Start at the burner. Does the gas burner click and click without lighting? Is there a smell of gas near the cooktop? Does an electric coil stay stone cold while the others heat? Does a knob spark the wrong burner? Those symptoms separate igniter problems from valve problems from switch problems, and we sort them out before touching a part. Tuscaloosa homeowners across 35401 through 35446 call us for cooktop and range work, on all major brands, independently. If you smell gas, shut the supply off first. Then call us or fill out the quote form.

From Tuscaloosa we cover 35401, 35404, 35405 and 35406, plus Northport just up the river and homes out toward 35453 and 35452.
We measure current draw while the igniter glows. A weak igniter glows but never pulls enough amps to open the valve, so no gas arrives. That reading separates the two parts instead of guessing and replacing both.
Usually, yes. Many ranges allow a calibration offset through the control panel. If the drift is larger or wanders, we test the oven sensor's resistance cold and hot, since a drifting sensor feeds bad numbers to the board.
All three. Gas work involves igniters, valves, and burner assemblies. Electric means elements and infinite switches. Induction leans on coils, inverter boards, and cooling fans. We diagnose each one differently, since the failure families barely overlap.
Depends on the symptom. A dead electric coil is inconvenient, not dangerous. Clicking igniters, a gas smell, or a burner that lights late means unburned gas is collecting. Shut it off and call us instead of working around it.
Call us and tell us the symptom first. Many Tuscaloosa visits are set for the same week, often sooner. We give you an arrival window, then call before we head over so you're not sitting home all day.
Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Grinding? Puddle? Blinking code? Small details narrow the list of likely causes before we ever pull the machine away from the wall.
A technician runs through a checklist: power, controls, sensors, motors, seals, drainage. We test instead of guessing, then walk you through the actual fault and your repair options.
Some faults are worth fixing today. Others mean the appliance is near the end. We tell you which is which, then complete the repair once you say go.
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.
