"My fridge was rusting from the inside out due to a defect. I contacted Good Guys to see if it could be fixed or if the appliance was better replaced. As I suspected, there was not a reasonable repair solution. Max was super responsive, honest, and gave excellent advice. He knew my appliance wasn't worth repairing and gave me replacement advice without charge. This is the kind of level of professional service that I thought was largely forgotten. He instantly earned my trust and I would surely use his company again for any repair with plasure. The business seems very appropriately named!"

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"Its been over 4 months and counting and my family is still waiting for the ovens to be repaired. Dinner has been on the grill or in the microwave for over four months. I'd say the expense for purchasing an AHS home warranty was my dumb idea."

"I reached Bill on my first call and described the problem (water pump) and he gave me an phone estimate. It was 30% lower than another bid I received from one of Angie's "A" list appliance repair firms who had charged me $160 to just look at it and make a repair bid. I decided to give that firm the job, but they never returned although the receptionist said the owner would call me back, but for 2 days he never called me back, so I called Moonlighting Appliance Repair. When Bill came and confirmed his price, I gave him 50% deposit so he could order the parts and he in stalled it 4 days later. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him for price and service.

FAQs for appliance (microwave oven) installation and replacement projects in Thermal, 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.
