My old gas oven in a Plaza Midwood bungalow takes a long time to light. Is it safe?

Delayed ignition usually means a weak igniter. If the oven lights with a loud whoosh, stop using it and book a visit. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility.

Could the wiring in my renovated NoDa house affect my new electric oven?

It can, if the circuit was not updated during the renovation. An undersized or loose supply can cause poor heating or tripped breakers. We check the supply as part of the visit and say so if the fix belongs to an electrician.

Old Gas Ovens and New Electric Ones

Bungalows in Plaza Midwood and older homes in NoDa often have a gas oven that has been in place for years. Weak igniters, oven thermostats that read high or low, and door hinges that no longer close tight are typical problems. Uneven baking in an old oven sometimes comes down to a cracked or flattened door gasket letting heat escape. Parts for many older ovens remain available, and the technician tells you which ones are not.

New townhomes and renovated houses tend to have electric or smart ovens with touch controls. These can be affected by older circuits that were not upgraded during renovation, and by surges and flickers during storms. A breaker reset is a safe first step.

Leave the house and phone the gas utility or 911 if you ever smell gas. The technician tests igniters, elements, sensors and boards, checks the power supply for electric ovens, and gives you the diagnosis and price before replacing any part.
