Book it, we show up, we tune it up
Pick a time online, no phone calls.
A licensed tech inspects and tests your appliance.
We inspect, tune, and service it on the spot.
We back the work with a 180-day warranty.
Nothing happens until you say yes: after the inspection the technician hands you a written quote, and the diagnostic comes off the total. Every visit carries a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.
Signs It Needs a Tune-Up
Ovens and ranges drift. Your thermostat reads high, the igniter takes three clicks to catch, and the door gasket stopped sealing two Thanksgivings ago. Ignore that and you get ruined baking, plus a safety problem on gas models. A yearly visit catches the drift early, across San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Marin.
A visit takes 45 to 60 minutes, and the $80 diagnostic applies to any work you approve. Parts and labor carry a 180-day warranty. We hand you a written report on the igniters, elements, and gaskets we checked, and what to replace before the next holiday roast. We book same-day and next-day appointments.
Uneven baking results
Temperature sensor drift or a failing convection fan. Calibration or sensor replacement fixes this.
- Oven temperature calibration with precision thermometer
- Door gasket inspection and seal test
- Broiler element inspection
A maintenance visit starts from $195. The diagnostic is credited toward the total.
Longer preheat times
Igniter weakening (gas) or the heating element degrading (electric). Still works but nearing failure.
Gas odor when the oven is off
Gas leak at a valve or connection. Turn off the gas supply and call for service.
Oven door not sealing tightly
Hinges loosening or the gasket wearing. Heat loss increases cook times and energy bills.
Self-clean not working
The door lock mechanism or high-limit thermostat may be failing.
What the visit covers
Full System Inspection
We test all burners, igniters, heating elements, temperature sensors, door seals, and gas connections, then read the oven temperature off a calibrated probe.
Inspection & Calibration
We check burner port flow, inspect igniter condition, calibrate the thermostat, lubricate door hinges, and perform a gas leak check at all connections.
Report & Recommendations
We write down what we found: component condition, temperature accuracy, and any part close to the end of its life.

Maintenance vs. Repair
Maintenance
Planned · preventive
Repair
Reactive · on failure
Maintenance prevents problems; repair fixes them. Regular oven maintenance cuts how often you need a repair and pushes back the day you replace it.
What a tune-up prevents
Ovens drift out of calibration and gas fittings loosen with use. These annual checks keep the temperature honest and the connections safe.
| Maintenance task | What you avoid |
|---|---|
| Annual temperature calibration | An oven off by 25°F ruins baking and roasting results. Calibration restores accuracy without parts. |
| Gas connection safety check | We find micro-leaks at the fittings before they turn dangerous. Every gas oven and range needs this check. |
| Igniter and element inspection | Catching a weakening igniter early avoids no-heat breakdowns and from $285 igniter or element replacement. |
Oven, Range & Stove Maintenance Cost
$80 diagnostic - applied to your maintenance if you proceed. Written estimate before any work begins.
Payment due upon completion.
When to Call for Oven Maintenance
Once a year we calibrate the oven, check the gas connections, and test the door seal.
Burner & Element Inspection
Check electric elements for hot spots and gas burners for even flame. Uneven heating ruins meals and wastes energy.
Door Seal Check
A damaged oven door seal lets heat out. Your energy bill climbs and the baking goes uneven. If you feel heat escaping, replace the seal.
Temperature Calibration
Ovens drift off their set temperature. We calibrate so the dial and the cavity agree again.
Full Maintenance Check
Our technician tests all burners/elements, calibrates temperature, inspects gas connections, checks the convection fan, and checks safety controls.
