Our 6-Step Cooktop Repair Process

We follow a systematic approach to diagnose and fix cooktop issues safely and efficiently:

1. Safety Assessment & Gas Shut-off - First, we check for gas leaks and ensure proper ventilation. If gas odor is present, we immediately shut off the gas supply and ventilate the area.
