Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does electric double wall oven installation take in the Atlanta area?
Most electric double wall oven installations take 3-5 hours, including disconnection of old oven, heavy-duty removal (150-250+ lbs), wall oven installation, 220V electrical connection (40-50 amp), structural support verification, temperature verification in BOTH ovens, and simultaneous operation testing. First-time installations or those requiring circuit upgrades or cabinet reinforcement may take 4-7 hours.
Q: What voltage and amperage do electric double wall ovens require?
Electric double wall ovens require a dedicated 220V/240V electrical circuit. Due to TWO ovens, double wall ovens typically require 40-50 amp circuits (higher than single ovens which need 30-40 amps). Both ovens can operate simultaneously at different temperatures, requiring more electrical capacity. Standard 110V/120V outlets CANNOT power electric double wall ovens.
Q: How heavy are electric double wall ovens?
Electric double wall ovens typically weigh 150-250+ lbs depending on size and brand. This is significantly heavier than single wall ovens (100-150 lbs). Professional-grade double ovens (Wolf, Thermador, Miele) are especially heavy due to thicker insulation, heavier construction, and premium components. Proper cabinet support structure is CRITICAL for this weight.
Q: Can my cabinet support an electric double wall oven?
Cabinet structure must be specifically reinforced to support 150-250+ lb weight of double wall ovens. Standard cabinets may require reinforcement. We inspect cabinet structure during installation and can reinforce if needed (additional charge $200-600 if extensive). Professional installation highly recommended due to weight.
Q: What sizes of electric double wall ovens can you install?
We install electric double wall ovens in 27" and 30" widths (these are the standard sizes for double ovens). Both sizes provide two full oven cavities with independent controls. 30" is more common and offers slightly larger capacity in each cavity. We serve homes throughout Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb, Fulton, and Forsyth counties with both sizes.
Q: Can both ovens operate at different temperatures simultaneously?
YES! This is the key advantage of double wall ovens. Each cavity has independent temperature controls, allowing you to bake at 350 degrees F in the lower oven while broiling at 500 degrees F in the upper oven. Both ovens can run simultaneously at completely different temperatures - perfect for holiday cooking and entertaining.
Q: Can you install any brand of electric double wall oven?
Yes! We install all major brands including Wolf, Thermador, Miele, Gaggenau, Bosch, KitchenAid, GE Monogram, Jenn-Air, GE Profile, GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, and LG. We can also install electric double wall ovens purchased from Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, or online retailers.
Q: Do you handle disposal of my old electric double wall oven?
Yes! For $25, we'll haul away your old electric double wall oven (150-250+ lbs) and take it for proper recycling. This is optional but highly recommended for complete service, especially given the heavy weight.
Q: How do you test both ovens for temperature accuracy?
We use a calibrated oven thermometer in each cavity separately. We set each oven to specific temperatures (250 degrees F, 350 degrees F, 425 degrees F) and verify the actual temperature matches the set temperature in BOTH ovens. We also test simultaneous operation with BOTH ovens at different temperatures.
Q: What is the capacity of electric double wall ovens?
Electric double wall ovens typically provide 4.0-5.0 cubic feet capacity PER CAVITY. Total capacity is 8.0-10.0+ cubic feet combined. Each cavity is large enough for a full turkey or multiple dishes. This is ideal for holiday cooking, entertaining, and cooking multiple dishes at different temperatures simultaneously.
Q: What wattage are electric double wall oven elements?
Each oven cavity has 2,500-3,000 watt bake elements and 3,000-4,000 watt broil elements. Convection adds another 1,000-2,000 watts per cavity. With TWO ovens, total wattage is 8,000-12,000+ watts when both operating simultaneously. This is why double ovens require 40-50 amp circuits (higher than single ovens).
Q: Do electric double wall ovens need gas connections?
No! Electric double wall ovens are all-electric and do NOT require any gas connection or gas shutoff valve. They only need 220V electrical power (40-50 amp). This makes them simpler to install than gas double wall ovens.
Q: What is dual convection?
Dual convection means BOTH oven cavities have convection fans. This provides even baking and browning in both ovens. Premium models have True Convection or European Convection in both cavities, adding a third heating element behind each fan for even better heat distribution.
