adequate for the appliance's rated draw.
