Installing a New Microwave or Replacing an Existing One?
From small holes and dents to damaged anchor points and pulled hardware, HANDLD provides professional drywall repair and patching for common wall damage in Toronto homes and condos.
Replacing an Existing OTR Microwave
If an existing over-the-range microwave is already installed, HANDLD can review the replacement unit and existing setup to determine the required removal and installation scope.
Installing an OTR Microwave
Installing an over-the-range microwave in a prepared location requires secure mounting and compatibility with the existing space, electrical connection and ventilation setup.
More Than Putting a Microwave on a Shelf
Over-the-range microwaves are mounted appliances that must be properly supported above the cooking surface and installed according to the appliance and existing kitchen configuration.
The mounting location, cabinet, electrical connection, ventilation setup and replacement appliance can all affect the installation.
HANDLD reviews these details before the approved work is completed.
What We Review Before Installation
Existing Microwave
Whether an existing over-the-range microwave needs to be removed.
Replacement Unit
The make, model and dimensions of the new microwave.
Mounting Location
The existing cabinet and wall configuration used to support the appliance.
Electrical Connection
Whether an appropriate existing electrical connection is available for the installation.
Ventilation
How the existing microwave or range ventilation is configured.
Access & Site Conditions
Any property, condo or installation conditions that could affect the approved work.
Replacing an Existing Over-the-Range Microwave
Replacing an existing OTR microwave is one of the most common installation scenarios.
HANDLD reviews the existing appliance and replacement model before confirming the required scope. Where the existing location and connections are suitable, the old microwave can be removed and the replacement unit installed using the appropriate mounting setup.
Differences in mounting hardware, dimensions, ventilation or connections may affect the work required.
