Reliable Range Repair in West Town, Chicago
Oven will not light, pilot keeps going out or the broiler sits cold? We repair gas ranges in West Town apartments for owners and renters. A yes from the landlord wipes out the $79 diagnostic, and the price for each unit is set before any work starts.
Cold ovens and pilots in West Town apartments
Ranges in West Town rental apartments tend to run for years with no service at all. The bake igniter weakens slowly over that time. It still glows orange, but it no longer pulls enough current to open the oven valve, so the oven never lights. Some older ranges in these buildings still have standing pilots and a thermocouple. Dust on the pilot makes it go out, and the oven will not stay lit. The broil burner fails on its own schedule and is easy to miss.
A West Town range call, step by step
Igniter current, the oven valve and any pilot get tested before parts are discussed. Landlords with trouble in more than one flat can have each range seen on a single trip. Because gas range parts are small, a West Town landlord rarely needs a whole new unit. Each price is quoted first. The $79 diagnostic is dropped if the owner or tenant approves the fix.
Three ranges on one gas line in a West Town three-flat
A three-flat in West Town has three kitchens stacked up. Each one has its own gas range. All three feed off one gas service in the basement. So a weak burner on the top floor can start in the basement. We check gas pressure at the range before we blame the range. Then we look at the burner and its igniter, the part that sparks to light the gas. Owners often book more than one unit at once. We can look at two ranges on the same visit. Call (872) 250-3778 and tell us which floor.
