Swapping appliances in existing cabinetry?

Pardon my ignorance, hopefully I am not missing how simple the answer is, but I have never done this and want to make sure I am considering all costs and the right direction to head.

I currently have a microwave/wall oven unit. Although it still works, we are doing a little updating and I think I'd like to splurge and get the Speed/Wall oven combo. (I've always wanted double ovens and micro, but don't have room for all 3 this is a good solution) So my question is....How do I know what may need to be done to the existing cut out in our cabinetry? Can I measure the outside of the current opening and compare to the specs on the other appliances? If there needs to be modifications, do I call a cabinet company, or do the appliance installers deal with this? Do the old appliances have to come out to see how it's set up before we know what needs to be done and the cost involved?

Again....sorry for my ignorance.... and TIA!
