You’ll have peace of mind knowing your gas oven is installed correctly the first time. No more worrying about gas leaks, code violations, or damage to your expensive appliance.
Your kitchen becomes the heart of your home again. Professional installation means reliable performance, proper gas flow, and years of safe cooking ahead.
The stress of coordinating contractors disappears when you work with experienced professionals who handle everything from permits to final testing.
RB Mechanical Plumbing and Heating has been serving Manhattan residents for over 40 years. We’re not just another contractor – we’re a family business where you get Bobby and son Rob, expert professionals who treat every installation like it’s in our own home.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, we understand the unique challenges of Civic Center’s high-rise buildings and century-old infrastructure. Every technician is fully licensed, insured, and drug-tested.
Our reputation speaks for itself – we’re often the first contractor customers have worked with who actually comes in under the original estimate, not over.
First, we conduct an in-depth consultation to understand your kitchen layout, current gas infrastructure, and specific appliance requirements. This isn’t a quick look – we take time to get it right.
Next, we coordinate any preliminary work needed, like installing new gas lines or updating connections. If you’re working with other contractors, we loop in early to keep your project on schedule.
On installation day, we arrive with all necessary tools and materials. We connect your appliance safely, test all connections thoroughly for leaks, and ensure everything meets NYC building codes before we leave.

Every installation includes proper gas line connections, safety testing, and code compliance verification. We handle the permits, coordinate with building management, and ensure your installation meets all NYC requirements.
In Civic Center’s unique environment of government buildings and high-rise residences, we understand the specific challenges. Many buildings have strict alteration requirements and security protocols – we navigate these seamlessly.
We work with all major appliance brands and handle everything from basic gas ovens to high-end professional ranges. Whether you’re in a pre-war building or modern high-rise, we have the experience to get it done right.
Yes, NYC building code absolutely requires a licensed master plumber for all gas appliance installations. This isn’t optional – it’s the law for your safety.
The code exists because gas is highly combustible and even minor installation errors can have serious consequences. Only licensed professionals have the training and expertise to handle gas connections safely.
Attempting DIY installation or using unlicensed contractors puts your family at risk and violates city regulations. Always verify your contractor’s license before any gas work begins.
Most gas oven installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your kitchen setup and whether new gas lines are needed. Simple replacements where existing connections are in good condition go faster.
If you need new gas lines run or significant modifications to existing connections, the process may take longer or require a separate visit for preliminary work. We always provide realistic timeframes upfront.
The key is proper preparation – when we coordinate early in your project, everything flows smoothly on installation day. Rush jobs lead to mistakes, which is why we plan thoroughly.
We handle all permit requirements and building coordination as part of our service. Many Civic Center buildings have strict alteration policies and security protocols – we know how to navigate these.
This includes submitting alteration agreements, providing certificates of insurance, and coordinating with building management or co-op boards. We’ve been doing this in Manhattan for 40+ years.
Some buildings require advance notice or have specific contractor requirements. We work with you to ensure all approvals are in place before starting any work.
Absolutely. We specialize in high-end appliance installations and understand these units require extra care and expertise. When you’ve invested thousands in a premium range, you need installers who know what they’re doing.
High-end appliances often have specific installation requirements, special gas pressure needs, or unique connection specifications. We’re familiar with all major brands and their requirements.
We take extra precautions to protect your investment during installation, using proper lifting techniques and protective materials. Your expensive appliance is safe in our hands.
Every installation includes comprehensive leak testing at all connection points using professional detection methods. We test before, during, and after the installation process.
We verify proper gas pressure, check all fittings and connections, and ensure your appliance operates correctly at all settings. Nothing gets signed off until everything tests perfectly.
Final testing includes lighting all burners, checking oven operation, and verifying proper flame characteristics. We also provide you with safety information about your new appliance.
Yes, we provide detailed cost breakdowns before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for – no surprises or hidden charges later.
Our pricing includes all standard installation work, basic materials, testing, and cleanup. Any additional work needed is discussed and approved before proceeding.
Many customers are surprised when we actually come in under the original estimate rather than over. We believe in honest pricing and delivering value, not maximizing profit on every job.
