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.

Local tip: Local code, permit fees, and how busy crews are this month move numbers as much as wage rates do.

What usually moves the number

Getting quotes without the circus

  1. Screenshot our mid/low/high band.
  2. Ask three licensed, insured pros for written scopes.
  3. Compare exclusions — permits, haul-away, thermostats, flashing — before crowning a winner.
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.
