How Much Does It Cost To Install A Wall Oven?

If you already have a wall oven and you're simply looking to replace it with a new one, the job can usually be completed within a few hours given the appropriate tools, safety measures and a little bit of DIY knowledge. However, many homeowners aren't able to handle the weight of the oven and the electrical work that needs to be done, or they simply lack the required tools, so it's usually best to call on the professionals.

In some cases, the store that sold you the new oven can take out the existing unit, install the new one and take away the old oven to be recycled for a fee. This provides peace of mind that the job has been professionally done, and you won't have the old one hanging around waiting for disposal.

What You Should Know Before You Begin

• The size of the old oven and the maximum allowable space for the new one.
• How is your current oven connected? Some are hardwired, and some plug in to an outlet.
• What is the power rating of each oven? This information can usually be found inside the oven near the door hinges.
