Stove repair in The North Side: what to know
North Side gas stoves are often older models on connectors that have been in place for years, sometimes on floors that lean. A stove that isn't level cooks unevenly and lets the oven door close poorly, and the leveling legs adjust from underneath. Burners that burn yellow or soot the bottoms of pans need their ports cleaned or air adjusted. An oven that takes a long time to light and then catches with a whoosh has an igniter warning you it's near the end.
How we find the fault: stoves in Victorians and big older houses
In the older houses a stove is more often gas, sometimes on piping that has been added to over the decades, and the complaints we hear most are an igniter that won't stop clicking and a burner that won't light. We work through the caps, ports and igniters on top, and the oven igniter and safety valve below. Problems on the supply side are a gas fitter's job.
Booking stove repair on the North Side
Tell us whether the range is gas and whether the kitchen is on the main floor or the garden level. In a converted house, give us the unit number and how to buzz in.
Finding the model number: Pull out the storage or broiler drawer and check the frame behind it, or look around the oven opening with the door open. Send the serial number too if you can; it tells us when the unit was built, which sometimes changes the parts.

Stove Repair in Houses, Apartments and Rentals

Troy Hill and Spring Garden are small frame and brick houses on steep ground, while Brighton Heights, the Perry neighborhoods and Observatory Hill are more like early suburbs, with detached houses on regular streets.
