The drawer's requirements
The 30-inch (the 2.5's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 15-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 2026 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 30's), the 30 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's).
Electrical and built-in
The 15-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 120V (the 15's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 14 AWG (the 30's — the 2.5's; the wire'), the 2026 (the 15's — the 30's; the 14's), the 30 (the 15's — the 14's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 15's — the 30's; the 2026's).

The $0-$100 (the electrical's — the 2026's; the 30's), the $500-$1,500+ (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 30-inch (the 2.5's — the 15's; the 3's — the 500's), and the 2026 (the 30's — the 15's; the 0's). The 30's — the 2.5's warming drawer; the 15's — the amp.

Warming drawers (30-inch/2.5-ft typical) need electrical permits in ~40% of jurisdictions in 2026 ($0-$100; 15-amp/120V, 14 AWG) — budget $500-$1,500+; built-in cabinet fit is the real gate.
