What usually moves the number

Rebates (verify; don’t trust a random Facebook ad)

Microwaves rarely carry energy rebates. Check your utility only if bundling with a larger kitchen remodel. Start with IRS, ENERGY STAR, and DSIRE.

What this estimate can’t tell you. Roof pitch, an old house or code upgrades, tough access, permits, emergency or after-hours calls, and brand tier can push a real quote outside this range.
