Most cooking equipment calls come down to a handful of parts: pilots and thermocouples, gas valves, igniters, thermostats and high-limit safeties. We carry the common ones and diagnose the rest on the first visit.

Smell gas? Shut off the equipment and the gas supply to it if you can do so safely, get people out, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Then call us for the repair.

Flat-rate, approved first. We diagnose, tell you what failed and what it costs to fix, and start only after you approve the price. No surprise add-ons on the invoice.
Common questions
Do you work on both gas and electric equipment?
Yes. We service gas and electric ranges, fryers, griddles and ovens. Our Virginia license includes gas fitting, so we can also repair or replace the gas connections behind the line.
Why does my fryer pilot keep going out?
A weak thermocouple or thermopile, a dirty pilot orifice, a draft from the hood, or a failing gas valve are the usual causes. We test each one.
Can you move or hook up new equipment?
Yes. We connect new gas equipment with proper connectors, shutoffs and restraints, and check for leaks and correct burner operation before you cook on it.
