Quick answer
Appliance installation means uncrating the new unit, checking it for shipping damage, connecting it to the outlet, water line or gas shutoff already in place, leveling it and running a full test. We use a new gas connector or water supply line where needed. We do not add circuits, move gas lines or reroute plumbing. Call with the model numbers and we price the job before we start.
We repair Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Bosch, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and the other names found in Valley kitchens and laundry rooms.

The short version
What a kitchen appliance install covers
Delivery crews drop a range or refrigerator in place. Installation is what happens next: checking the model fits the opening and the hookups, connecting it properly, and confirming it works before the old unit leaves the house. Skipping that step is how leaks and tipping ranges happen.
We focus on kitchen appliances: freestanding and slide-in ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, over-the-range microwaves, refrigerators with water lines, and built-in units in existing cabinet openings. Laundry installs have their own page and their own set of checks. Dishwashers and disposals also have dedicated installation pages.
Every install depends on hookups that are already there. That means a correct outlet behind the range or fridge, an existing water stub with a shutoff, and an existing gas shutoff valve. If any of those is missing or wrong for the new unit, we tell you before connecting anything.
Parts and repairs
Installation tasks we handle
These are the tasks that turn a delivered appliance into a working one. Each step uses the hookups already in the kitchen. We bring the connectors, brackets and supply lines most installs need.
- Freestanding and slide-in rangesWe hook up to the existing outlet or gas shutoff with a new connector, then fit the anti-tip bracket.
- Wall ovensWe set the oven into the existing cutout, connect it to the existing junction box, and secure it to the cabinet.
- CooktopsGas and electric cooktops are dropped into the existing cutout and connected at the existing hookup.
- Over-the-range microwavesWe mount the wall plate into studs, hang the unit, and set the vent direction to match the existing duct or recirculation.
- Refrigerators with waterWe fit a new braided supply line to the existing valve, flush the filter, and level the cabinet.
- Built-in refrigerationPanel-ready and built-in units go into existing openings, with the anti-tip and trim set per the manual.
- Haul-away of old unitsWe disconnect and remove the old appliance so the new one can take its place.
- Full function testEvery burner, element, setting and dispenser is tested before we leave.
Los Angeles price ranges
Kitchen appliance installation prices in Los Angeles
Install prices depend on the appliance type and the access. A freestanding range is quicker than a wall oven or a built-in refrigerator in a tight opening. Stairs, steep driveways and long carries add time as well.
| Repair | Typical range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Freestanding range, electric or gas | $165 to $315 | Gas connector and anti-tip bracket |
| Over-the-range microwave | $215 to $395 | Wall plate, stud location and vent direction |
| Refrigerator with water line | $155 to $295 | Supply line, filter flush and door swap if needed |
| Wall oven in existing cutout | $285 to $545 | Single or double oven and trim fit |
| Cooktop in existing cutout | $215 to $425 | Gas or electric and cutout fit |
Installation figures are typical, not fixed. The real price depends on the appliance and the condition of the hookups, and you get it before we unbox anything.

Test run
We run burners, oven, cooling, ice and dispenser functions and walk you through the controls.
Symptoms
Installation problems we often correct
- Range rocks or tips forwardA missing anti-tip bracket is common on ranges set by delivery crews, and it is a real safety hazard.
- Fridge door will not stay closedA refrigerator leveled flat or tilted forward lets doors swing open, while a slight rearward tilt lets them close on their own.
- Water dispenser drips or leaksReused plastic water lines and overtightened compression fittings are frequent leak points.
- Burner flames too high or lowA range that was not converted for the right gas type, or a regulator issue, gives the wrong flame.
- Microwave sagging from the wallAn over-the-range unit hung without hitting a stud or with the wrong bolts can pull away from the cabinet.
- Appliance does not fit the cutoutWall ovens and cooktops vary in cutout size, so a new model may need trim or a different unit.

Pro-style ranges and built-ins in La Cañada Flintridge and Calabasas
Remodeled kitchens in La Cañada Flintridge, Calabasas, Encino and Studio City often carry pro-style ranges and built-in refrigeration from brands such as Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Sub-Zero and Monogram. These units are heavy, sized to the inch, and need careful leveling to line up with the cabinet faces. A quarter inch off shows as a gap you notice every day.
A 36 or 48 inch pro-style range can weigh several hundred pounds, so we bring dollies and floor protection. Before moving it, we confirm the existing gas shutoff and outlet sit where the new unit's connection lands. Pro models often place them differently.
Worth weighing
What to check before buying a new appliance
Measure the opening, not the old appliance. Check the width, height, depth and door swing clearance, and compare the new model's cutout or installation dimensions in the spec sheet. Ranges also need room at the back for the outlet or gas shutoff.
Then check the hookups. Note the outlet type behind the range, whether there is a water valve behind the fridge, and whether the gas shutoff is reachable. If you send us the model numbers, we will tell you whether the existing hookups fit.
Before you call
How to prepare for a kitchen install
Safe checks only. If anything smells hot, sparks or involves gas, stop and call.
- Clear a path from the front door to the kitchen and move rugs out of the way.
- Empty the old refrigerator and freezer a day ahead and let any ice melt into a towel.
- Locate the water shutoff behind the fridge and the gas shutoff behind the range.
- Keep the new appliance's manual and installation sheet with the box.
- Measure door openings and hallway turns if the new unit is larger than the old one.

Questions
Appliance Installation questions we hear in Los Angeles
Do you install gas lines for a new range during appliance installation?
No. Appliance installation connects a new range to the existing gas shutoff valve with a new flexible connector. Running a new gas line, moving the shutoff or adding pipe belongs to SoCalGas or a plumbing contractor. We check the shutoff location before the install day.
Does appliance installation include the anti-tip bracket on a range?
Yes. Every range we set during appliance installation gets its anti-tip bracket fitted to the floor or wall and engaged with the rear leg. Many ranges set by delivery crews are missing it, and we fit one when we find it absent.
Can appliance installation put an over-the-range microwave where a range hood was?
Often, yes. We mount the wall plate into studs, hang the microwave from the upper cabinet, and set the vent to match the existing duct or recirculate. We check cabinet height above the cooktop before starting, since some kitchens do not leave enough clearance.
Will you connect the water line during refrigerator appliance installation?
Yes. During refrigerator appliance installation we fit a new braided supply line to the existing water valve, flush the filter, and check for leaks at both ends. If there is no valve behind the fridge, adding one is plumbing work outside our install.
What happens during appliance installation if the new unit does not fit the existing cutout?
We measure before the appliance installation starts. If a wall oven or cooktop is slightly off, a trim kit sometimes covers the gap. If the cabinet opening needs cutting, that is cabinet work, and we tell you before anything is unboxed or connected.
Do you remove the old appliance during installation?
Yes. Disconnecting and hauling away the old unit is part of our appliance installation visit. We drain water lines, cap the connection points safely, and leave the area ready for the new appliance before we bring it into place.
