Penn Hills and Plum are where the eastern suburbs spread out. Penn Hills filled in after the war with brick ranches and split-levels on winding streets, while Plum grew later, with newer subdivisions and houses on bigger lots. In both, the kitchen is rarely the problem spot; it's the lower level, where the washer, the dryer, the second refrigerator and the chest freezer share space with a garage door that lets in the cold.
Two things worth knowing about La Cornue before we arrive: parts for a La Cornue normally come from the factory, so the wait for them is the main limit on a repair; and La Cornue builds heavy, with mechanical controls and burners meant to be serviced, which keeps its ranges repairable for decades.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
La Cornue: platform and parts
La Cornue designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to La Cornue alone, and parts for La Cornue work around Penn Hills & Plum come through its own supply chain.
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 La Cornue equipment
Most La Cornue equipment is built into cabinets or fastened down, so around Penn Hills & Plum 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 La Cornue 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 La Cornue appliances sit in Penn Hills & Plum
Chest freezers and second refrigerators in garages through the cold months, washers and dryers on basement floors that stay damp, dryer vents running long distances to reach an outside wall, and kitchens that have kept the same range or wall oven for decades.
No matter the brand, a La Cornue appliance in Penn Hills & Plum 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 the basement, often in a lower level next to an attached or tuck-under garage, or a first-floor laundry room in the newer Plum houses.
Stacked and compact laundry
In Penn Hills & Plum's apartments and converted buildings, laundry often means a stacked set or a pair of 24-inch machines in a closet. They do the job, but they're less forgiving: a kinked drain hose, a flattened vent or a closet door that chokes off the dryer's air quickly turns into long cycles and codes.
Separating a stacked pair and fitting it back into a narrow closet without damage is part of what we do. When you book, tell us how wide the closet is and whether it's two machines on a stacking kit or a single laundry center.
Dryer vents in older houses
Try this: run the dryer on its hottest setting for ten minutes and hold your hand at the outside hood. A strong, warm flow is what you want. A weak puff means something along the run is blocked.
In winter, the moist exhaust can freeze at the hood and hold the flap shut. A clogged vent is a fire hazard as well as a nuisance, so a full cleaning every so often is money well spent.

La Cornue in Penn Hills & Plum: 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.
No. Penn Hills is its own municipality, Plum and Churchill are boroughs, and none of them is part of the City of Pittsburgh despite the Pittsburgh mailing addresses. 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 Penn Hills & Plum.
Usually. When you book a Penn Hills & Plum 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 La Cornue 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. La Cornue makes its own platform, so its parts come from La Cornue itself.
In most cases, repair. La Cornue 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.
