Preheat takes forever. The bake element glows on one side. A roast comes out raw in the middle and burnt at the edge. Oven trouble usually means a failed igniter, a drifting temperature sensor, or a control board that lost its mind. We test actual cavity temperature instead of trusting the display. Plenty of San Francisco homes still run older wall ovens built into plaster surrounds, and those need patient removal. Gas and electric both, all major brands, independent service. Tell us what you baked and how it came out. Call us.
Taking calls until 5:00 PM PT

We cover San Francisco from 94102, 94109, 94110 and 94112, and cross the bridge for Oakland and Berkeley homes too.
Elements weaken before they fail outright, and sensors drift as they age. A crushed door gasket also lets heat leak from one corner. We measure sensor resistance cold, then watch the temperature swing through a full cycle to find which one shifted.
No. That is the most common mistaken assumption in gas ovens. The igniter must draw enough current to trip the safety valve open. It can glow bright and still fall short. We test amperage rather than judging by color.
If you smell gas, stop and shut the supply valve. If a burning smell or sparking is present, turn off the breaker. Uneven heating alone is not dangerous, though results will stay unpredictable until we correct it.
Sometimes. A wall oven often needs to be unmounted from the cabinet to reach the rear panel, and that takes care with the surrounding trim. We plan for it and protect your cabinetry and flooring while the unit is out.
Tell us your neighborhood and ZIP when you call us. We book by area so a Sunset stop and a SoMa stop land on the same run. Parking is the wildcard here — if you have a driveway, garage spot, or a loading zone nearby, mention it. That alone can move your visit earlier in the day.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Odd noise, standing water, no heat. Have the model number handy if you can reach it.
Pick a window that fits your day. We confirm the address and ask a few questions first, so the van carries parts that commonly fail on your machine.
Our technician tests the machine, explains what failed, and lays out the repair options. Many jobs finish the same visit. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.
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.
