Gas ranges come first
Connectors on some older ranges can fail, and New Mexico Gas Company says even a slight move can do it. Its notice says to leave inspection and replacement to a licensed plumber, HVAC technician or contractor, and that a disconnected line gets plugged and capped (NMGC, 2021).
If a new range is being installed, ask the installer whether they disconnect the old one. Our guide to gas stoves walks through who does what.
Electric ranges
Most electric ranges plug in behind the bottom drawer panel on a large outlet. Turn the breaker off before anyone reaches back there. If the range is hard-wired into the wall, an electrician should free it first.
Your floor
A range sits on small feet, and it is heavy on a small area. Saltillo and older vinyl can chip or tear when one gets dragged, so we slide it onto cardboard before it moves. Expect to find a clean rectangle of floor and some grease behind it. Plan a few minutes with a scraper before the new one goes in.

Questions about stove removal
Do you remove gas stoves?
Yes, once the gas line has been disconnected and capped by a qualified person. Tell us the situation when you call.
Does the store take the old one?
Some retailers haul away the old range when they deliver a new one. Ask yours, and ask whether they disconnect gas, since many do not.
Will the ReStore take my stove?
Its 2026 list includes stoves and ovens, if they are gently used and resaleable. It has the final say.
