Ranges: Wall Ovens

Posted on June 14, 2021 By Pat D - Director of Training

There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a new wall oven. First, what size wall oven do you need? Are you replacing an existing wall oven, or are you remodeling the entire kitchen? If you're building a new kitchen, the sky's the limit! However, if you're replacing an existing wall oven, it must fit into the existing space. Wall ovens come in many different sizes; it's the width of the wall oven that will determine the size. Wall ovens are generally available in 24", 27", and 30" widths, with some high-end models measuring 36" in width. The height of the wall oven must also be considered, as it can vary between manufacturers.

Another consideration is fuel type. Will you be connecting it to gas or electric? Electric wall ovens require up to 50 amp/240V service. Gas wall ovens are designed for use with natural gas, but most can be converted to LP gas. (Please note this conversion should be performed by a licensed professional.)

Wall ovens are available in Single Wall Ovens, Double Wall Ovens, and sometimes triple configurations where a microwave is included (Microwave Combo Wall Oven). The most common wall oven colors are white, black, and of course the ever-popular stainless steel. With many unique styles available, including French door models, you've got ample options to help compliment your dream kitchen!
