Why Trust Spencers TV & Appliance?
When most people picture double ovens, they think about two units that are stacked on top of each other. However, it is possible to place the wall ovens next to each other, so they are at the same level.
If you're considering the installation of two side by side wall ovens in your home, it's important to know that side-by-side double oven designs, while less common, offer some significant benefits. Here’s what you need to understand about investing in them:

Shop Double OvensCan You Put a Double Oven Side by Side?
In most cases, yes, you can establish a double oven side-by-side setup in your home. There are two key ways to do this. First, you can buy two wall ovens and place them next to each other.
This will give you two separate control panels to work with. If you try to buy double ovens, they might be fused into one, or one oven will take up more space because it has the main control panel.
The next option is to buy a gas or electric side-by-side double oven range. With this choice, you will get both the side-by-side ovens you crave and a larger stovetop. Most of these larger ranges have ample burners and even room for a griddle. They are usually around 48 inches wide.
When you buy a double oven stove, the ovens might be different sizes. There is usually a large, more dominant oven and a smaller one to go with it. When you buy two single ovens and then install them side-by-side, you can enjoy two evenly sized ovens next to each other. Both options come with pros and cons.
Benefits of Side by Side Double Ovens
There are several reasons to add double ovens to your home, but side-by-side ovens have their own special benefits. Here are a few reasons to consider this option as you remodel your kitchen.
- Enhanced flexibility: You can prepare multiple dishes at once with your double ovens. You won’t have a main oven and a secondary oven because they are equally sized, which is uncommon with a double oven gas range.
- Improved accessibility: A side-by-side double oven setup is more accessible for people who cannot easily bend down to reach into an oven. This is also ideal for shorter homeowners who don’t want to reach up into a hot oven.
- Greater scalability: Double ovens are essential for big families. You can bake hundreds of holiday cookies quickly or make enough dishes and sides for all of your kids and guests at once.
Consider whether you want to bend down and reach up into ovens when you cook. If you don’t, look into side-by-side designs.
Installation Considerations
Before you start shopping for your dream side-by-side double oven models or even a double oven electric range, make sure your home can handle it. Here are a few factors to consider.
- Measure your space: Not only do you need enough counter width and depth for your ovens, but you also need space in your kitchen to open your ovens comfortably. Your family needs to be able to walk past without getting burned.
- Ventilation: Invest in a range hood that is at least as wide as your range – and ideally six inches wider total. Also, consider your ventilation needs for your ovens in case something burns or spills while cooking.
- Resale value: Double ovens can increase a home’s value. However, they might be too overwhelming for some houses. Don’t let your ovens take over your kitchen.
If you are concerned about your double ovens, bring in an interior design consultant. They can tell you whether your side-by-side double oven configuration is a good idea.

Maintenance and Care
While it might be nice to install a double wall oven configuration in your home, there are some additional considerations to factor into this decision. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Keep them clean: The only thing worse than one dirty oven is two dirty ovens. Skip the self-cleaning option and instead look into steam-cleaning models. Also, regularly wipe down your ovens after they cool so grime doesn’t build up.
- Schedule regular maintenance: No one wants their oven to break the day before Thanksgiving. Schedule maintenance appointments annually to check on your appliances and make sure they are in good shape.
- Teach your family oven safety: Your kids are never too young to learn how to be safe around appliances. Make sure your family stays away from the hot ovens and pets are kept out of the kitchen. A friendly dog or curious cat could create tripping hazards.
Additionally, always check your oven racks before using them – especially with double ovens. You might have moved a rack at one point and forgotten to return it to its original place. Once the oven warms up, these racks are often too hot to move.
FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about Double wall ovens.
Can I install a double oven myself?
Many oven manufacturers design their products to be easily installed. However, you still might want to hire a professional to handle your new appliance. They will make sure it is connected correctly and will use the right equipment to make sure it isn’t dropped.
What are the downsides of a double oven?
While a double oven might seem like a dream appliance, there are some downsides to choosing this option. You will need to clean and maintain both appliances. If one oven breaks before the other, you might decide to replace both, which could be expensive. Double ovens also take up more space, which could be undesirable in a small kitchen.
What kind of outlet does a double oven need?
The electrical connection you need will depend on your double ovens. Some ovens come with plugs while others are meant to be hardwired into your home’s electrical systems. You can convert a hardwired oven into one with a plug if you prefer. The electrical information related to your oven should be in your owner’s manual.
