Can any microwave go over the range?

• <div><p>No, you can’t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you’ll need above your stovetop. </p><p>Although countertop units are more affordable, they won’t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.</p></div>

Can I DIY oven repair?

• <div><p>Outside of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-your-oven-6-easy-steps.htm">deep cleaning your oven</a> and keeping your stovetop sparkling, you <b>should not</b> attempt DIY oven repairs, especially if you have a gas oven. <b> </b>Even the most straightforward repair can be dangerous if not done correctly, and that’s not a risk worth taking. It’s always best to hire an oven repair specialist to assess the repair needed for your oven and appropriately (and safely) take care of it for you. </p></div>

Q: Can any microwave go over the range?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you&rsquo;ll need above your stovetop. </p><p>Although countertop units are more affordable, they won&rsquo;t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.</p></div>

Q: How many years do ovens last?

• <div><p>With proper cleaning and maintenance, most ovens last 15 to 20 years. When it comes to longevity, ovens are one of the more enduring appliances. That's because ovens don't have as many moving parts as other popular large appliances, like dishwashers and washing machines, so they don't wear out as quickly.</p></div>

Q: What is a good wattage for a microwave?

• <div><p>The standard for most microwave recipes and instructions is 1,000 watts. Other aspects of your microwave need to be considered like size, functionality, and where it will be installed, but 1,000 watts is considered the standard for home cooking. Lower-end models will be 700 watts or less, causing them to heat food more slowly. The maximum wattage for a microwave is usually 1,700 watts.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair my own oven?

• <div><p>Oven repair is considered one of the most complicated appliance repair tasks. The disassembly often needed to diagnose and repair issues could leave your oven beyond repair if it's not done properly. Leave oven repair to the pros.</p></div>

Salmon Falls Animal Hospital recently changed ownership, and things are looking up. The building is being repaired, the "artwork" is hilarious, and the staff is competent, close knit and very friendly.

Did a very professional job and were honest about the condition of the systems. I have old systems, and both needed to be checked and cleaned, but no repairs were needed (which I knew), and they didn't try to talk me into unneeded repair work.

This is why I like owner-operators: Bob called right back, was here the same day, patched the electricity to the water heater so we'd have hot water while the furnace parts were on the way, made the installation and repairs while I was away, and everything works perfectly. And, he's cheerful,...
