Installation of over-the-range microwaves, range hoods and built-in microwaves: mounting, venting, electrical and finishing.
Over-the-range microwaves and range hoods hang heavy over a hot cooktop, so the installation has to be solid, level and properly vented. A microwave screwed into drywall alone can pull loose. A hood that is not ducted correctly can fill cabinets with grease and the kitchen with smoke. In Nashville homes with open kitchens, a quiet, strong, well-vented hood makes the difference between a pleasant and a smoky living space.
We locate studs, mount the bracket and the unit at the correct height above the cooktop, connect the duct or recirculation kit, connect power, seal the duct and test the fan and lights at every speed. For built-in microwaves we fit trim kits and confirm clearances. We also remove the old unit and, if needed, patch the mounting holes. If ducting needs new routes, we explain the options before work begins. Because the unit hangs over a hot cooktop, we also check the clearances in the instructions, confirm the circuit and test the fan and lights on every speed, so you are not left with a noisy hood or a flickering light after the visit.
We find studs and use the right bracket and hardware so the unit is secure.
A proper duct and damper, or a recirculation kit, pull smoke out or clean it effectively.
A grounded outlet or a clean hardwire connection is confirmed and the power is tested.
We set the height, level the unit and fit trim kits for a neat look.
