"Cut the cord on cable. Finally! However, because we still wanted local channels and PBS, we needed an antenna. I called Atomic Service and was able to set up an appointment within a few days; Steve showed up right on time. He looked at possible indoor locations for the antenna and finally decided on the attic. Although he had been planning to sell us an antenna, it turned out there was a disconnected antenna in the attic left by the previous homeowners. He did not push the new antenna sale, which saved us around $70. I���ll quote Steve, ������there was no reason to increase your materials cost if the antenna already up there works���.��� He was able to run the coax from the antenna to the outside of the house where our cable main line was located. He made sure that our cable modem (yes, we still have somewhat of a cable bill) was connected directly to the cable main line. When splitting the antenna cable, he made sure that the TV we watch most received the strongest signal. Outside of the house, the coax was hidden beautifully; wife approved! Finally, he tested (and re-tested) everything to ensure all channels were clear and our WiFi signal was strong. He was not satisfied when the local channel we watch most wasn���t coming in clearly on one of our TVs, so he went back up into the attic (changed the transmission leads on the output terminal of the antenna) and got all channels to come in perfectly on all three of our TVs. He gave me a call the next day to see if this was still the case. Overall, Steve was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and clean. He was very patient with me and was more than willing to answer any questions I had along the way. Plus, his rate was extremely reasonable; for my money you can���t beat the level of service Steve provided! I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to cut the cord on cable that needs antenna installation."

"I was about to call an older appliance repair firm with lots of good reviews, but immediately received a call from Dan at APEX, a newer, but equally A-rated company. Dan promised that APEX Appliance Repair would deliver dedicated and professional service at a competitive cost, and they did just that. Our washer problem was solved completely in a timely manner with utmost courtesy and professionalism. We will certainly keep his number on our refrigerator."

"It was tricky to replace the microwave. In order for it to fit Jeff had to install 2 panels. It looks OK but not really good. I would not use your services again but look for some other professional"

FAQs for appliance (microwave oven) installation and replacement projects in Ames, NE

A pro can finish the job in one to three hours. Countertop models are the quickest, but built-in, drawer, and over-the-range units take longer because the installer may need to run a new outlet, modify cabinets, or add venting. Any add-ons can push the timeline closer to the three-hour mark. Hiring a licensed installer ensures the wiring is safe and the appliance operates at peak performance.

Because an over-the-range microwave doubles as a range hood, it needs proper venting. You can opt for a recirculating model that filters and recirculates air back into the kitchen, or a ducted unit that exhausts outdoors. Are you unsure which route suits your cooking style? Ask your installer for guidance before making a purchase.

Only microwaves labeled “over-the-range” have the built-in venting and lighting that’s necessary for safe, code-compliant use above a stove. Countertop models don’t have those safeguards. Before you swipe your card, have a licensed microwave installer confirm you’re choosing the right unit for the space and ensure compliance with local codes.

It’s best not to install a countertop microwave in your cabinets. Countertop models aren’t designed for use in an enclosed cabinet, and blocking those vents can trap moisture or even create a fire hazard. A built-in or drawer microwave is designed for tight spaces. Run your plans by an installer to make sure you’re buying the right style for the spot.

You don’t need an electrician if the outlet already meets the microwave’s power needs and sits in the right spot. In that case, you’re good to go ahead with the installation. If the outlet is undersized, outdated, or too far away, hire a licensed electrician to install a new one and ensure everything is code-compliant.

With routine care, most microwaves last between five and 10 years. To help them reach their maximum lifespan, wipe up spills immediately, wash the grease filter periodically, avoid using metal dishware, and close the door gently. Those simple habits reduce malfunctions and keep the appliance running smoothly for the long haul.
