Commercial range in residence, and other appliances
We are trying to pick out a range for the kitchen of our new home so that we
can design the kitchen around it. We have been looking at the Thermador and DCS line of 36" dual-fuel ranges, but balk at spending nearly seven thousand dollars on it with the options we'd like. Now I'm leaning toward a commercial gas-only unit, which should save me a few thousand, but I've been told that the requirements for a commercial unit installation are quite different from a unit designed for home use. What are they, has anyone done it, and does it void the warranty? I have plenty of experience *using* commercial-grade appliances, but zero experience in installation and building/code requirements. I suppose I should be asking this question relative to the other appliances we would like to have in-kitchen - namely, all commercial products. Specifically, a fast-cycle commercial dishwasher, under-counter installation, and a remote compressor refrigerator/freezer unit. The house is in the planning stages now, and we are concentrating our design of the main floor around the kitchen. The cabinets will all be full custom to accommodate our current and anticipated future cookware and dishes, and we are gadget freaks as well. So, it is only fitting that we pick out the appliances first and design the remainder of the kitchen around them. Any suggestions, folks that have commercial units in your house, what do you like?
