REPAIR OR REPLACE?
IS YOUR STOVE / COOKTOP WORTH REPAIRING?
Cooktops are almost always worth repairing — igniters, switches, and elements are affordable, common fixes, and replacing a built-in cooktop is a costly job. For pro-style and induction units especially, repair is the clear winner. If you smell gas, book promptly and we'll prioritize it.
KEEP IT RUNNING
STOVE / COOKTOP CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
Keep burner caps seated
Misaligned caps cause uneven flames and ignition problems.
Clean spills off igniters
Food and moisture on the igniter cause clicking and no-light issues.
Use flat, correct-size cookware
Especially on electric and induction, for even heat and sensor accuracy.
Don't use harsh abrasives
They scratch glass and ceramic tops; use a proper cooktop cleaner.
