Understanding the Different Types of Over-the-Range Microwaves
Over-the-range microwaves are becoming the more common choice for today’s kitchens. Sometimes, people can call microwave hood combinations since they offer excellent cooking performance and are double as hood vents, capturing smoke, grease, and odours coming off the cooking surface below.
You most likely chose an over-the-range microwave because of its sleek, built-in look and functionality. Getting the microwave off the counter means more kitchen workspace and a cleaner, more custom look. Building the microwave into the cabinets makes it harder to move around or replace, but that shouldn’t stop you from upgrading to a new model when it’s time. However, all of these features come with the compromise of adaptability.
- Standard over-the-range microwaves: Over-the-range microwaves are designed to fit into the space above a cooktop. They usually have a built-in venting system so that they can function as an exhaust hood for the range. Over-the-range microwaves of standard dimensions usually include the following: capacity (usually around 1.7 to 2.0 cubic feet), widths (from 24 inches up to 30 inches), and heights (around 17 inches).
- Low-profile microwaves: The other type is a low-profile microwave with a streamlined design that gives you more space above your cooking surface without compromising space inside for the items you normally place in a microwave. It has a capacity of 1.1 cubic feet and 1,000-watt cooking power.
- Convection oven combo microwaves: However, we cannot forget one more type—microwave convection oven combo. It is becoming increasingly popular with people looking to save space or have a utility that can handle all their cooking needs. A convection microwave oven has all the heating capabilities of a conventional microwave, plus oven features. You get the best of both worlds: convection cooking and microwave energy.
Convection cooking, which circulates air, cooks food from the inside out, helping retain the moisture and flavour sometimes lost when using a standard microwave. Your food gets oven-like heat from above and below but without cold spots, since the hot air circulates throughout the convection oven. Microwave ovens use very small radio waves that penetrate food, channelling heat energy directly to the molecules inside and speeding up cooking time.
No matter what kind of over-the-range microwave you choose to install or replace, Spark Service PRO is always nearby to help you. However, even if you install a new appliance, you should remember that it doesn’t mean you can forget it afterward. As with any other kitchen appliance, it needs maintenance and service.
Remember, microwaves can store a lethal amount of electricity, and it is extremely important that a licensed technician test them after installation and replace electric components if necessary. Whatever problem you are having with your microwave, contact us. We are prepared to fix it quickly when you need it.
New Over-the-Range Microwave Installation
Microwaves are masters of convenience and come in different types designed to fit your kitchen and cooking style. Whether you’re remodelling, replacing, or just upgrading to the latest innovations, it’s important to know how much space you have available to get the right fit the first time. Here, you are welcome to contact professional technicians at Spark Service PRO. Schedule a visit with one of our certified staff to help you choose the microwave of the right size for installation or replacement.
We prepared basic tips on how to install an over-the-range microwave. If you prefer DIY, you should understand what types of work it requires:
- Install a Vent for the Microwave
- Install an Outlet Inside the Cabinet
- Position the Microwave Fan
- Tape Up the Mounting Template
- Attach the Microwave’s Mounting Plate
- Hang the Microwave Over the Range
- Bolt the Microwave in Place
However, if you are replacing an existing microwave, a lot of the work, such as the wiring, cut-outs, and cabinetry placement, is already done. The most common DIY fail that can happen when using an existing footprint of the over-the-range microwave is getting the measurement wrong, which is why you should always double-check your measurements. That’s why the exact size should be kept in mind, and you should foresee what else can be used for the replacement before you remove it.
If the idea of installing a new microwave leaves you colder than last night’s leftovers, you can always hire a local technician to do the job for you. It will be the best decision as you will be working with an electric appliance, and special knowledge will be important.

Others Contractors | $150 – $300 | $200 – $450 | $250 – $450 |
