Residential Fridge Install Recommendations

Looking to replace our Dometic with a residential refrigerator. Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere to have this done? We live in the Austin area so somewhere between DFW and San Antonio would work OK.

I was in the same boat as you about 3 weeks ago, except I was in Commercial Point, Ohio. Local shop quoted $600 to remove old and install new. I decided to do it myself. Saved the $600. It was fairly easy. Hardest part was finding people to come help push it through the side window. If you have a little bit of tool knowledge, give it a go. You're wallet will thank you.

I helped a friend replace the one in his '08 Camelot. Went out through the side window after removing the whole window. Took for of us and a pickup (for height), but it was relatively easy. Just wear gloves, there are sharp edges on the refers. but the blood wipes off easily!

I didn't have anyone around for removal. I took care of it with a Sawzall. Carried it to the truck in pieces.
