Sorry to ask such a pedestrian question here, but the boards a great source of info for a newbie like me... does anyone know the approximate cost to install and over-the-range microwave? This seems like one kitchen upgrade I can easily justify based on utility.

I think this will be based in part on what is above the range now. Blank space ready to receive the appliance or do cabinets need to be moved and electricity routed there? Most people install these during a renovation so the installation price is not readily knowable since it is folded into the overall reno cost.

It really depends, I assume you didnt have one there before? Is thi sin Manhattan? You might need a licensed electrician to give you an outlet in the above cabinet. That means he will chop the walls and then somoene has to patch and paint.

I know it seems like a simple project but that could cost anywhere from $500-$1,000.00
