A call here is more likely to involve a freight elevator than a driveway. Downtown and the Strip have filled up with apartments over the past two decades, many of them inside buildings that started life as offices, warehouses or department stores, so the appliances are newer than the walls and the plumbing runs a long way. Up the hill, the Hill District and Uptown are rowhouse and walk-up country, where the questions are steps, parking and older service lines.
Two things worth knowing about Thermador before we arrive: Thermador's star-shaped burners carry flame along more edge than round ones do, so a patchy flame almost always means blocked ports or an igniter fault; and Thermador is a sister brand to Bosch and Gaggenau under BSH, but its pro ranges use burner and oven parts found only on Thermador.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Thermador: platform and parts
Thermador belongs to the BSH family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Servicing built-in Thermador equipment
Most Thermador equipment is built into cabinets or fastened down, so around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown the first thing we settle is how to get at it. We plan the removal before the day, book a longer slot, and protect the floor, the cabinet fronts and the counters before anything moves.
Pulling out a built-in Thermador also means paying for cabinet or countertop work, so a fault that would send a freestanding unit to the curb is usually just a repair here.
Where Thermador appliances sit in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown
Stacked washer-dryers whose exhaust has to travel through a building before it reaches outside air, 24-inch dishwashers in galley kitchens, counter-depth refrigerators boxed in tight, and electric or induction cooking in the converted buildings. In the Strip, restaurants and food shops add reach-in coolers, prep tables and ice machines.
No matter the brand, a Thermador appliance in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in a closet in the unit, usually as a stacked or 24-inch pair, or a shared laundry room on another floor of the building.
When replacing makes more sense
Some appliances have earned their retirement. When the repair would run close to half what a similar new model costs, and yours is already near the end of its expected life, putting the money toward a replacement usually makes more sense.
Built-in appliances are the exception, since replacing one means cabinet or counter work as well. We'll lay out both options and you decide.
Power outages and food
After a long outage, give the refrigerator several hours to pull back down to temperature before deciding it has failed. Throw out the first batches of ice, and check that the ice maker restarted.
If a unit is still warm the next day, or a washer, dishwasher or range shows a blank display, call us with the model number. Surge damage to a board or power supply is common and often repairable.

Thermador in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Yes. Downtown, the Strip District, the Hill District and Uptown (the Bluff) are all neighborhoods inside the City of Pittsburgh, not separate towns. Either way, both ZIP codes here are on our service map.
Yes, while it's under the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty repairs are normally handled by the maker's own service network, and we're an independent company, not an authorized service center. Once the warranty has run out, or the problem isn't covered, we're glad to take the job in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown.
Usually. When you book a Downtown, Strip District & Uptown visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Our first choice is the Thermador part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Thermador shares a parts bin with the other BSH brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
In most cases, repair. Thermador designs its appliances to last longer than economy lines and keeps parts available for longer, so a single failed part in a unit that's ten years old usually leaves plenty of good machine behind, especially when it's built into your cabinets.
