What stove and oven removal involves

Oven removal is one of those jobs that looks simple until you're staring at 200 pounds of appliance wedged between your cabinets, wondering whether you need an electrician or a gas technician before anyone touches it. The honest answer: it depends on your setup, and that's exactly the kind of question the crew at Junk Genius is trained to sort out before we ever show up. We remove gas ovens, electric ranges, built-in wall ovens, and freestanding units across the Twin Cities Metro, and we've been doing appliance removal for about 15 years. Call (612) 444-5865 for a free quote, and we can often schedule same-week.

What drives the cost on an oven haul-away? Mostly three things: how accessible the unit is, whether it still needs to be disconnected, and how much else you're clearing out at the same time. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. That price covers the loading, the dumping fees, the recycling fees, and the cleanup. No surprise add-ons at the door. We also back every job with a 10% price beat guarantee: bring us a written estimate from another licensed hauler and we'll beat it. Every job is different, so contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate on yours.

WHAT WE REMOVE

Every Type of Oven, Handled

Gas, electric, built-in, freestanding: if it cooks food and you don't want it anymore, we take it.

Gas Ovens and Ranges

Gas lines must be capped before removal. We coordinate with you on disconnect status before we arrive, so there are no delays on job day.

Electric Ovens and Ranges

240-volt appliances need to be unplugged or breaker-isolated first. We'll walk you through what needs to happen before the crew shows up.

Built-In Wall Ovens

These require removing the trim, sliding the unit out of the cabinet cavity, and navigating tight hallways. We've done it hundreds of times.

Freestanding Units

Easier to move, but still heavy. We bring the right equipment so your floors and cabinets don't get scratched in the process.

Commercial and Multi-Unit Jobs

Upgrading a rental property or small commercial kitchen? We can clear an entire line of units in one visit.

Appliance Removal

Clearing more than just the oven? See our full appliance removal service and we'll haul everything in one shot.

HOW IT WORKS

Three Steps from Call to Clear

We keep the process simple because you're already dealing with a renovation or a move or an estate cleanout, and you don't need another complicated vendor to manage.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Talk to a Real Person

    Call (612) 444-5865 and you reach someone who actually knows appliance removal. We'll ask what type of oven you have, where it's located, and whether it's already disconnected. No phone trees.

  2. 02

    Step 2: We Show Up, You Step Back

    We call 30 minutes before arrival. Our uniformed crew brings the right tools for your specific oven type, does the heavy lifting, and leaves the space clean. You don't lift a finger.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Responsible Disposal

    Metal components get sorted and routed to recycling. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible.

PRICING

No-Nonsense Pricing With a 10% Beat Guarantee

Volume-based, all-inclusive, and backed by a written guarantee.

Junk Genius built its pricing model around one principle: you should know what you're paying before we show up, not after. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. You're not paying line-item surcharges for stairs, for distance from the truck, or for materials we sort on our end. And if you've already gotten a written estimate from another licensed hauler, we'll beat it by 10%. That's not a slogan. That's a guarantee we put in writing. Every job is different, so contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate on yours.

DO YOU NEED US

When to Call a Pro vs. Doing It Yourself

Honestly, pulling a freestanding electric range is something a lot of people can handle with a helper and an appliance dolly. If it's plugged into a standard 240-volt outlet, unplugged, and sitting in an accessible kitchen, you might not need us for the disconnect step. But there are situations where DIY becomes genuinely risky. Gas line disconnects should be done by a licensed plumber or gas technician. Built-in wall ovens that are hardwired require an electrician before anyone pulls the unit. If the oven is in a basement, a second story, or a cramped rental unit with narrow hallways, the physical risk goes up fast. We've seen too many DIY moves that ended with a scratched hardwood floor, a damaged cabinet face, or a trip to urgent care. Our crews are certified in Waste Management Safety and MSW Hauling, and they do this specific work every day. Read about the real trade-offs of DIY vs. professional removal before you decide.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Recycling Your Old Oven the Right Way

Ovens are mostly steel and aluminum, both of which have strong recycling markets. We sort and route those metals instead of sending them straight to the landfill. Our Four R's philosophy guides every job: Remove, Re-use, Recycle, and Reduce. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Mike Reimann, who founded Junk Genius about 15 years ago with the explicit goal of building a greener hauling company, put it plainly: being green isn't always the cheapest path. We take it anyway. If you're also disposing of electronics alongside your appliance, check out our electronics recycling and removal options so everything gets handled responsibly in one trip.

THE TEAM

Who's Actually Showing Up at Your Door

You're getting uniformed, certified crew members who've done hundreds of appliance removals in the Twin Cities Metro. With 1,987 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, the track record speaks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Oven Removal Questions We Hear Every Week

Can I remove an oven myself?
For a freestanding electric range that's already unplugged, yes, most homeowners can manage with a helper and an appliance dolly. The risk goes up fast with gas connections, hardwired built-ins, or tight spaces. Gas lines need a licensed technician to cap. Built-in wall ovens often require an electrician. And a 200-pound unit dropped on a hardwood floor or a foot is a real possibility without the right equipment and technique.
Can you just pull an oven out?
Freestanding ovens slide out once disconnected. Built-in wall ovens are a different story: the trim kit comes off first, then the unit slides from the cabinet cavity, which requires tools and usually two people working in sync. Older built-ins can be corroded into place or sealed with years of grease buildup around the frame. We've seen units that took 45 minutes just to free from the wall before we could haul them.
Do I need an electrician to disconnect my oven?
For a hardwired electric oven or a 240-volt built-in, yes. Flipping the breaker and capping the wires is technically within a handy homeowner's reach, but the liability if something goes wrong is yours. A licensed electrician handles it in 15-20 minutes and costs far less than a service call after a wiring mistake. Gas ovens are a separate issue: those always need a licensed plumber or gas technician to cap the supply line safely.
How do you remove an oven from a wall?
Built-in wall oven removal follows a specific sequence: power off at the breaker, remove the outer trim and mounting screws, slide the unit forward on the cabinet tracks, disconnect the wiring harness or gas connection (if not already done), then carry or dolly the unit out. The cabinet cavity often needs inspection after removal for grease buildup or damage. Our crews do this regularly and bring the right tools so cabinet faces and flooring don't get damaged in the process.
What happens to my old oven after you take it?
We sort metal components, primarily steel and aluminum, and route them to recycling facilities rather than the landfill. Our Four R's framework (Remove, Re-use, Recycle, Reduce) guides every appliance job. We donate and recycle as much as we can whenever possible. Older units that still function occasionally get redirected toward reuse. What can't be recycled or reused goes to licensed disposal facilities in compliance with Minnesota waste management regulations.
Can you take the oven if it still needs to be disconnected?
We need the oven safely disconnected before we can haul it. For electric units, that means unplugged or breaker-isolated. For gas, the supply line must be capped by a licensed technician. We'll confirm all of this on the initial call so there are no surprises on job day. If you're not sure about your disconnect status, we can walk you through what to look for when you schedule.
