Stove & oven FAQs
How long do ovens last?
An oven lasts 10 to 20 years on average, depending on the brand, installation quality, and maintenance. Gas ovens typically outlast electric ovens.
How long does it take to install an oven or stove?
Installing an oven-and-stove range takes 1.5 to 3.0 hours on average, depending on if it’s a new install or a replacement. Built-in ovens that need cabinet and counter modifications take longer.
More time is necessary for moving an oven-and-stove range to a new location or adding utility lines for installations where no range existed before.
Who can install an oven?
Professionals who install ovens and stove ranges include:
The Home Depot installers
Lowe’s installers
General appliance installation companies
Are slide-in ranges worth it?
Slide-in ranges are worth it for benefits like:
Modern aesthetic of a built-in look
Easily accessible front controls
Displaying more of a designer tile backsplash
Extra overhang stopping food and liquids from falling into side gaps
Freestanding ranges with backsplash controls are safer for homes with small children, who play with the front controls on a slide-in oven range.
Can a wall oven be installed under a cooktop or cabinet?
You can install a wall oven under a cooktop or cabinet if there’s enough space, according to the product manual and building codes. A wall oven is easier to install under an electrical cooktop than a gas cooktop.
Can you repair an oven?
Oven repair costs $150 to $350 on average, and replacement parts aren’t always available for ovens more than 10 years old. Consider replacing the oven if repairs cost more than half the price of a new one.
Can I install my own oven?
Homeowners with the right tools and skills can install their own oven. However, the oven warranty becomes invalid without proper installation that meets building codes. Hire a professional for high-risk jobs with electrical wiring and gas lines.
Getting estimates and hiring a range installer
Before hiring appliance installation companies, be sure to:
Compare 3+ bids and avoid the cheapest bids that may be low-quality service.
Check if the technicians have NASTeC or manufacturer certifications.
Verify that the company has licenses, bonds, and insurance.
Hire a business with 5+ years of experience.
Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Get a detailed repair estimate in writing before work starts.
Don’t give a full payment before the installation is complete.
