Burners that click but never light, or a coil that stays cold on high, usually come down to a handful of parts. Igniters, spark modules, surface elements, infinite switches, or a valve that needs cleaning after a boil-over. Smell gas and you shut it off and call the utility first. We handle the rest. Induction and glass tops get careful treatment; cracked surfaces and sensor faults both show up in Boston kitchens. We work in Charlestown walk-ups and downtown condos alike. Describe the symptom to us, or send photos with the quote form.
Taking calls until 5:00 PM ET

We cover Beacon Hill and downtown in 02108, 02109 and 02110, the Back Bay and Fenway side in 02115 and 02116, plus East Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Somerville and Everett.
Both, plus dual-fuel and induction. Gas work means igniters, valves, orifices and safety valves. Electric means elements, infinite switches and relay boards. Induction means coils and power modules. Tell us which you have when you call us.
Almost always a part, not the appliance. A drifting temperature sensor is the usual culprit, sometimes the control board or a cracked element. We test the sensor's resistance cold, so the diagnosis isn't guesswork.
Yes, and it's usually a small repair. On gas that points at one igniter or a blocked orifice. On electric it's often the element or its receptacle. Isolated failures are simpler than whole-range problems.
That's most of the homes we visit. Rowhouses and walk-ups don't leave much clearance. We protect the floor, walk the range out carefully, and check for a gas shutoff before anything moves.
Call us and we'll give you real openings, not a vague window. Boston traffic and parking are part of the job, so we build travel time into the schedule. If you're in a walk-up or a building with a loading dock rule, tell us when you book so we arrive ready.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions so the tech arrives with likely parts on the truck.
Pick a window that works. Our tech tests the machine, checks power, water and drainage, then explains what failed in plain words. No jargon, no guessing out loud at your kitchen table.
Most jobs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you what and why. If the unit isn't worth fixing, we say that too, and you decide.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
