One burner that clicks and never lights. A gas flame that burns yellow instead of blue. An electric coil or glass top element that stays cold while the rest work fine. These are separate faults with separate fixes, from igniters and spark modules to switches and burner receptacles. If you smell gas, shut the valve and call the utility first, then us. We service freestanding ranges and cooktops across Amherst and the nearby Buffalo suburbs as an independent shop covering all major brands. Ring us to describe what your cooktop is doing, or complete the quote form.

From Amherst we cover 14068, 14051, 14150 and 14031, plus runs into North Tonawanda, Cheektowaga and Buffalo.
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.
Tell us the appliance and what it's doing when you call us. We route Amherst jobs alongside nearby stops, so same-week is common and sometimes sooner. If a part has to be ordered, we say so up front instead of leaving you guessing.
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.
