"I had LimeBricks come in to replace my old cooktop with a new GE profile cooktop. Angel was able to come in the same day and take care of it. My new cooktop was slightly bigger so the countertop opening had to be modified a bit and Angel was able to take care of that as well. Great service and great price. Highly recommended."

"Alex was very prompt and friendly on our first contact. He was able to confirm what I researched online, regarding my moaning electric dryer. He listened to the dryer by phone, and I provided the model number of the dryer. He gave me an estimate for the repair, and promptly called me to schedule the repair, when the parts arrived. He was quick to repair our dryer, and provided some helpful recommendations moving forward, for the frequency to clean our vents. He saved us from having to buy a brand new dryer. He tested the appliance in my presence to confirm the repair. I d highly recommend him, due to the excellent service he provided. Thank you, Alex!! 🙏"

"Jacob was professional, meticulous, knowledgeable, courteous and helped us learn the correct way we needed to get several things addressed and fixed in two of our bathrooms (rebuild of a toilet, new valve/fix shower faucet, address faucet issues with a sink, install correct pop-ups for another sink, etc.). I'm grateful for his help and was so pleased with his responsiveness. He is easy to work with and respectful. We will definitely be calling him should needs arise in the future. Jacob was thoughtful and communicative as he readily identified the root issues and took the time involve us in the decision-making along the way for which parts and products to use. I called for an appointment with him based upon his reviews with Angie's List and am pleased to be sharing a strong review for him here as well."

"Jim and team did an amazing job with my long distance move (within state). They are extremely respectful, reliable, and professional and have an excellent work ethic. All furniture was received in the same condition that it left the original location. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for movers and will definitely seek out their help if I ever move again."

FAQs for appliance (microwave oven) installation and replacement projects in Berkeley, CA

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.
